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.

In her opinion she had a wonderful sense of humor. A talented killer, she often found herself with more boneless bodies than she knew what to do with, until the lovely day on which she discovered a new hobby. Already glutted on meat, and with the extra bones stored safely away, she had no appetite for all that extra flesh, so soon to rot--but where she had once seen waste she now saw the potential for BEAUTY! Rigging up the corpses in elaborate displays, she began charging others for their visits to her little house of horrors, the stupid patrons never realizing that her 'dummies' were a bit more real than that. Well, MOST never realized, anyway--and those few who did soon found themselves becoming a somewhat more permanent part of the attraction.
