Whisper Archdragon
This dragon opens most fights by quieting every enemy it can see rather than attacking, and breaks its own spell the instant it turns hostile.
A whisper archdragon is a serpent of secrets and persuasion, more likely to talk a battlefield into stillness than to burn it. Its voice slips into the ear at the worst moment, turning aggression to doubt.
