Reference Text
Black dragons are among the most vicious and cruel of chromatic dragons. They dwell in swamps, marshes, and other fetid wetlands, where they lair in murky pools and decaying ruins. Black dragon wyrmlings are the young of these terrible creatures, already displaying the cruel intelligence and predatory instincts of their kind. They are fiercely territorial and delight in causing pain and suffering to other creatures. Their acid breath can dissolve flesh and bone, and they use it to hunt and to defend their lairs. Black dragon wyrmlings are solitary hunters, stalking prey from the water or from the air. They are patient and cunning, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They are also highly adaptable, able to survive in a variety of wetland environments. Despite their small size compared to adult dragons, they are formidable opponents for any adventurer who ventures into their domain.
