Dark 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 males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

This foppish dragon considers himself one of the "beautiful dragons" and will only associate with others like himself—those who consider looks and presentation more important than actions or other intentions. If anyone suggests there could be value in his sullying his claws with a task, he immediately finds fault in how they look or sound and roundly embarrasses them.

Dragons who make a significant impact on others generally do not bother with Pouffbal or any of his associates. Because of the superficial nature of his associations, it is hard to say whether Pouffbal has any friends that would be of help should he need it.
