Hellbore Dragon

"Run! The abyss comes with it's laughter! Run!" - Medic accounts from survivors of a Hellbore Assault

Whereas Casavali and Infernal Dragons cover two dark pits of the world, Hellbore's encompass the last great evil. Born from the chaos and ever-hungering blackness of the Abyssal Plane, these creatures are malformed and twisted abominations that hold some of the strongest scales and darkest appetites for destruction and violence the world over.
