Adult Desert Dragon

A desert dragon is a multi-legged, reptilian abomination whose deadly gaze transforms victims into porous stone. With its strong jaws, the creature consumes this stone, which returns to organic form in its gullet.

Adaptable Predators. Desert dragons thrive in arid, temperate, or tropical climates. They lair in caves or other sheltered sites.

Some alchemists are said to know how to process the desert dragon's gullet and the fluids contained within. Properly handled, the gullet produces an oil that can return petrified creatures to flesh and life. Unfortunately for such a victim, any parts lost in stone form remain absent if the creature revives. Revivification using the oil is impossible if a vital part of the petrified creature, such as its head, is detached.
