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.

AVN Flu is the best fighter around, knowing human martial arts as well as powerful magic, but he rarely can show off his skills because he is such a staunch pacifist. He once was able to save a group of hatchlings from a dark green dragon without so much as a scratch to him or the hatchlings. He is the most intelligent dragon anyone has ever met, able to solve the most complex puzzles in a matter of minutes. Other dragons ask for his help, and he answers to everyone who goes to him. AVN Flu can swim, fly, heal, and generally survive in environments better than breeds specialized in those skills. He also has the severest case of mythomania that his family and clanmates have ever observed; everything he says about himself is a big fat lie, and no matter how far-fetched the story, he won't ever admit he's lying.
