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.

Kowareta Hana Warenaitate, meaning Broken Flower of the Unbreakable Shield family, is a dragon who hails from a faraway land, similar to the desert with high cliffs. At least this is the story that Kowareta tells everyone, not that anyone really believes her much anymore, after it was pointed out that she would have no idea where she was when she was in her egg. However, Kowerta still continues to speak of this land with a sparkle in her eyes.
