Carnelian dragons were a type of carnivorous reptilian dragon^[1] native to the planet Carnelion IV. They had four legs, eight blue eyes, red and green skin and an aggressive behavior towards other organisms.^[2] In 29 BBY,^[3] during a mission to investigate a distress signal on Carnelion IV, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Grecker, a resident of the planet, encountered three Carnelian dragons in the Celadon Sea—an icy mountain range filled with poisonous mist that was toxic to humans. Kenobi drew his lightsaber, and, under distress, Grecker fired a flare, only for it to catch the attention of the dragons further. A bystander, Sera, noticed their distress and tried to help. While helping Grecker into a safe building, he threatened Sera at gunpoint to close the door and leave Kenobi for dead, but Sera shot him instead, ultimately saving the Jedi. Sera then exclaimed to Kenobi that^[2] she^[4] saved him from the beasts.^[2]
