Dark 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 males guard their territory and eggs while the females search for meat to eat. Dark Lumina Dragons are much meaner than their cousins.

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.

This dragon sticks to an exact regimen every day, as closely as she can:

- First she polishes her scales, teeth, and claws.

- Next, she inspects every inch of herself for any kind of smudges or scratch, removing any offending parts she finds.

- Once satisfied with her appearance, she struts outside to accept compliments.

- Within a half an hour she is off to hunt, preferably bringing back a wild boar or brace of conies to eat.

- Meal preparation and consumption are done with constant preening to keep herself spotless.

- After eating, she will spend the rest of the day listening to the daily gossip while further polishing her scales.

- In the evening, she heads to sleep precisely when three stars are first visible in the sky.

If all goes according to plan, she is generally congenial. If someone disrupts her schedule or insults how she looks, she becomes angry and disgruntled for the rest of the day, snapping at any who approach her.
