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.

Bedua is the most vicious flirt. She will always hang around the males, preening herself, but she will never mate. She loves to polish her shield and then stare at herself in it. Her favorite game is cloud catching. Whenever possible she will fly up and scoop them up in her shield. She is still trying to figure out how to keep them there as she flies back to the ground. She can sometimes be very haughty, and likes to rely on her own ideas rather than listen to the suggestions of others.
