Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

So this dragon thinks he can dance!

This is Rigimel, morbid, gruesome, yet rather friendly excuse for a Black Marrow Dragon. He likes calling everyone 'brother' and invites everyone, clan member or stranger, to parties he throws down at the beach. The food he makes is either barely alive, or rotted beyond recognition.

The parties are thrown to bring all dragons together, though many stranger dragons are killed by the more mistrustful clan members. Eventually, word gets around that this dragon throws mad parties with dancing, bonfires and disgusting corpses for food, but has friends who will murder any and all who look at them weird.

Unfamiliar humans and dragons who do not get eaten from suspicion by the other guests are often subject to music, singing (screeching) and dancing.

It's almost kind of pathetic how much Rigimel loves to dance, and how many parties he throws in a month, or is it admirable...
