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.

One of the darker, creepier dragons in the clan, this dragon is feared and avoided by all of her clanmates. She has an aura of blood and madness about her, and more than one suspicious coincidence has led many others to quietly hypothesize about her connections to a string of murders in the nearby human towns. Corpses of humans, from all ages and creeds, are found on a monthly basis with one distinctive trait: all have had their eyebrows roughly cut off by what seems to be a rough blade—or claws. While the human towns remain befuddled and shocked at the strange states of the bodies, the nearby dragons mutter rumors to each other about what this Bleeding Moon does in her isolated cave. A few adventurous individuals have snuck near her lair and reported seeing the female weaving long, thin ropes of what seems to be hair together, brandishing the results like a whip and cackling evilly. But that's ridiculous, some argue. What would a dragon do with a whip made of human eyebrows...
