Bio: The Nightblood is the most loyal dragon of all, and are extremely territorial. They live in packs. If someone tries to harm a Nightblood, the rest will descend from the sky in a fiery rage and rip them to shreds. Earning this dragon's trust is difficult, but once you have earned it, you are a part of the Nightblood's pack.

Diet: Mostly meat, but will eat fruit occasionally

Trainable: Yes

How to Train a Nightblood: Most dragons love gifts, so bring some food. But do not just waltz into known Nightblood territory, since that will result in you looking like you've been attacked and eaten by a pride of starving lions. Instead, stand near the border and wait for a patrol to fly by, and then get their attention. Don't startle them, or else they might accidentally set you on fire. Offer them the meat, and if they take it and leave, it's a start. They might pick you up and take you to their alpha. Once they do, tell them why you have come there. That may sound weird, but Nightbloods are very good at understanding human gibberish. A Pink Fang might be summoned to check you out, but don't worry about that. You're innocent, hopefully. After that, well, either they accept you or kick you out. The rest is up to fate.

Facts:
 * The first Nightblood was born under a Blood Moon, or a lunar eclipse. The color of their wings come from this.
 * Sometimes, Nightbloods will adopt orphaned dragons into their pack.
 * Nightbloods will usually call on Pink Fangs to check if another who wants to join their pack is trustworthy or not due to the Pink Fang's ability to sense if someone is untrustworthy.
 * Nightbloods are immune to several plants and fungi that are poisonous to most dragons: goblinweed, etheral fern, powderthorn, and lionwart.
 * Nightbloods hardly go anywhere without their pack, so where there's one Nightblood, there's usually a whole pack.
 * The only known cure for getting stung by the Nightblood's tail is Nightblood saliva mixed with its venom. Of course, this means that if the dragon stung you on purpose, you're pretty much dead.
 * Despite their terrifying looks and fearsome attitude, Nightbloods will not kill without reason. So, as long as you don't attack them or become their prey, you will be fine.
 * Nightbloods sleep like bats, hanging from trees or stalactites in caves.
