The Lumiviper is a sleek, medium-sized dragon known for its bioluminescent scales that shimmer in shades of blue, green, and purple, resembling the northern lights. Its serpentine body is covered in overlapping scales that are smooth to the touch, providing both agility and durability. The dragon has a pair of large, glowing eyes that allow it to see clearly in the darkest of environments.
Its wings are long and translucent, with intricate vein patterns that light up when it moves. It has a whip-like tail tipped with a cluster of glowing, spiked scales that can emit a dazzling flash to disorient enemies.

Camouflage
Using its bioluminescent scales, the Lumiviper can blend seamlessly into its surroundings by adjusting its glow to mimic the environment, making it nearly invisible in both light and shadow.
Hypnotic Dance
When threatened, the Lumiviper performs a mesmerizing display of glowing patterns across its wings and body, entrancing enemies and giving it an opportunity to escape or strike.
