Black Marrow Dragon

Black Marrows, also known as Halloween 2010 Dragons (by scroll sort), were released on October 31, 2010 without a limit of their number per scroll. Black Marrows are able to breed with dragons other than Drakes, Pygmies, and Two-Headed dragons. They also can breed with their own kind and other Holiday Dragons. However, they could not breed with their own kind before Halloween 2011. They are only breedable during Halloween.

Due to the hype of this release the Lagmonster attacked once again. Many users stated during the release that, because of the lag, they didn't even stand a chance to catch an egg. Because of this and the lag, TJ09 for the first time added a second row of eggs on the site during a release. There were at least six known adult Black Marrows, who had no specific gender. In the beginning it was not clear whether they remain ungendered or would be replaced with a gendered adult. However by now all concerned Marrows were replaced with gender-specific adults.

Adult
"Black Marrows are named for their dark colored hides which are encased in a distinct exoskeleton. Their skull and the top edges of their spine push out from under the skin as they age. As such, their young need excessive amounts of calcium for this armor to develop. The older a Black Marrow dragon is, the more skeletal their appearance. They often use their skeletal looks to lure in foolish scavengers or terrify predators. These vicious dragons love nothing more than to crack open bones with their stony beaks and eat the marrow inside. Voracious scavengers, Black Marrows will swarm and devour corpses both old and fresh, sometimes even dragging larger finds to the water to allow them to "ripen". Despite their dreadful demeanour and often horrid stench, Black Marrows are devoted mates and parents."

Mature Hatchling
"This hatchling could hardly be considered cute. Look it has grown wings! At least it isn't quite as naked-looking anymore."
