A dracolich resembles a normal, living dragon at first, but as time goes by, it ages and begins to partially decompose, eventually coming to resemble a corpse. Despite its wretched appearance, a dracolich is a very powerful opponent with a correspondingly high challenge rating, due in part to the minions and weapons they tend to possess. Evil chromatic dragons like black, blue and red dragons usually become dracoliches, because of the evil magic involved in their creation; however, rumors spread about other kinds of dragons submitting to the process as well. Instinct: To create undead.

Description
>A hulking monster approaches it's covered in deep red scales. Massive crablike claws snap shot menacingly as it struts forward. Its fang filled mouth opens and closes gulping in air.

>You strike at the beast, but the thick plates on its body prevent you from landing a substantial blow.
