Name: Dracolich Rank: C+ Genus: Undead (Undead Dragon) Attribute: Undead Traits: High Undead, Pseudo-Dragon, Spellbound Undead
Description:
The Dracolich. One of the most iconic undead dragons and a dragon slayer's worst nightmare.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
This type of undead is one of the worst ends a dragon can reach. Any type of dragon-type undead can obtain this state, but that does not make the Dracolich any weaker. Their traits include that of the Lich, granting the mighty force of the dragon the magical expertise of the undead mage.
A single Dracolich can easily destroy several villages. For normal humans to defeat one, an army of their best men will be needed. However, this mostly comes from the dragon's experience, so new "born" Dracoliches, or those who live in Dungeons, are relatively easier to defeat. If one discovers a wild Dracolich, however, immediately report it to the nearest authorities.
Appearance:
A Dracolich's appearance is close to that of a hybrid between a Skeleton Dragon and a Zombie Dragon, with a touch of a Ghost Dragon. Imagine a skeletal dragon that has pieces of rotten flesh still on its bones, then add some ghastly glow to the whole thing, with two ghostly fireballs as eyes, then you have your Dracolich.
Abilities:
Danger rank: C+
Rarity rank: B-
Dracoliches are extremely dangerous undead. They possess the might of a dragon, reinforced by the magical expertise of a Lich, then the natural durability of an undead is used to top things off.
As a side-effect of its Lich constitution, the Dracolich is physically weaker than other undead dragons. It makes up for this by keeping enhancement spells running on itself, kicking its power to above the level of even elemental dragons, who are said to be the strongest of the C-rank monsters. On the other hand, if the Dracolich has no idea how to use its magical abilities, it is a sitting duck, almost as weak as a D-rank creature.
Garami's comment: Right. Dungeon monsters aren't exactly the type that gets the chance to study magic...
Filyn's comment: Wha-hahaha! Dracoliches goes boom~!
