Dragon Skeletons | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

Currently, I’m in the process of building the first part of the dungeon for The Secret of Forsaken Peak. One of the first BBEGs of the game is a half-dragon goblin priest (that’s going to be a whole-lotta-templates, eh?) that runs the joint.

At his side, he has an animated dragon skeleton that isn’t so much as a servant, but a symbol of draconic might.

This is using the skeleton template I posted on the site a couple months back.

Thanks for reading!

Keep reading along to get some more snazzy details on The Secret of Forsaken Peak. I’m having to have the first adventure set in the mountain out within the next couple days.
