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.

Gorgonos revels in the rush of combat, especially when he has his claws raking across someone else's side.  He enters a bit of a maddened state when fighting, and is known to go out of his way to find battles.  However, he is no killer; though a great warrior-beast he may be, he seeks only the combat itself, not the thrill of the kill.  Death is something he feels may only be dealt out of necessity.
