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.

When Perry first came to the clan no dragon looked twice at him—he seemed to be just another Guardian dragon, even if a slightly more charismatic one than most. But soon enough it showed that Perry not only had more foresight than a lot of his brethren but also was able to adapt quicker to new situations than any other dragon in the clan. Nick Fury soon saw Perry's qualities and assigned him to lead expeditions far from the clan's lands to learn about foreign places and potential threads.

Perry has proven to be an able leader to these small expeditions with his charisma, skills, and ability to keep a cool head, and he could easily climb to a leading position among his clan if he ever could decide to actually stay home and lead them.

Other than his overall capability Perry is a bit of bore, keeps everyone—even most of his friends—at a distant, and the company of females seems to make him more insecure than the most vicious bands of Hellfires.

Well, no dragon is perfect.
