Dark Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

Dusktalons is the sixth eldest of Clematis Cave.

Dusktalons is a narcissistic, intelligent, protective, unfriendly dragon in love with his own appearance. He takes pride in his black scales that occasionally seem to shine as though they could produce their own light. He will try his best to remove any flaw upon his sleek body. He often acts as a guard for the cave, watching for any intruder and trying to make sure someone is around to watch in awe as he takes down trespassers with his "great" fighting prowess.

Dusktalons often finds himself in arguments with Marquisee and other egotistical cave members about which one of them looks better. Marquisee insists that her dazzling, diamond-like designs make her the superior in appearance, while Dusktalons growls and states his scales can glow on the rare occasion and that they dazzle like the stars at dusk.
