Ancient Diabolic Dragon
A dragon born as a living extension of Hell channels infernal rancor back into anyone who lands a solid blow, overwhelming their mind.
Hell, according to some theologians, is a living entity in and of itself. Diabolic dragons, these scholars argue, are just extensions of the plane, living creatures that break off from Hell to enact its will.
