Lumina Dragon

Not to be confused with Dark Lumina Dragons.

Lumina Dragons were released on May 22, 2012, alongside Ultraviolet Dragons and Tsunami Wyverns as part of the "6th Birthday release". They are a cousin breed to Dark Lumina Dragons.

Lumina dragons change color for 24 hours after they are bred to Albino, Black Truffle, Turpentine, or Waterhorse Dragons. The Lumina color changing phenomenon is a reaction to the oily or gooey secretions which these breeds produce. The Luminas remove their scales in order to get rid of the oil or goo, and their color changes to reflect their scaleless body as per their official description: "... if one of their scales has so much as a scratch or a defect, they'll remove it." Bred eggs of shed-inducing couples are not affected by this and hatch as ordinary Luminae.

Light Luminae are capable of breeding Dark Luminae, and likewise Dark Luminae can produce Light Luminae. The odds of breeding a Light Lumina increase as Valkemare's blue moon, Cirion, waxes fuller, while the odds of getting a Dark Lumina increase as it wanes.

Egg
This egg shines brightly in the sunlight.

Hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales.''

Mature hatchling
''Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales.''

''And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.''

Adult
''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.''

Trivia

 * On October 14, 2017, this breed's encyclopedia entry was updated to include the following information under Anatomy and Adult sections respectively:
 * "Luminae pay special attention to their scales, and spend a large amount of their time picking over them and removing less than perfect scales."
 * "The older a dragon gets the shinier it becomes."
