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.

Most dragons avoid a certain area of Arakiahoga Forest due to an unusual and eerie crackling noise that emanates from a large den in the side of a massive tree. Only a few dragons have fearlessly pressed their faces against a hole in the back of the tree to see what is inside. Their blood will run cold as they view a very disturbing sight- this dragon, BoneMunch, laying upon the rotten leaves and munching upon the bones and decaying flesh of week-old dead dragons.

BoneMunch, a relatively coveted beauty of the Marrow breed, spends her days in her tree munching away on bones. Her sharp teeth have been greatly worn down from her strange habit of munching on bones even after the marrow has been extracted. She can hardly ever been found without bones in her mouth.
