Dreadknife Nigrostra (Nigrodraco obscura ferrumala) is a subspecies of Nigrostra introduced in Worldcraft: Moon's Desire. Unlike their relatives, this monster is now an Elder Dragon.
Etymology
Nigrostra names are a combination of words from "negro," which means black in Spanish, and Teostra from the Monster Hunter series, because, however, it was not related to the accident.
Physical Appearance
The subspecies is the same as Nigrostra except for their sported spikes around the wings, waist, and wing pads. Despite being a subspecies, this dragon mutated from the past and actually due to mental issues. According to locals, this animal was associated with Grim Reaper, but all nationals are inaccurately connected with Death God. This creature kills both angels and demons in one swoop at midnight. However, the biologist explained how this dragon turned into an elder dragon.
Abilities
Dreadknife Nigrostra had the same abilities as normal Nigrostra except for the new moves; their tail was very careful. Casting dark energy shoots either a mouth or a tail; this tail stings. Dreadknife Nigrostra can see it, even if it is invisible.
Skills
Gloom Pouch: Nigrostra leaps to the target and releases some black gas after leaping.
Extrajudicial Swing: Nigrostra swings their own tail with a blade to lash out of the circle, dealing with bleeding.
Grim Reaper's Stabber: Nigrostra pokes their bladed tail, dealing sunder and bleeding.
Hacked by Black Saturday: Nigrostra wields black energy from their mouth or tail, causing darkness and horror.
Curfew Hunter: Nigrostra increases all attributes from midnight until dawn, as well as physical and magical damages depending on their bodies. Nigrostra switched from terrestrial to aerial, and vice versa.

Ecology
Nigrostra was a top predator in whole regions without permission. Then hunts without black color/melanism as in case against non-black colored, are only in the following order: voles, ducks, swans, hamsters, stray dogs, chickens, pheasants, wildcats, polecats, minks, macaques, ants, bisons, cattles, sheep, deer, mammoths, elephants, stegosaurus, caecilians, frogs, salamanders, squids, jellyfishes, starfishes, anchovies, dolphins, porpoises, humans (except for Africans, Aeta, Moors, black people, Aboriginals excluding for Arrerntes, Papuans, Melanesians, and Congolese ethnic groups because it was taboo by witches), crocodiles (except for prehistoric crocodilians), and small dragons (except for have black color and/or melanism) as their main prey when non-black color as the coding. Nigrostras were threatened by all Elder Dragons, including Elder Dragon-Level Monsters like Ropen, Akkorokamui, Gaki, Poreskoro, Vritra, Basiliorgos, Kulshedra, and Navagunjara.
Nigrostra hunts alone to find their parents and only finds the mate. Each egg hatched three to five to two weeks ago, incubating for 16 hours without predators. Only hatches are at a mild temperature when the only way to hatch is neither too hot nor too cold, just right for the real temperature up to below 25°C.
This animal was an ancient predatory living killing machine from the Pliocene. All subspecies of Nigrostra except for the one that was mutated from their revenge. Their unnamed family is killed by unknown predators, including humans that store their own vengeance. One dragon, dripping its own tail with lava, was unharmed. Wetted by water and coated with iron particles, they will turn into a knife on their tail. Larger than a normal one and lacks bioluminescent markings on the wings.
Behavior
Nigrostra is a nocturnal, neutral dragon that can only be seen in daylight. However, Nigrostra is extremely aggressive at 12:00 p.m. or during a full moon because they are unaware of the effects of sunlight.
Distribution and Habitat
Dreadknife Nigrostra was found on Earth and in Berbania. Being single is extremely rare. This species breeds in a wide range of temperatures and altitudes, preferring open terrain like farmland where structures serve as nesting places and where adjacent water or dark forest areas are present. In Europe and North America, it is largely a rural species, but it breeds frequently in North Africa and Asia.

Another Nigrostra that kills the criminal for justice is easy to adopt, like feeding them kibble or meat as their pet.
