Bleeding Moon Dragons are mostly nocturnal creatures. When outside in the sun, the small red spatters on their back grow and spread, making the dragons appear to “bleed.” It is said that the darker the shade of red, the more aggressive the dragon. Their tail barbs contain a powerful neuro-toxin which they use to subdue their prey. They are solitary creatures except when mating, preferring to dwell in the caves in mountains or other high places. Their large wingspan makes them fast flyers as well as fast runners, but they prefer to glide instead. Males are very competitive and will try almost everything to impress females, who will choose their mates based on speed and performance. Juveniles tend to form bachelor groups once fledged.

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.

Sampson Bloodmoon is a member of the Bloodmoon Clan, a group of Bleeding Moon Dragons that live and hunt together with the idea that a group is better than a single dragon. Sampson is a very aggressive dragon, one who counts success as teeth he has knocked out over friends he had made. He uses the offensive gifts nature gave him to his full advantage. Looking for fights just to win them. He is a necessary evil in the Bloodmoon Clan, to defend the fellow members. He also needs them too, for a Dragon who bites into something too big alone is less likely to succeed then one with a family. They say no one could calm his cold and harsh heart, but that is yet to be seen.
