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.

He Ate The Sun has an interesting story behind his name. One day, he was enjoying playing with his food before he ate. He tossed an orange high up into the sky, then flew up to catch it in the air. The dragons gathered below saw the orange eclipse the sun for a moment, just before he swallowed it whole. Now his original name has been forgotten, as the other dragons whisper to each other, "Don't you remember him—he ate the sun!"
