Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

Darkstone isn't an evil dragon, per se, only misunderstood. He is often paranoid and is deeply mistrustful of even his cave-mates, and his owner is the only one who can see through this facade, and knows how sweet he can be. She found him abandoned in the woods as an egg, and raised him with care. He's fiercely protective of her, and spends the nights vigilantly patrolling for perceived enemies. He spends his days trapped by the light wondering where he truly came from and why he was unwanted. Because of that, he's generally in a foul mood, and so the other dragons stay away from him.
