History

Exile, rampage, and taming

Little Blackie was expelled from its nest by its mother, the Black-Winged Tyrant, at least decades before Zong Shen learned of its past. The Black-Winged Tyrant was already a genuine Lord Dragon with a large host of followers and servants. 613

Known as Black Handsome, Little Blackie ravaged the Poison Mist Swamp, killing hundreds of lords and thousands of soldiers before Zong Shen, Gugat, and Lasma brought it down. Zong Shen used a Rare Grade Pet Contract to heal it, renamed it Little Blackie, and established their master-pet relationship. 605 610

Its initial Loyalty was unstable. Zong Shen's intimidation reduced it to 52, while acknowledging its fixation on recovering its stolen treasure and confronting the Black-Winged Tyrant raised it to 56. 610 619

Service under Zong Shen

Little Blackie became Zong Shen's principal flying mount and an important combatant. It coordinated with him against the Goblin King, dodged the first [Wrath of the Evil God] bolt on instinct, attacked the goblin forces with Claw Rend and Tail Sweep, and restrained enemies with Hex Entanglement. 647

Zong Shen later rewarded it with the Rastok Dreadnought's Mount Armor, Demon Dragon Spiked Helm, and Flower of Tiamat. The transformation caused Little Blackie to pledge wholehearted loyalty and elevated it into the Old Dragon Stage. 991

After its Loyalty reached its maximum, it independently subdued five follower groups: a Mutant Kobold tribe, a Draconian tribe, two Battle Lizardman tribes, and a Wyvern nest. 1076 1115

Becoming a Lord Dragon

After witnessing Zong Shen's battle against the Raven God's will, Little Blackie sought greater strength and accepted Zong Shen's proposal that it become a Lord Dragon. It swore to serve as Zong Shen's “blade for opening new lands and expanding” his territory. 1283

Zong Shen formally released Little Blackie to establish its own domain, providing survival supplies and allowing it to take 300 elite half-dragon followers for the initial settlement. 1342 1343

Little Blackie established Black Scale Marsh, subduing nearby monster lords, extracting monthly tribute from a stone fortress city-state, and building a force numbering in the hundreds of thousands. 1820

Scorching Rift campaign

Little Blackie launched a surprise invasion of Scorching Rift before the red dragons' Lava Legion could assemble. Its attack forced Flame Lord Alexstrasza · Song of Blazing Flame to assume her true form. 1825 1826

Empowered by the Chaos God's Favor, Little Blackie defeated Alexstrasza in a duel. She swore fealty under a Dragon Soul Oath, and Little Blackie later named her his spouse and deputy, assigning her command over the reorganized red dragon forces. 1829 1834

After taking Scorching Rift, Little Blackie prepared to move against the green evil dragon Ogg Borkaiser Valeria. It subsequently confronted both Ogg and the Black-Winged Tyrant, demanding their submission and challenging their former authority over it. 1831 1834 1840

Appearance

In dragon form, Little Blackie is a massive black dragon with matte scales, pronounced bony spikes, a heavily muscled body, and yellow-brown vertical pupils. Following its ancestral awakening, it measured approximately 17 meters long with a wingspan of 30 to 40 meters. 991

• Jet-black scales capable of deflecting attacks that lack sufficient damage to penetrate its defense. 1032
• Enlarged dorsal and cranial spikes, plus curved scimitar-like blades growing from its tail after consuming the Flower of Tiamat. 991
• Can assume the form of a pale, handsome young noble. 1076 1150
• Can partially transform while humanoid, producing black wings, purple-black arm scales, and dragon claws. 1198
• Wears the adaptive Rastok Dreadnought's Mount Armor and an adjustable Demon Dragon Spiked Helm in dragon form. 991

Personality

Little Blackie initially displayed the greed, brutality, pride, and racial prejudice associated with chromatic dragons. It resisted Zong Shen's authority, resented the loss of its treasure, and preferred sleeping in foul, damp swamps over living in a clean, dry human territory. 610 619 926

It is ambitious and highly conscious of strength. Seeing Zong Shen confront godlike foes made it dissatisfied with merely being powerful by dragon standards; this desire drove it to pursue the role of a Lord Dragon. 1283

Under Zong Shen's guidance, Little Blackie became obedient, capable of coordinated combat, and increasingly pragmatic as a ruler. It maintains draconic aggression toward opponents, but demonstrates planning, resource management, military organization, and concern for the stability of its followers. 1076 1821 1834

Abilities & Skills

Dragon Might

• Dragon Roar — Enhances Dragon Might for one minute and grants allies 15% increased attack power and attack speed for three minutes; 15-minute cooldown. 610
• Uses Dragon Might to intimidate, subdue, and discipline Kobolds, Dragonkin, Wyverns, and other potential followers. 1115 1820

Ancestral Bloodline

Territory

Black Scale Marsh

Little Blackie's swamp domain is built around a central nest-fortress and is populated mainly by half-dragonfolk, Dragon Blood Lizardmen, marsh Kobolds, harpies, Wyverns, and other dragonkin. It is deliberately maintained as a humid, foul-smelling marsh environment suited to a black dragon. 1820 1822
