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.

Sotturi's name comes from the Finnish word for "warrior" and she certainly lives up to it. She is a fierce hunter, and often chases down prey for the sport of it. Patience is not one of her virtues, and she easily gets frustrated with those less powerful then her. She is surprisingly fond of younger creatures, and often "donates" her extraneous kills to those less athletic or capable then she.
