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.

To anyone who knows about the characteristics of luminas, this male's behavior is quite startling. While most luminas avoid mud like the plague, this one can often be found rolling in it with enthusiasm, getting his scales as filthy as possible. Closer observation, however, reveals the reason for his seemingly unorthodox behavior; the other luminas are so disgusted by his habit that they do all the work of picking his scales off for him, ensuring that their clan mate is worthy to appear in their presence--and thus allowing him to grow an even more beautiful coat of scales without having to do any of the clean up work himself!
