Scientific name: Draconia noctis

Disregarding its miniscule size and reputation as a common pest, the Darkwyrm shares many characteristics with its draconic ancestors. Mainly: its reptilian appearance, wings, and hoarding tendencies. Darkwyrms will only hoard one specific type of item for the entirely of their lives. These collections are seemingly random, ranging from coins to bird feathers to left socks. They are extremely territorial of their hoards, and as such are mostly solitary creatures. When they find a potential mating partner, the pursuer will bring an offering from their hoard to their interest as a sign of loyalty. The reciever will choose their mate based on the offering which pleases them most.

The darkwyrm’s name is derived from its pitch-black appearance, which makes it an excellent nighttime predator. The next time you hear a bump in the night, do not be alarmed: It is merely a darkwyrm searching your home for a new addition to its hoard.
