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.

Skridren Balrog is a very aggressive dragon, always hoarding and greedy to the core. Her part of the cave is littered with gold, cobwebs, and bones with mysterious origins. Dragons have practically no use for gold, yet she always hoards it anyway. Other dragons must be careful around her gleaming treasure or risk a fatal injection of venom. Though her aggressiveness is something that deters other dragons, she does not have a high intellect. Yes, dragons do naturally have a magnificent intelligence and wisdom, but Skridren Balrog can not fit in either category. While some dragons are crafty and can be compared to a fox, Skridren would be compared to a wild boar. She enjoys tearing items to shreds, especially if they were alive. The trees in the forests nearby can be found torn apart and split in half.
