Black Dragon, Wyrmling

A Black Dragon Wyrmling is a small, yet menacing creature. Its scales glisten in shades of deep black, reflecting a hint of green in certain lighting. With a slender and serpentine body, it moves swiftly both on land and in water. Its eyes burn with an eerie green glow, radiating an aura of malevolence. The Wyrmling possesses a row of sharp teeth and horn-like projections on its head, giving it a fearsome appearance.

As a young dragon, the Black Dragon Wyrmling already displays its affinity for the destructive element of acid. It can unleash acidic breath that corrodes and disintegrates its foes, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. Though small in size, the Wyrmling is agile and cunning, using its venomous bite and claws to strike swiftly and lethally.

In its lair, the Black Dragon Wyrmling seeks out dark and murky environments, such as underground caves or swampy marshes. It guards its territory fiercely, exhibiting a territorial and possessive nature. The Wyrmling is driven by its primal instincts and a thirst for power, poised to grow into a formidable and ruthless force as it matures into an adult Black Dragon.
