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.

Strong and intelligent, Luna was the first to hatch from her steel-blue egg. As she grew from a lanky hatchling into a full-grown dragon, she began to see her duty as to protect those that are still defenseless. She now spends her days watching silently over the hatchlings playing around her. For those who have parents present, she acts as a baby sitter. But for those who are snatched from the cave, or were abandoned, she is their life line and guardian until they reach the safety of maturity.
