Guardian Dragons have large shields on the end of their tails. Although the shields appear to be heavy, they are light, yet nearly unbreakable. Guardian Dragons use their tail-shields, as well as their wings, to deflect attacks and protect others. Often, they will guard the eggs and hatchlings of a nest while others are away. They are generally peaceful, and will not retaliate unless necessary. They have no need to forage or hunt, as they are fed by those they protect.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Viima is a self-assured dragon whose mind seems to be forever young. He enjoys fooling and playing, but otherwise he's a typical guardian dragon. He never lets anything bad happen to the eggs and hatchlings. He's very quick with his movements and he often makes the enemies leave in a hurry. That's why he has a name "Viima" which is Finnish and stands for "strong wind". Viima is not violent at all, but sometimes the huge confidence that he has about himself may get him into trouble.
