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.

Lunis is a Bleeding Moon dragon who is a decently-peaceable dragon, mostly interested in doing his own thing outside of the mating season. He often likes gathering flowers to put in a little bag which he's modified to hang on his tail towards the base. While his horns and tail spike are smaller than normal for the species, the rest of his body is towering, which can be particularly intimidating to those who want to talk to him. Not like he minds—he likes solitude.

A good while ago, he found the abandoned egg of a Cassare dragon and, not knowing what the dragon would turn out to be, kept and raised the whelp until it grew enough that others were able to recognize it for him. Now, he's faced with a predicament: he can abandon the dragon who is effectually his son, or he can continue to live on with him and attempt to protect him, regardless of his magic-deadening influence which is almost sure to bring hunters down on the both of them.
