Dragon

Category: Sentient Magical Beast / Draconic

Description

Massive, ancient, winged reptilian apex predators covered in incredibly dense scales. Unlike their smaller cousins, the drakes, true dragons are solitary and immensely powerful.

Abilities

Dragons possess devastating breath weapons, physical might capable of leveling cities, and massive internal mana reserves. Their most terrifying trait is their near-total immunity to targeted magic.

Lore

Highly intelligent, notoriously arrogant, and deeply greedy, dragons are solitary creatures that hoard wealth. They are considered walking natural disasters. Notable dragons include Oganj—a legendary threat capable of fighting off entire armies—and Violeteye.
