Resurrection Archdragon
A dragon that has already died and returned wears the grave like a crown, so killing it feels less like victory than a delay.
The resurrection archdragon embodies the cycle of death and return, a dragon that has known the far side of the grave and come back wearing it like a crown. Slaying one feels less like a victory and more like a delay.
