[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6184485, member: 57383"] Let's see... [I]A horrifying undead humanoid, little more than a skeleton held together by rotting flesh. Lifeless eyes peer from the sockets of its skull-like face. Its weapons and armor glow with a supernatural light and are decorated with a dragon-scale design and images of dragons or draconic body parts bearing appalling wounds.[/I] Undead dragon slayers are creatures animated by an unquenchable urge to kill dragons. Most are created by evil dragon-fighting cults, but a few have dragged themselves back from the dead through their undying hatred of dragonkind. Those undead dragon slayers created by necromantic rites must obey the spellcasters who ushered them into unlife. These undead are at least as intelligent and powerful as they were in life and have additional supernatural powers tuned to slaughtering dragons. Killing dragons gives an undead dragon slayer the energy to maintain its unnatural existence, and they fall back into death if this energy runs out (as detailed in their Draconic Slaughter). Undead dragon slayers tend to hunt in well-coordinated teams with other undead, the better to overcome their powerful dragon prey. As well as other undead dragon slayers, they often fight alongside skeletal warriors; often the reanimated "lesser heroes" of a dragon-fighting cult. Ironically, they also associate with undead dragons, as their lust to kill only applies to [I]living[/I] dragons. Some undead dragon slayers derive perverse amusement from turning a dragon they have slain into a dracolich or zombie and using this undead slave to slay that dragon's kin. A typical undead dragon slayer stands 6 to 7 feet tall and weighs about 250 pounds. They can speak whatever languages they knew in life, which usually includes Common and Draconic. [/QUOTE]
