Wither Dragon

Back to Dragons

Wither Dragons have gained a negative reputation, even among their own kind. Hatchlings often find themselves unable to control their powers, harming themselves and others around them unintentionally. This has resulted in many Wither Dragons choosing solitude, more out of necessity than desire. Even once they gain control, they have experienced enough seclusion to become most comfortable with that state.

Color Variants

 

Special Attribute: Aged Appearance. Wither Dragons’ scales are made to last. Though they will shed them as hatchlings and adolescents, the set they have as adults remains. Their skills are very durable, but once lost, they will not regrow. This gives some dragons a tattered and aged look.
