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 Guardian hatched the first thing he noticed was the aroma of freshly cooked haggis filling his nostrils. Following his nose to the kitchen of Mirhana's cottage, he found another Guardian hatchie using her tail as a spoon to get to the contents of the cooking pots. Soon he began to imitate her, and when their owner returned home later that afternoon it was only to find her kitchen ravaged and two hatchlings fast asleep on her kitchen floor with bellies as thick as balloons.

Haggis has begged his owner for the recipe of the dish he was named after, but unfortunately she refused to disclose it unless he brought her the main ingredient, a wild haggis. He has searched the highlands for years, but still hasn't been able to find one of these illusive hairy creatures. His owner must be a legendary good hunter though, for every once in a while she will give in and cook him and his mate their beloved haggis, tatties and neeps.
