Lumina Dragon

Lumina Dragons were part of the "Happy 6th Birthday" Release, together with the Ultraviolet Dragons and Tsunami Wyverns.

Lumina dragons change color after they got bred to Turpentine dragons. This may be a reaction to the mildy toxic oil the Turpentines are covered with and which burns to the touch and can cause illnesses in anyone who ingests it. And since the Luminas description states that, ''"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." '', their color change could indeed mean, that they remove their scales as a precaution to preserve themselves form any kind of harm.

For now it's not known, if the bred eggs of a Lumina x Turpentine couple are affected by this and will hatch into scaleless/poisoned Luminas.

Official Dragon Description
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."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be picking over its scales. And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."

Hatchling:

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

Egg:

"This egg shines brightly in the sunlight."
