Black Tea Dragons have small scent glands on the underside of their wing arm that release a pleasant scent. Though many creatures enjoy being in the vicinity of Black Tea dragons, the scent is intended to draw in swarms of butterflies. Though Black Tea dragons are full sized dragons, these insects are the mainstay of their diet.

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.

Lepidoptattuer loves to study the very insects upon which she feasts. Fascinated by their wing patterns, she has taken to painting them on her scales as a record of what kinds she has eaten. Next to the pictures, she puts a circle (O) around the ones she finds tastiest, a fang (V) under the ones she finds edible but not great, and crosses over (X) the ones she does not like to eat. Observers seeing her hide for the first time wonder at the odd butterfly tic-tac-toe design she seems to favor.
