"... As once was, all shall be again... Where they once ruled, they shall rule again... When older gods than ours wake to war... With the four Great Ruins as before... Man, Dwarf, Elf and Beast... Shall be but tatters of their Feast..."
- —The Red Book of Strigoi[1a]
A fearsome Magma Dragon[1]
A Magma Dragon is amongst the most malevolent and reclusive subtypes of the Dragon race, with lairs usually found within the volcanic regions of the Known World, the most prominent of which are the Blackspine Mountains in Naggaroth and the volcanic ranges of the Dark Lands.
Primordial and ferocious creatures, Magma Dragons are infamously known for their extremely thick, obsidian scales which radiate a constant glow of white-hot heat. What they lack in numbers, they make up with juggernaut strength and the ability to hunt down some of the largest predators to roam the land.[1a]
On the rare occasions that these Dragons venture out of their volcanic environments, their favoured prey are great beasts such as Manticore and Chimera, but if food is scarce, these Dragons have been known to hunt smaller prey such as Elves and Man, but such prey is thankfully not enough to satiate their vast appetites.[1a]
Once they have found their prey, Magma Dragons have the ability to breathe a sulphurous, poisoned flame that inflicts horrific burns. It is said to be amongst the strongest of all Dragon breaths, blinding and burning the great beasts it normally preys upon before the Magma Dragon begins its feast.[1a]
