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.

Reginalt, while a fairly new dragon of the horde, is by no means an outcast. He's a smooth talker and is very charismatic, and seems to be on the warpath when it comes to quietly making off with the hearts of several of the horde's females. He was found as an egg and hatched into an unusual hatchling, which produced an equally unusual adult--Reginalt is quite different from most of the Black dragons of the horde, with darker coloring, a more svelte shape with less spines, and absolutely nothing that would make him even remotely visible at night. As a result, he tends to be more nocturnal, which suits him just fine. He's not a conniving sort, but does have a healthy mischievous streak, and enjoys setting harmless pranks, much to the exasperation of the Nightwatch sisters who often fall victim to them. He is aware of Rozinraum's infatuation and isn't quite sure what to do about it--he likes her well enough, but is also absolutely terrified of her mother, as he very well should be.
