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.

Argus makes sure everyone is safe, and keeps away dragons who aren't from the clan. His name even means guardian in Greek, so he does just that. He guards everyone and keeps them all safe. He even goes so far to protect everyone, that he doesn't sleep most nights, and he doesn't relax. Well, if he does, it's very rare. He has trained himself to be the best he can be, and he is the quickest flier and the strongest dragon in the clan. None can beat him in a fight. He uses his tail to smash into his opponents, and sometimes it knocks them unconscious. Usually intruders on the clans land will run or fly away with their tail between their legs, possibly a scar, and terrified memories of Argus.
