Young Despair Dragon
A dragon compelled to spread terror feeds on the fear it inflicts, gaining strength each time a victim's dread finally breaks.
Fear is one of the most powerful emotions, and despair dragons are masters of channeling those feelings of terror and hopelessness for their own benefit. As with other occult dragons, despair dragons are driven by an innate compulsion, in their case, the desire to strike terror in others.
