The egg is covered with a thick, bone-like, black shell, dressed in no scales of any kind. The lack of scales, render Black Eggs the most fragile, making them an easy target for both dragons and men. Despite the fact that Black Eggs are not surrounded by metals, men still scavenge for the them, either to exterminate the black vermins or use them in alchemic substances.

Knowing how fragile the eggs are, Black Dragons hide them in a variety of natural caves, either hidden in the natural foliage of the forests or veiled behind waterfalls. Even though the breeding areas of Black Dragons are easily accessible by men and dragons alike, they are always heavily guarded by packs of Black Dragons. Only but the bravest have a chance on acquiring an egg of this type.
