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.

The other dragons of his cave know Notturno Serenade is full of music, but only when he can't sing it out. He loves to sing through his head, and with his deep voice every now and then. Always looking for inspiration, he'll sing about almost anything. He even makes up little ditties about his cavemates, which some find endearing and others find annoying. Whenever he learns of a bard visiting the town near his cave he either invites the bard to play in the cave, or if the bard is highly skilled pays a nightly visit in order to learn more musical technique.
