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.

When this dragon emerged from her eggshells, the first thing she smelled was the aroma of haggis, tatties and neeps filling Mirhana's cottage. Following her nose the hatchling clambered onto the stove but jumped off quickly when she discovered it was hot. The smell was too strong though and soon she climbed on the kitchen counter, examining the pots on the stove to see how she could get to the food. Finding her little paws were too short to reach it without touching the hot stove, she turned around and used her tail, pushing off the lid and using the shield at the end of her tail to spoon the tatties and neeps out of the pots. Soon another Guardian hatchling began to imitate her and plundered the pan with haggis on the other end. Naturally, there wasn't much left for their owner when she came home later that day...

In adulthood, Tatties and Neeps and her mate Wild Haggis can often be found hanging around their owner's cottage, begging for a plate of delicious haggis, tatties and neeps.
