Description

-Calm down my beastie… too long you have waited in darkness for my return. The time has come to join again, and turn the scales of destiny…-

This is my entry for the “Contest of Dragons” held by :icondndeviants: and :icondragonartists:

The contest is about designing a completely original dragon in appearance that is based on one of the D&D dragons. So I couldn’t resist re-designing pure darkness! :D I added much personal stuff to it, and below I explain some of the new design ideas and skills, but also the standards I used as a base. Speedpaint (!) in about 20-25 hours during a week. Hope you like it! :la:

Info:
The Black Dragon Lord has a dragonhead of pure mathematical perfection, giving him not only a sacred symbolic meaning but full protection around his head, making it nearly impossible to cause him harm in the most important part of the body. It is said that he is descended from the depths of hell and thus he has some special demonic attributes, which are no usually found on dragons of his kind.

Element: Acid (main element) , Fire (special secondary element)

Elemental Attacks: Acid breath, acid fog, death fog, hell’s fury (special fire attack), acid burn (combined acid and fire special attack)

Special Resistances: Acid 100%, Fire 66,6% , Death magic immunity

Personality:
Black dragons are the most vile tempered and cruel of all chromatic dragons; apart from the fact that they love to bargain. They smell like rotting vegetation and foul water, or like the powerful acid they can breathe.

Black dragons are not noted as very good parents, relying more upon disguise and hiding to protect their eggs than upon guarding them personally. Black dragon eggs must be submerged in strong acid while incubating. Their wyrmlings are noted for their exceptional cruelty and their utterly insatiable appetites. They will eat almost anything organic they can kill, even plants.

Special personality features: The Black Dragon Lord is the vilest of his kind, with his demonic heritage to boost his aggressiveness and making him an unstoppable beast ready to unleash hell. As a Dragon Lord, he considers himself a god among other dragons and likes to be treated like one. He is easily tempted by dark games and tricky bargains, especially if they involve pure souls. ^^

Habitat:
A black dragon typically lairs in a large cave or underground chamber next to a swamp or murky pond. Their lairs always have two entrances: one underwater through the adjacent swamp/pond, and one above-ground, disguised amidst the undergrowth.

Combat:
Black dragons are fierce hunters that will normally attack from the water. In combat, black dragons prefer ambushes to straightforward fighting. They are vicious and ruthless adversaries, and their acidic bile can work its way under the heaviest armor with ease. Their only disadvantage is that their heavily wooded habitats tend to prevent them from flying very high in combat.

Original character :D

Many thanks for faving! :hug: Please comment if you like it! :eager:
