The Dread Dragon is a vampiric dragon that feeds on the blood of anything that crosses it's path. It will attack on sighting of prey and will not stop until it's hunger is sated. This what happens when a vampire drains a dragon.

Combat: The Dread Dragon will seek to weaken it's prey first by attacking with its claws and teeth. When it bites it injects a paralytic poison that works in 1d4 rounds. When it needs to defend itself it will call upon the shadows around it which will add drop it's AC to -10.

Habitat/Society: As it lives solely to feed it does not follow any particular society although there has been instances of Vampire Lords controling their creations. They are strictly nocturnal as the sunlight destroys them

Ecology: As it is outside the natural order it does not give anything to the ecology.
