Soulscorcher Dragon

Description
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 combined the most ferocious elements of an ancient red dragon with a balor. It exuded fiendish flame that could wither the souls of those who came too close it. And its annihilating breath weapon was capable of instantly destroying any creature it hit; only the greatest warriors of Omeria could withstand the assault.

All who challenged the soulscorcher were handily defeated by the creature. Even the danaavrakt who survived the Conquest of Omeria feared the soulscorcher as its power continued to evolve through the end of the age. It continued to fulfill its purpose as Shred's immortal gatekeeper.

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