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.

Murky Mort is one of the oldest dragons in the pride, tied with Magi. Now older and frailer, she cannot fight as well as she could when she was young and is bitter because of it. In her youth she was a fearsome fighter and the defender of the cave. She considered Magi her brother and he is the only one that sees through her sulky demeanor. Nowadays she skulks around the dark spots in the cave, only willing to talk to other dragons if she can brag about her glory days.
