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.

Thanks to an unlimited lifespan, Urar is physically and mentally as young and fresh as he was the day he emerged from his eggshells. Sometimes he has crazy energetic moods, making somersaults like an Ochredrake or bouncing up and down like a Balloon dragon. He is a Guardian by nature, but as there are plenty of adult Guardians and not a huge amount of eggs and hatchlings in his clan, he is often free to go wherever he pleases with his happy-go-lucky lifestyle. With his boyish charm, he even managed to attract the pretty Silver called Tairbhe.
