While looking at the dragonkin, Walker understood the changes that had influenced them. Instead of the normal black scales of a dark affinity dragonkin working under Mordant, this dragonkin had a lot of differences. His scales were deep shades of black seemingly darker the more anyone focused on them. There were also claws that were black matching the horns growing from his head.
These more developed features proved that the dragonblood that made a dragonkin different from a simple lizardman was stronger due to the bond with the dark spirit tree. It had spurred advancement and refinement of the body causing these clear physical changes. However, it was the potency of the dark mana around them that made it even clearer.
