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.

Killerstrike is a normal black dragon. He prefers to use his talons in a fight, but will use magic if needed. He picks on Dark Green dragons, even though his own father is one, because they're non-mobile and can't reach him from their roost. Killerstrike also enjoys destroying Evil Dragons, one of his more favorite past-times because it won't make him an exile and he gets to show off his skills. He shows off in front of Dragons he knows sometimes, but is timid about meeting others on the social front.
