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.

Towtow always has calm and serene air around her, her blunt horns and large stature doing nothing but add to her gentle appearance. Usually the guardian can been seen peacefully snoozing in a ray of sunlight, absorbing the suns energy to save and use for another day. Though Towtow is considered a placid dragon, she is actually quite volatile. Loud noises and sudden movements easily snap Towtow out of her naps and send her into fierce rages. Blinded with her sudden anger, Towtow will flail about for a bit, usually causing a lot of damage before calming down again and going to sleep. Her friends often wonder if Towtow has narcolepsy or multiple personality disorder or some combination of the two.
