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.

Starlit Umbra was hatched 'neath the light of an eclipse, though the calm light did nothing to stay her chaotic mind. Her flight path is jagged, erratic, utterly unpredictable, and she uses her seemingly random nature to her advantage. Her tenacity knows no bounds when the time comes for the kill. The only male to have bested her in flight goes by the name of Nightmare Swift, a Swallowtailed Dragon, who true to his name, was said to have outraced lightning in a great storm that brought many dragons to the ground for fear of decimation.
