These dragons are commonly melanic, and usually have heavy pigment and dark scales that help them blend in with the night. Their eyes glow eerily in the dark and they are known to be silent stalkers as well as lone wolves. They are dangerous to trust and typically have ulterior motives. 

Low Frequency / Echolocation - Instead of roaring, umbral dragons have a low frequency growl that shakes smaller prey to the core and helps them navigate in the darkness. Essentially, they use echolocation and noises that are below a human’s range of hearing. 

Shadow Manipulation / Invisibility - By manipulating shadows and using the absence of light to their advantage, umbral dragons can grant themselves invisibility within the darkness as well as negate light absorption to such an intense degree that they bend it altogether. As a dragon gets stronger, they can remain invisible for longer. Though, a dragon cannot mask the noise or scent it gives off when invisible to the naked eye. 

Shadow Tendrils – The ability to manipulate shadows into tangible forms. 

Teleportation - Can use their shadows to teleport short distances anywhere within the range of a mile. 

Black Curse – Next to Ghost elementals, Umbral dragons can cast the strongest curses.
