The pattern on this egg’s shell is unsettling.

蛋殼上的花紋混亂不已。

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It skitters around in the shadows, seemingly repelled by light.

噢……是個可愛的龍寶寶呢。牠盤旋在陰影之下，似乎在抗拒著光明。

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It skitters around in the shadows, seemingly repelled by light. And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

噢……是個可愛的龍寶寶呢。牠盤旋在陰影之下，似乎在抗拒著光明。而且你看！牠長出翅膀了。牠肯定快要長大成龍了。

Caligene Dragons have long been considered omens of death—reinforced by the skeletal markings on their bodies. They exert a malignant force on the world around them, causing other living things to slowly waste away in their presence. Caligenes favor the seasons of summer and autumn, disappearing entirely from the forests they inhabit during winter and spring. These malevolent dragons are physically weak, though this is countered by their natural stealthiness and alarming speed—enabling them to close in on large targets quickly and silently to create ambushes from which prey cannot escape.

闇龍長久以來都被視為死亡的預兆──身上的骷髏紋路更加強了這個觀點。牠們會在身週散發有害物質，導致其他生命緩慢地邁向死亡。闇龍喜歡夏季與秋季，而在冬季到春季之時則會從牠們的棲息地森林中完全消失。這些帶有惡意的龍身體虛弱，因為這是牠們天生的隱蔽性跟驚人速度的代價──牠們能夠快無聲息地貼近大型目標，並製造出獵物無法脫逃的伏擊。

※ 作者說他這頭龍的命名起源是「caliginous」這個字，他有「昏暗的、黑暗的」等意思，然後我就讓他煞氣了點（慢）另外作者說這龍有四隻眼睛且厭惡明光（如陽光、火光），所以基本上是夜行性生物。白日除非能待在絕對陰暗的位置（如完全遮蔽日光的厚重棚子下），否則絕不現身。這些龍用身體語言來彼此交流，其中雌性還比雄性高且豐滿些。身上散發的有害物質是精神類的東西，而不是放射性物質。
