Black Dragons are cruel and vile creatures, more slender than the rest of their kind. Apart from black scales, which can turn almost purple at a very old age, they are recognized by their horns which protrude forward, along their gaunt face and jaw.

Living in swamps and marshlands, Black Dragons are strong, though they prefer ambush over direct fighting. When needed, they can release a jet of highly corrosive acid from their mouth which quickly eats through pretty much anything it lands on.

They are dangerous and ruthless, and they often have names of their own, using them to strike terror into hearts. Some good black dragons names are Alglaudyx, Boglarmanthor, Nizidramanii’yt, Ueurwen, and Voaraghamanthar.
