Bleeding Moon Dragons are mostly nocturnal creatures. When outside in the sun, the small red spatters on their back grow and spread, making the dragons appear to “bleed.” It is said that the darker the shade of red, the more aggressive the dragon. Their tail barbs contain a powerful neuro-toxin which they use to subdue their prey. They are solitary creatures except when mating, preferring to dwell in the caves in mountains or other high places. Their large wingspan makes them fast flyers as well as fast runners, but they prefer to glide instead. Males are very competitive and will try almost everything to impress females, who will choose their mates based on speed and performance. Juveniles tend to form bachelor groups once fledged.

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.

This bleeding moon is sick of being asked if she has seen "Bob the Terrifying Dragon" in the skies over Lloyprij. Her sister, the celestial "constellation" who earned such an embarrassing name among the humans has long since flown on to other skies. Just because she got a job protecting a giant telescope from vandals and thieves doesn't mean she knows or cares about the stars nor family members she hasn't talked to in years. She has taken to eating anyone who asks her about "Bob" in the hopes it will discourage the social primates from harassing her about inaccurate astronomical details.
