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.

Cottusgeit, like Nehebkau, was the only one in his clutch. He is known for his severity and overall seriousness. He is very precise and direct in his movements; not one move is made until he has thought it over. He has a strange preference of older women.<br/>Cottusgeit is named after one of the Hundred-Handed ones of Greek mythology.
