One of the more obvious perks of Guardianship, the Guardian Dragon's role in Adventure Quest is primarily through being summoned by various weapons such as the Blade of Awe and Guardian Blade. When summoned thusly, he will attack the foe with Element X, the damage dealt being a percentage dependent on the difference between the player and monster level. When summoned, there is a small chance that Guardian Dragon Jr. will be summoned instead, attacking the monster with its own base element and dealing roughly 67% of the damage his father would have done. Depending on the monsters' resistance to that element, Jr. might also summon his father as he runs off.
