Animal Gems

The Animal Gems are mystical items created by the Queen of Drakonia for the Guardians in an area now known as the Vanishing Point. The gems bestowed different abilities to each Guardian and their job was to protect the Drakonian Royal Family. When Drakonia was on the verge of destruction, the Queen sent away all her daughters to the various Earths in the mutliverse. The Drakonian Elder, Hu-Or, the Paragon of the Center, kept four of the five gems and kept watch for the new Guardians; prophesied to be five women who will be the protectors of the True Drakonian Heir.

A pair of Drakonians who were in possession of the gem known as the Wolf's Paw, found their way to Earth-1 along with their three-year-old daughter, Selena. For her safety, they left Selena at a sanctuary in Starling City's Glades district, where she was soon found by Rebecca Merlyn. The Wolf's Paw remained in Selena's possession and it's powers activated when she turned 16.

In Vengie D's Mysticverse, they are replaced by the Zodiac Gems
