Nebula Dragons are nocturnal creatures. With the best eyesight to be found, they are often seen staring into space. Each dragon tends to observe a particular nebula and will eventually change their colors and patterns to match it. As the nebula changes over time, the dragon changes with it. The more intricate the design of the nebula, the better chance an individual has of attracting a mate. It is said that the markings on no two Nebula Dragons will be exactly the same.

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.

She looks to the stars and dreams of far-off worlds, longing to find one...and rule it.

Fathered by a passing Nebula, Dark Samus was the desperate product of two dragons who were unable to breed their own children. She knew from the start she was only the second-best thing they could have, looking nothing like her Snow Angel mother or Sweetling 'father'. This was what drove her out of the ApSci canyons the moment she could fly, and for decades she wandered, trying to find a place in the world, never even looking at the sky for a pattern to call her own.

During her travels, she learned of a famed Guardian- Samus Aran. She followed every tale of her exploits, and before long, began picking fights in an attempt to be like her heroine. This wasn't enough, and as the years passed, she became a tyrant; invading cities (14 to date) with allies she had overpowered or charmed into working with her, devouring any who would not accept her as their unquestioned queen.
