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.

Alone—But—See—Other, or Alone, was paired with Together—Can't—Each, or Together, to be mates from egg hood. Their names combined to make the sentence: Alone Together But Can't See Each Other. Alone had become popular with the hatchlings because she watches them. Although Alone is popular with the hatchlings, she doesn't want to have any. In Alone's spare time, she enjoys experimenting with cooking. She has a big pot over a ever burning fire. Alone calls on the help of the hatchlings to get ingredients. The elders love Alone's soups.
