Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Ever since his hatchlinghood, Enten has been obsessed with linguistics and the mechanics of telepathy. He has a special place in his heart for tongue-twisters, or, as telepathic beings call them, brain-benders. He is always found mumbling something about standing on a balcony inexplicably mimicking hiccuping, or a girl selling shells by the shore. He even comes up with his own brain-benders, with the scrolls strewn here and there along the walls and floor of his cave. Recently he discovered a very long poem that tests his brain-bending ability, and insists on both mastering and memorizing it. Most dragons don't care that "Seven is right, but so is even, hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen...", so Enten sits alone in his den and mutters away long into the night.
