Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to “ripen.” Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents.

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.

Bec hates everything, and that includes herself. She is shockingly violent and likes to rip the limbs off her prey before she kills it. A nomad, she travels by night across deserts and forests, searching for tribes to kill and hatchlings to murder. She considers herself the 'Messiah of Black Marrows' because she is supposedly descended from the murderous winged canine that she named herself after. Her appearance is typical for Black Marrow dragons, besides a scar across her left eye from a particularly engaging fight with a Hellfire Wyvern. She has become practically legendary across the region she tends to stick to, earning her the nickname 'The Angel of Death'.
