Black Dragon

Acidic Tyrant of the Swamps

Black dragons rule the dismal swamps and decaying wetlands with malice and cunning. Their pitch-black scales, twin curved horns, and acid breath define them. Their corrosive breath dissolves even steel armor instantly. Notoriously cruel and sadistic, they prefer torturing prey slowly rather than killing outright. As amphibious creatures, they nest deep in murky waters and often keep human slaves to maintain elaborate underground lair-mazes within their territories.
