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.

Allarala, despite being one of the clan's elders, is easily one of the most terrifying dragons in the entire clan, her only rivals being the vampires, Asvaris and Xeriantos. Despite this, she is one of the main warriors of the clan, and is well known for being rather merciless when it comes to enemies. Still, she is quite devoted to her life-mate Serivin, despite that they have had only one egg together. As it turns out, she is an excellent mother, patiently teaching her son to be strong, and almost as ruthless as she is in battle. Almost.

While it may seem unexpected, she is actually fantastic at giving out advice, listening to stories patiently. Still, she has no patience what-so-ever for being brainless or falling to self pity, and as such, adamantly hates both Avyssia and Aesia. Allarala calls them, in no uncertain terms, "Complete and utter airheads that are so obsessed with themselves and false fancies that they have become little more than wastes of space, air, and time."
