It is rumored that the Black Dragon [[Apothecaries]] deliberately encourage these growths, wishing to create more of the valued Dragon Claws. This is a very dangerous practice and such gene-manipulation away from the genic template of a [[Space Marine]] is forbidden in the [[Imperium]]. When the usual 5% tithe of [[gene-seed]] is requested, the Black Dragons often resist giving it over, and sometimes have needed to be threatened with military action in order to comply with the tithe request. When they do send it in, the veracity of the gene-seed is unknown, as each passes the most stringent tests; some , therefore , believe that that it is not even the gene-seed of the Black Dragons. How this is procured is a mystery, although the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and some ordos of the [[Inquisition]] are eager to investigate the medical practices of the Cursed Founding chapter.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3a}}

During the [[Indomitus Crusade]], a [[Torchbearer Fleet]] commanded by [[Custodian]] [[Alenxandrios Alezandrios Menza]] delivered the technology necessary to create [[Primaris Space Marine]]s and a squad of Black Dragons [[Greyshields]], injected with the chapter's [[Geneseed]], to the fifth company, which were accepted by chaplain Darrig.{{Fn|16}}
