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.

Ikkan may look like a creature out of the depths of the Underworld, but in reality, she's more hot-headed than evil. She enjoys hunting and fighting, but as a means for survival, not out of the joy of killing. She's also fiercely protective of her cave clan. Mornaug, the cave Elder, often employs Ikkan as a warrior to fight to protect the cave and its inhabitants.
