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.

Defender of the weak, protector of the defenseless, and guardian of those not fortunate enough to have her tough hide and tougher take on bullies, this Guardian dragon has found thirty-four (and counting) different ways of stating her purpose in life.  She punctuates her sentences with her "I am the guardian," hovers over playful hatchlings, and fairly becomes the pygmies' shadows--all in the name of doing her duty.  It has been theorized that the other dragons would better appreciate this devotion to justice and peace if she would simply stop testing all the food to make sure it hasn't been poisoned.
