Black Dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

The Blair Witch is a supposedly ageless Black dragon. Unlike the other dragons, she lives deep in the woods outside her clan's cave. Legend has it that she tricks lost campers using her mind games, such as making the campers hallucinate things that aren't there, making them argue and split up, altering the forest itself so they keep walking in circles, destroying their map, etc. She makes strange models out of sticks, such as what appears to be some kind of dream catcher, which she hangs from trees to scare campers. Deep in the forest, she has a disappearing house whose walls are covered in claw prints from what appear to be young dragons and hatchlings. According to those in Drakeville, a man once went camping in the forest, and went insane and began killing the town's children, supposedly because of the Blair Witch's influence. Of course, this is only a legend, or at least everyone is convinced it is.
