A dark cloud dragon lives its life in the air. They are hatched usually at the tops of mountains or tall towers and can fly within moments of birth. Unlike most dragons they can fly with utmost ease, even keeping it up when sleeping. Light sleepers they only half sleep more like fish (or dolphins) than men.

Physically they are of a lighter build than other dragons of their general size with thinner bodies and larger wings. Their legs, and claws, are short and stunted with ill-used muscles, but they make up for this with a un-dragon-like agility and speed. Their scales are a dull grey at birth with soft pale blue eyes but both darken as they age until they have angry storm cloud black scales and dark night blue eyes. Their heads are sharply pointed with few horns or ridges but long whisker-like hairs come from the front of their faces giving them a somewhat catfish-esque appearance. Their tales are long and narrow as they go along, and their chests are actually quite well developed in contrast with all their other muscles. They eat more than is normal for dragons of their size, spending so much time in flight putting extra drains on their metabolism, and get most of their water from clouds. They can fly faster and higher than almost any other race of dragons.
