Just looking at the fluff in this preview, we know the following:

A Bonemongrel Dracolich is an unwilling undead created from the remains of several dragons.

They are compelled by the ritual that created them tom serve thier masters, and even though they hate thier existance the ritual prevents them from harming themselves, although it doesn't compell them to flee if they are in danger.

Thier phylactory is built into thier skeletal structure.

WHat moe do you really need? As shown above by Asmor and myself, this is more than enough fluff to create interesting encounters and even adventures.

Here is another idea that I have from reading this preview:

Bonemongrels are often used by the Cult of the Dragon as guardians. These bonemongrels are usualy created from the remains of dragons who refused the gift of lichdom, or failed or betrayed the cult in some way.
