Moon Dragons are closely related to Sun Dragons but have evolved for survival at night. These fascinating creatures are strongest when they are allowed to sleep in a well lit spot all day. During the day, the colors and patterns of a Moon Dragon’s scales can appear pale and simple. However, the true beauty of a Moon Dragon can only be seen in the dark.
A Moon Dragon’s scales glow in the dark as a way of scaring away larger predators, like Closet Monsters. The scales will need to “charge” under a bright light before they will glow. Brighter light will help them glow for a longer period of time.

[Moon Dragons have scales that are made with a combination of regular and glow-in-the-dark polymer clay. This technique allows you to see the scale pattern in the dark. Moon Dragon wings are made with a special technique to ensure that they glow in the dark as well.]
