Skiadrum

Skiadrum also known as the Shadow Dragon was the adopted father of Rogue Cheney before being killed by Acnologia.

​Appearance
Skiadrum, like other Dragons, is a gargantuan quadrupedal beast, however unlike most other Dragons, he is covered in pitch-black scales; atop his head, Skiadrum has two sharp horns and sports a small, pointed beard of shadows on his chin.

Skiadrum has no visible pupils, and his eyes instead bare a great resemblance to Gajeel Redfox's own when the man enters Iron Shadow Dragon Mode.

Between his horns and running down his spine, Skiadrum has a mane of shadows; his wings are covered in the same material.

Because of the shadows his body is composed of, Skiadrum has a constant stream of shadows being emitted from his head, wings, spine and tail.

​Personality
Skiadrum was kind enough to take in a young Rogue Cheney and raise the boy as if he was his own son, and taught the boy how to use his own variation of Dragon Slayer Magic.

However, upon revealing that he used Magic to change Rogue's memories of his disappearance into ones of him being sick and dying, Skiadrum shows himself as more of a figure who is willing to do what is necessary.

Though, on that same note, Skiadrum also did it to protect Rogue and give him the memory and results of what would've happened had he actually killed him, showing that even though he tampered with Rogue's memories and instilled a false sense of confidence and sorrow, Skiadrum loves the boy.

​Magical Power

 * Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic: Skiadrum can use his unique Magic to turn his body into shadows, which allows him to move at even greater speeds and with greater precision and power. Additionally, Skiadrum taught Rogue how to use his specialty Magic.
 * Memory Control: Skiadrum has the ability to manipulate the memories of humans at will, and did so to completely rewrite the events of his disappearance in Rogue's mind. However, it was noted that Igneel was completely against it using said Magic on his own child.
 * Dragon Soul Technique: Skiadrum uses this ability to conceal his soul and Magic Power inside the body of his foster son Rogue, which preserved his life force as well as provided antibodies for the Dragon Slayer to prevent the process of Dragonification. This ability was also used for Skiadrum to be able to travel four hundred years into the future.
 * Flight: Being a Dragon, Skiadrum possesses the ability to fly through the air using his wings.
 * Immense Strength: Merely by ramming into them with his body, Skiadrum was able to destroy numerous Face bombs all in one go. This strength, however, pales in comparison to Skiadrum's original strength before his soul was taken by Acnologia.
