[366 Days of Monsters ] Day 067/366 - Soulscorcher Dragon

Added 2020-03-09 14:00:01 +0000 UTC

During the Hand of the Third, when the Striped Conjurers of Karmithyash conquered nearly all of Omeria and its people, they had only one known weakness: Shred, their fortress at the center of the Obsidian Plain. Shred was the Gateway to the Cruel, the danaavrakt's ultimate source of power. The danaavrakt knew that if the humanoid alliances were to reach Shred and the Cruel, they could stop the fiends once and for all. Thus, the danaavrakt turned to conjuration and transmutation magics to create the soulscorcher, a nigh-unkillable fiendish dragon.

The soulscorcher combines the most ferocious elements of an ancient red dragon with a balor. It exudes fiendish flame that can wither the souls of those who come too close it. And its annihilating breath weapon is capable of instantly destroying any creature it hits; only the greatest warriors of Omeria can withstand the assault.

All who have challenged the soulscorcher have been handidly defeated by the creature. Even the danaavrakt who survived the Conquest of Omeria fear the soulscorcher as its power has continued to evolve over the last four hundred years. Even still, it continues to fulfill its purpose as Shred's immortal gatekeeper.

Immortal Nature. The soulscorcher does not require food, drink, or sleep.
