"Writhing, sickly, pale things that descend from great heights on cloudy days, they are an abomination. Civilization should not allow such devestation to exist any longer."

A species of draxie—a type of dragon created by the fae and having fae ancestry—the Plague Dragon is not a natural organism, but a weapon. Created by the Shadowfolk of the

Winter Realm, the creatures were created by dark magic and used against other fae courts. With their terrible, disease-spreading bodies, those who are not immediately killed by their noxious fumes and poisonous fang are not clear of trouble. Scaleless, Plague Dragons' soft skin is a squishy, festering breeding ground for an aggressive flesh-eating bacteria. As it slithers and flies overhead, bits and pieces of its foul hide fall off; the microorganisms can grow on whatever they land on, preferring warm and wet places, or warm-blooded creatures.

The Plague Dragon was used to wrest territory from others. When the beasts began harming their creators, they were universally outlawed in faedom.
