When some highly magical and intelligent dragons die they become death
dragons. These creatures are so powerful that, although their spirit
rises to a greater plane of existence, their dead and rotting bodies
remain strong and powerful. The death dragons search for treasure,
which they feed on. When a death dragon comes upon any sort of
treasure it begins to absorb the magic and valuables into its bone
structure. Ancient death dragons have been described as magnificent
glistening creatures because of the assimilated treasure. These
creatures will attack any dragons in proximity, with a blind and
cunning rate. They seem to
instinctively sense the presence of members of the erstwhile kin.
When the death dragon has the choice of more than one target, it will
always attack the strongest opponent first.
Death dragons roam the earth for 14 days every century. During this
time they are searching for several large hordes of treasure. They
will often stop to talk to evil creatures to gain information on where
such treasures might be. When they are not roaming, they can always be
found resting on huge veins of silver or gold. These veins will be
slowly absorbed during the century the dragon is resting. If the
dragon is disturbed it will destroy whomever awakened it and then go
on a 30 day period of roaming.
Because of their magical nature, death dragons are excellent in their
turning and climbing prowess - comparable to the gold dragon. They are
also very fast, and can only be outrun by the magnificent golds.
