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.

The daughter of two ruthless predators, this female inherited every bit of her parents' cunning and strength. The downside to this, however, is that hunting has thus become something of a bore; animals fell far too easily into her grasp, making the effort more tedious than entertaining. Yet the same cleverness that rendered her days meaningless was also what gave her a spark of inspiration.

Animals were easy prey, yes... but sentient beings were not.

Heroes, criminals, common folk--all and more she lured into her games, anyone with quick thinking, threatening or enticing as needed to get them to play. Mimicked screams of their loved ones, promises to kill them flat out if they didn't make an effort, colorful descriptions of past kills--all these move her prey, and then she's after them, swift and silent. It can take days, brilliant mind against brilliant mind, but she has yet to lose... and the gruesome squealing of her victims suggests she has once more found pleasure in the hunt.
