The red dragon is the most feared of the scaled tyrants, a vast horned reptile clad in scales that shade from bright scarlet in youth to a dull, metal-hard crimson with age. It claims high hills and smoking peaks, surveying its domain from a lofty perch and hoarding every coin and gem it can seize. Vain, greedy and supremely confident, it reckons itself superior to all other living things. In the world it stands as an apex threat: a flying engine of fire that can level a caravan, raze a steading, or extort tribute from whole valleys. Slaying one is a campaign-defining feat, yielding fire-proof scale, alchemical glands, and a lifetime's plundered treasure.
Behavior
- Flies and walks; perches on heights to watch its territory
- Makes a snap decision to attack, landing to claw and bite weaker prey
- Unleashes its fire breath on armed bands before closing to melee
- Hoards treasure obsessively and recalls its inventory exactly
- Solitary; tolerates no rivals and drives off its own grown young
Abilities
- Fire Breath. Exhales a searing cone of flame that engulfs all in its path; a partial dodge halves the damage.
- Fire Immunity. Utterly unharmed by flame and heat, natural or magical.
- Innate Sorcery. Older dragons wield spell-like powers, kindling fires, swaying minds, searing metal.
- Flight. Broad wings carry its bulk swiftly over hill and mountain.
- Fear Aura. Its sheer presence can root the weak-willed in terror.
