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 females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

Travis Buttwings, or Travis, is a young Lumina dragon. Found as a hatchling by Glasgow and Charlie Buttwings, he thinks of them as his older brothers and is almost never seen without them. However, he doesn't care nearly as much about his looks than Glasgow and Charlie, and is much more "rugged". He loves the Great Outdoors, and spends a lot of time away on camping trips deep in the forest with his best friend, Antares, going mountain climbing, and going hiking through the forest. However, Scar Vermilion is absolutely terrified of the forest and thinks that it's dangerous, but Travis kind of thinks that he's a little crazy and brushes it off. One night, however, Antares and Travis were camping out in the forest and heard several loud shrieks. Once they returned, Corvy told them that it was "the Rake". Travis didn't believe him, but he doesn't camp out as much anymore, or at least closer to the cave.
