Blacktip Dragons are a small, shore-dwelling breed that tend to nest on sheer ocean side cliffs. They live in groups under a dominant female, who prevents her subordinates from breeding. During the mating season, a group of Blacktips can be very noisy and smelly indeed; males produce a distinctive musky odor and loud, low-pitched honking noises in an attempt to woo the alpha female.

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.

He's pretty emotionally distant and grumpy for a Blacktip Dragon. Having lost his pack as a hatchling, Crow has no real semblance of how Blacktip Dragon social structure works, and thereby is an outcast from his own breed. His aggressive disposition and pungent odor make him unpopular with other breeds, as well, making him a bitter dragon in general. He does possess some pretty impressive skills in both fishing and aerobics, which he takes a small amount of pride in. Crow doesn't like showing his emotions. He constantly tries to keep up an air of mystery and cynicism around him, with varying degrees of success. He can actually be very easily flustered, especially when approached by boisterous or more bold females, calling on his Blacktip Dragon instincts. He's also a bit too emo for his own good, with it being pretty easy for smarter dragons to see through his facade. Truth be told, Crow is a sweetheart deep down who doesn't want to be seen as feeble, though he's lost a lot in life.
