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.

Daemon Bloodmoon was one of the last original members of the Bloodmoon Clan, a group of Bleeding Moon Dragons that would travel and make a cave together for the betterment of the group with the philosophy of a group being better than one. Daemon is probably the biggest, quietest member of the group. He probably could survive on his own but prefers the companionship the others bring him. He is caring and uses his strength to help others before himself, even if he seems like a pushover for doing so. He won the affections of Mysfytt Bloodmoon and became her mate, giving him more influence on the group of misfit dragons.
