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.

The Iron Thief is deeply invested in the workings of other dragons, an expert at sowing disunion among her sisters and brethren. She'll do anything to get into your relations and plant the seeds of betrayal—as long as it benefits herself, of course. She wouldn't possibly do anything that didn't help herself in some way or another. But even with all her stolen relationships, she still remains as solitary and as independent as she can possibly be, breaking off friendships as soon as they start to interfere with the workings she's set in motion.

Her spat with the Cobalt Seer, or a "mistake," as she calls it, left him alone on the peaks. She doesn't greatly regret it; after all, he was interfering with her plans, and that couldn't happen without some consequence. She still thinks that it would've led to a better life for both him and her if the Seer had stayed, but the way it shapes up now, he was a broken cog in an otherwise working clock.
