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.

In the ruins of a once-mighty human city stands the crumbling clock tower where Moigak makes his home. The chipping, weathered stone give little hint at the beauty it once held, but to Moigak it has simply taken on a new, wild sort of beauty. His fascination with the tower and the clock are equally limitless. According to local legend, the city was bustling with activity one day and abandoned without reason the next, and that the clock had somehow predicted this years before but had been ignored. Moigak spends every night tracing his claws over the clock's cracked face and hands that will never turn and every day crawling through the rusting gears in desperate search of this prediction. And though he has yet to find it, he is reluctant to give up. What fills his body with energy each day is not passionate interest but deep fear that the clock will make another prediction that will once again be missed; this time of the end of the world.
