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.

Devon is like most other Bleeding Moon dragons: quiet and solitary. He tends to sit in the corners of the cave to avoid everyone; but when it is warm out, he'll bask in the sun and sit there quietly. He is very moody and aggressive, and isn't liked by his cavemates. The only one who really tolerates him is Rey, whom he allows to pet and scratch him.

On another note, he is very protective of his cave and the dragons within it. If predators such as mountain lions or wild dragons appear out of nowhere, he will not back down from any of them. He takes out enemies quickly with the neuro-toxin in his tail, and has never lost a fight thanks to this nifty evolutionary trait.
