Nocturne Dragons are a strange breed. Whenever light strikes their bodies, they are frozen in whatever position they were in. This leaves them vulnerable and they rely on camouflage to keep themselves safe. They are often mistaken for statues when in this frozen state, but Nocturne dragons do not actually turn into stone. Rather, they merely idle until the sun goes down. At night, these dragons come to life, proving themselves to be powerful fliers, although little else is known about their true behavior.

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.

Noctiss, like Noctram, is a bit bi-polar. When the sun is out and he can't seem to move as he'd like, he comes off as kind and passive, willing to help those who need it if he can.

When the sun disappears and the moon shines high, however, this dragon takes on a more aggressive mask, attacking any males he deems trespassers and hoarding whatever he pleases. It's not surprising that many dragons prefer to meet him during the day.
