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.

Called "Van" by his caretaker, this dragon is laid-back and humorous. He often thinks of jokes to tell while he looks over his scales for the imperfect ones, and then shares them with the hatchlings later. He is friendly and polite as long as one isn't trying to damage his scales, and honest to the point of seeming naive. That apparent naivete, however, does not mean he's a pushover, and he isn't afraid to stand his ground if he feels someone is trying to take advantage of his friendliness.
