Dragon 376 - MM3 Playtest: The Volcanic Dragon

[kaomera]

I just feel sorry for my players. They are lvl 9 right now, so the elite lvl 8 is not an option. That leaves us with... whoops.

Well I don't see why you can't still use the Young Volcanic Dragon in a level 9 encounter. Add two Flame Snakes, a Magma Strider, and some lava hazards and you have a nice, thematic, and probably tough encounter for (unprepared) level 9 PCs!
