Skurge Skurge was an ancient female black dragon who laired in the Marsh of Tun . Personality . She was especially intelligent for her kind , knowing not to despoil the area she lived in , but otherwise shared the traits common to other black dragons , being petty , cruel and aggressive . Her advanced age made her irritable due to pain caused by the strain of her own body weight upon her bones and joints but this was tempered by a surprisingly patient nature . Lair . Through many years of magical effort , Skurge built several underwater lairs and ambush spots throughout the Marsh of Tun and when she was not occupying them , they were guarded by lizardfolk servitors drawn from one of the four tribes living in the Marsh , who believed her to be an emissary of Semuanya . At least one of these lairs was a brood chamber where she kept her unhatched offspring . The brood chamber was magically heated and as long as it was occupied by an egg ( about 12 – 18 months every decade ) , Skurge would also live in that lair , leaving only to hunt when she needed to . Relationships . Skurge was a direct descendant of the mighty Thauglorimorgorus , the Black Doom , who once ruled the entire land of Cormyr . Activities . Skurge seemed content to rule over the Marsh of Tun , hunting when she wanted to and mating once a decade with her consort ( an unknown black dragon from Chult ) . The only thing she seemed to put effort into was avoiding the attention of nearby Cormyr . She used magic to disguise herself as another breed of dragon whenever she ranged beyond the Tunlands , usually as a red or green dragon but sometimes , spitefully , as a gold or silver . She would also vary her hunting grounds , attacking south of the Storm Horns between Proskur and Elversult , the Goblin Marches and the farmlands of Cormyr to avoid anyone drawing a link between her and the various dragons attacking these places . As she aged though , her interest in adding to her hoard waned and she returned home not carrying any treasure more often than not .
