Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Chir'Linga Arulumoryu is the only albino dragon in Moonlight Dragon Clan known to produce a roar instead of the common shriek typical to the breed. However, the practice, which he went through for days, caused him to lose his voice. The roar was the last thing he ever produced through his vocals.

When other dragons were concerned from safety of Chir'Linga Arulumoryu, knowing the importance of a voice, and a fact that he was telepathically both deaf and mute, the dragon agreed to a suggestion of the other members of the clan. A special pair of jingle bells were attached at the base of horns by the clan's caretaker. Since that day, the albino dragon has communicated through chime of the bells, or entertained the younger hatchlings with the sounds of bells.
