Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Teacuffs is far more social than her quiet, reclusive mother, Irybi. Many find it hard to believe that the two are related. Teacuffs goes out of her way to make friends and initiate conversations. Her talkative, extroverted nature is endearing rather than bothersome. Fortunately, she does have the good sense to leave alone those who prefer it. Her network of friends is helpful in gaining information about happenings in the cave, and Teacuffs often discovers useful bits of information for her leaders, Teaw and Teax. She is quite a social butterfly, like the insects she loves to snack on.
