Night Dragon

Night Dragon

Description:

Night Dragons are the reanimated spirits of dead Dragons, who through some act of malignant magic have secured themselves a place in Undeath. These terrible beasts are engines of wanton destruction, delighting in the sheer terror their very presence causes lesser beings. Night Dragons appear as they did in life, except they are in a state of continual decomposition - rotting from within in a slow, maddening spiral of dark oblivion. Thus, Night Dragons actually become less powerful in many aspects as they progress in levels.
