The Nameless one is a dragon of myth and legend. As far back as the elves, humans or even dwarves can remember this dragon has been seen by a rare few. As such knowledge on it's appearance is largely unknown and grotesquely exaggerated. Some say this beast is huge, gives no mercy and is blacker than night. Others say the dragon is invisible and never misses.
Some of that is true and some is not. The Nameless one is smaller than legend says. This sleek black dragon is only somewhat larger than a horse. His black scales are as black as night making him nearly invisible at night. Unlike other dragons he had no spikes or horns of any kind and has a much shorter neck. As for age looking to be only a few months old couldn't be farther from the truth, the nameless one is ancient and said to have been the first dragon to come into exsistance.
Despite being a mystery this dragon facial features allow it's emotions to be easily read. With his yellow-ish green eyes filled with wisdom and curiosity. He rarely speaks mentally to anyone instead appearing more feral in communicating only with body language. Some might see this as a lack of intelligence but the Nameless one is far from unintelligent.
In flight his wingspan is unrivaled by any other dragon in proportion to their body ratio at about 50ft, more than twice his body length. His unique build allows him to fly faster, longer and further than almost all other dragons. Due to his wingspan ratio he is the only dragon capable of a vertical take off. And being able to fold his wings tightly against him allows him to excel in speed even while on the ground. Due to size he isn't as strong as larger dragons, but size isn't everything.Personality
and I know it’s hard when you’re falling down. and it’s a long way up when you hit the ground.
get up now, get up, get up now.
If little besides myth is known of the Nameless One then even less is known of his personality. Most stories portray him as a monster of sorts who's only goal is to cause destruction, this couldn't be further from the truth.
While The Nameless One can be quite aggressive when threatened, he is more curious than aggressive. In legend this aggressive behavior is attributed to him being the unholy offspring of lighting and death. When engaged in battle he proves to be a quite formidable and advanced fighter. His small size appears to give him an advantage in fights with larger creatures. As one legend has it Galbatorix himself and Shruikan faced The Nameless One and were forced to flee.
When not threatened or engaged in battle The Nameless once is quite curious and observant. Being very intelligent not much escapes his notice. He doesn't often communicate with thought, as he rarely lets anyone touch his mind. Those who have touched it are said to have gone mad. He usually communicates with body language alone.

Very little is known about The Nameless one in history. A few ledgends mention references to a mysterious beast, possibly the nameless one. The only ones who knew the true history are long forgotten.
In the dawn of the land a single black dragon egg was found deep in Du Weldenvarden. As dragons did not exist at the time no one knew what it was. During a lightening storm the egg hatched and a black dragon emerged, the first in the world to ever be born. Feral and wild he forged for food by himself and attacked any who got to close to him. As time passed the dragon grew but not for as long as modern dragons do, no he stopped growing at only a few months old. Indicating the dragons of old were much smaller than they are today.
Over the years a few people caught sight of him starting the rumors that turned into legends. Only in times of little food would The Nameless one attack towns and when he did it was a massacre. He only attacked at night rendering him nearly invisible against a dark sky. He would rain down acetylene-fueled flames that explode upon impacting and incinerating whatever it struck.
Keeping mostly near the ocean he refeuses to eat anything but fish. When the riders came into power and dragons more numerous he went into hiding driven out by them. For centeries he hid in the spine only venturing out to find food. He watched Cavernhall built but never bothered them or broke his cover. During the fall of the riders he grew more confident and would come out of hiding more often, usually sparking rumors of a rider in the area when it was only a dragon.
