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.

Spooky Mask is mischief personified. Loving nothing more than a good startle prank, Spook is one of those dragons that half the Breedery loves and the other half loathes. The more violent beasts have been expressly forbidden to kill her by Lurhstaap himself; she's made herself just that unpopular with her antics. Dragons with a similar sense of humor love her, though. Among her fellow black dragons her renown is mildly positive overall—though not highly respected, she does find ways to use her penchant for ambush and surprise in battle, which is worth a nod from her warrior peers. She's a champion dirty fighter, of course, so few want to spar with her, but when important patrols or battles are at hand, Spook is always invited (albeit a bit grudgingly). At home, most just try to avoid falling for one of her pranks. Slight paranoia has become common at the Breedery since Spook came to live there.
