The Nightshade family is extremely diverse. Some of the Nightshade plants are very toxic (Mandrake and Bellandonna) and some are a staple food around the world and not toxic at all (potato and tomato plants), and the pepper genus contains all the spicy peppers like jalapeno and habanero. Tobacco and Petunia plants also fall inside the Nightshade Family; biological name: Solanaceae.

The Nightshade Dragon is most likely modeled after the Belladonna plant, most commonly known as "Deadly Nightshade" for it's highly toxic berries.
