Sovereign Archdragon
A dragon that rules by sheer force of will counterspells mental effects turned on it and answers a critical hit with a retaliatory strike.
The sovereign archdragon rules by sheer force of will, a regal tyrant whose mind is as armored as its scales. It expects obedience, and it punishes the impertinence of a critical hit as readily as the impertinence of a spell.
The dragon has +1 status to all saves vs. magic.
