Rumours were of "reapers of death and plague, on four legs, with wings like the devil's and eyes like the red pools of Hell." This could also refer to a chronic dragon but historians are quite sure death dragons were at least partly responsible for the Black Death, not to mention many other terrible illnesses and plagues that struck throughout the ages. The origin of death dragons is unknown but they first began to appear to humans during the time of the Black Death.
