Lumina Dragons received their names from their highly reflective scales, which—at times—seem to glow. They are vain, always strutting about and preening incessantly; if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they’ll remove it. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last. These narcissistic dragons live in small groups and prefer to surround themselves with beauty. The females guard their territory and eggs while the males search for vegetation to eat.

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.

As a young hatchling Gemwind would amuse himself by tossing small pebbles into the air and watching them fall back to the ground. He soon got bored with simple tosses and began adding "trick shots" like backflips, twirls, and tail strikes. This behavior was fine when he was on his own, but not so much when he was in the more crowded areas of the cave. After being pelted by airborne pebbles one too many times, the adult dragons began chasing him off whenever he so much as glanced at a small stone. Nowadays he still occasionally indulges in his "game" but knows to do so where he won't hit anyone.
