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.

Benny spent a brief amount of time being dead, before he was resurrected at the urging of a seer. That was when he was a baby, so he doesn't remember any of it. Now grown, he hasn't done any of the four things the oracle said he would do, so she was probably mistaken. He's a member of a motley group of dragons who stick together for safety and try to keep a low profile in the western caves of Mistletoe Mikeopolis. Though fragile and a terrible flier by bleeding moon standards, Benny isn't too shabby among his group. He holds the record for Most Visits to Mike's Medical Center, usually about an illness that he doesn't have or an injury that isn't as severe as he thinks, and the black capped teimarr doctor assigned to him has seen him countless times and knows the ins and outs of his body.
