Crowned Dragon

Wide and powerful, these creatures are more wingspan than body. Wearing an iconic dark crown of multiple horns that stretch upwards around the head, they embody long hidden wisdom, and often appear as dark specters as shadows from above. Most are peaceful towards mortals, but some in the past have been much larger and much more aggressive.
