just to be clear, any flight can have one just the dragon themselves needs to have the shadow type ^^
Lore
Dragons of the Ingrained Shadows Subspecies are dragons that have Shadow magic running deep within them and sometimes it escapes in their outward appearance. There are 3 types of Ingrained darkness dragons discovered now, but more may be seen in the future.
Behavior
These dragons have intense Shadow magic running trough their veins, it is often unpredictable and hard to master. They prefer to seclude themselves until their magic is somewhat controllable.
They tend to come off as cold and almost robotic, but they are just restraining themselves.
Variations
The Sublimating Type
Magic manifests upon their bodies as soft smokey patterns or splattered across their skin. Sometimes these patterns do create shadowy smoke that rises from their bodies, creating a dark aura around them.
These dragons are calm and like to engage in social interactions.
The Shattered Type
Magic manifests on their bodies as cracks and sometimes even revealing the energy within.
These dragons especially have trouble with their powers and will seclude themselves more often than the Sublimating Type.
They are more aggressive and less social than their smoky counterparts.
Inscribed Type
The energy of these dragons manifest as runes carved deep within their bodies.
They are much like the Sublimating type, but instead of smoke, it's runes. These dragons are the least intense ones, but they still prefer to remain alone.
Appearance
Usually light colored dragons with streaks of darkness running across their hides or actual ruptures of skin, revealing the potent magic inside them.
They display often simple patterns or have none.
