Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Moonbane is a very peculiar dragon. Any light hurts his sensitive eyes, so he stays in his cave a vast majority of the time. He only leaves the cave on the night of the new moon, when the forest is darkest. His pale form has occasionally been spotted by humans, who soon realized that they only see the strange albino dragon on nights with no moon. They began calling him Moonbane, and some believe that he is the incarnation of the moon itself and the very reason it does not reside in the sky on those dark nights.
