The Lumina color changing phenomenon is a reaction to the mildy toxic oil, gelatinous goo and oily secretions which Turpentines, Waterhorses and Albinos are respectively covered with. The Luminas remove their scales in order to get rid of the oil or goo, so 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. Luckily, their scales grow back quickly, and each new growth is more beautiful than the last." Bred eggs of a Lumina x Turpentine/Waterhorse/Albino couple are not affected by this and hatch as ordinary Luminas.

| Adult
| - *Lumina dragons become quite affectionate when raised by a human but are quite aloof if gotten later in their life.
*Females guard any eggs obsessively, often licking the egg to keep it clean.
*Luminae live in groups of two to six.
*Breeding with a Turpentine, Waterhorse, Albinos, or other slimy dragon will cause them to shed/pick out their scales.
*Lumina dragons are polite to other species, but often don’t interact with them.

| Habitat
| - All Habitats
- *You can find Luminae nearly everywhere.
*Luminae adapt very quickly to new habitats.
*Personalities differ based on their habitat—coastal and alpine dragons are often more social .
|
| anatomy
| - *Use their rear wings for extra lift and steering making them quick and evasive fliers.
*Can fly for long distances without tiring.
|
| hatchling
| - *Hatchlings are very calm.
*Need to be taught to preen themselves.
*Hatchlings will play but get tired quickly.
*Lumina hatchlings love shiny things and seem to collect them.

| Diet
| - *Hatchlings feed from their parents like parrots.
*If the dragon eats different precious metals, their scale color will change slightly to show different hues. The change isn’t prominent, but can look quite lovely.
*Lumina dragons will turn to fish before other meats.
*When breeding, Lumina have special protein-rich diets.

The exact process surrounding Dark Luminae breeding patterns are still currently unconfirmed (discussion can be joined at the DC Forums). They are known to occasionally produce Light Luminae, and likewise Light Luminae are known to occasionally produce Dark Luminae.
