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.

Masinko is a very loving and caring dragon. He will protect and has weathered it all... angry Black Dragons, gigantic waves caused by surfacing Deep Sea Dragons, having Horse Dragons stampede on him. He's been taught a few spells by black dragons who have given their eggs to him. Masinko knows every dragon breed out there and has had numerous conversations with them. Like the rest of his owner's dragons, he is constantly playing or hunting, but he still has to take time to watch new eggs when they arrive.
