Mature Black Dragon

Black Dragons are known for their cunning and sadistic nature, their appearance betraying these qualities. They have black scales tinged with sickly grey and green, and narrow, boney faces with many jagged horns that always appear to be aimed at whomever they are speaking to. As they grow older, the hide stretches taught over their skulls, giving them a somewhat sinister, skeletal appearance. Much like the Acid and Disease they spew forth on to their enemies, Black Dragons have vitriolic personalities and seek to spread their filth over the bogs and swamps they prefer to inhabit. Their mastery over the lands they claim allows them to command the bog itself to attack their prey, trapping them in sludge while the dragon tears them to pieces. While Black Dragons have a reputation for being extremely cruel and ornery, they sometimes like to capture and question humanoids before they kill them. Doing this allows them to learn the location of stockpiles of wealth that they may later claim for themselves. As Black Dragons live out in dark, relatively remote areas that others do not desire to tread, they have learned to hoard treasure through more proactive methods, and on occasion even recruit worshippers or enslaved adventurers to venture out and gather treasure for them.
