Command the battlefield with this Ancient Horned Dragon, a gargantuan centerpiece featuring a regal crown of horns and a devastating mace-tipped tail. Its heavy, plate-like scales and massive wingspan make it the ultimate challenge for any high-level adventuring party.
A massive ancient dragon has just landed or is standing its ground, flaring its wings to assert dominance over its territory.
A world-shaping campaign boss, a legendary guardian of a divine relic, or a cataclysmic threat requiring a full party of epic-level heroes to defeat.
