Saru is the pet dog belonging to two World Nobles, Saint Rosward and Saint Shalria. Living among the Celestial Dragons at Mary Geoise, the animal shares its owners' contempt for commoners, even down to the protective helmet it wears.
Following the custom of its World Noble masters, Saru wears a helmet meant to shield it from the air that ordinary people breathe. In coloring and overall shape it resembles a pug, the small toy breed, though its body and legs run longer than usual and its tail hangs straight rather than curling.
