Black Dragon

The dragon was everything Zorin had seen in a nightmare. Its twin horns pointed forward and down its skeletal snout. Green smoking acid dripped from its maw as it drooled looking at the people running from it in the square.
~S1E3 - A Dark Reunion

Black Dragons generally prefer the Swamps of the Dead Lands and some lost ruins within more warm or tropical regions. This doesn't mean they don't exist anywhere else but this is what they prefer due to the high volumes of water they consume to combat the dripping caustic bile of their natural breath weapon.
Famous members are Ebon the partner and mount of Squib the Crusher in Lord Pallus' Dark Army
