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.

Ming acts as a sort of scout for Damian's Crater Clan in the battle against the Island Clan. Her highly reflective scales are capable of picking up even tiny sources of light and amplifying their brightness, allowing her to illuminate the darkness quite easily. This is an invaluable ability in the dark tunnels that connect the Island to the Crater. Ming herself has some misgivings about Wu, the Black-Capped Teimarr ruler of the Crater Clan, but the security he provides is comforting enough to drive away any thoughts of fleeing to the Island. On moonlit nights, she enjoys entertaining her clanmates with brilliant light shows by reflecting the blue and gold light of Valkemare's moons off of her scales.
