Spirit Ward Dragons are a special breed that ward off evil spirits—at least, that’s what the legends say. During nighttime festivals, people love to see these dragons, because they believe that the dragons guard against evil spirits. The dragons are dark-colored, but glow with a flame-colored internal light that has an intensity that they control.

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.

Garos is feared by many. He appears scary, but he only attacks if attacked. He's very protective over his mate, Sherne. Despite his tough appearance, he's typically friends with Pygmy dragons. They love his presence, since he keeps them safe from physical attacks and evil spirits. He's great in battle, but his voice is quiet. He prefers communicating telepathically over vocal dragon calls.
