There have been a few to be honest. But my most memorable was the purchase of the Mage Knight Apocalypse Dragon back at Gen Con 2011.
Shown here after I got it home with the Aspect of Tiamat and Orcus. AoT takes up 3x3 squares, Orcus 4x4. The Apocalypse Dragon takes up 7x7.
This beast was originally going to be Tiamat in my games. But later on WotC would release their own monstrous Tiamat.

What about that Apocalypse Dragon? I still want to get my money's worth out of him. So he has been redubbed as Leviathan. Fitting, given the history my games have had with him. I will need to revisit my stats for him, though.
This gives me a chance to use both dragons.
Gen Con 2011 was also the same year I picked up all of the Mayfair Demons sets for AD&D 2nd Edition. I might need to go back to those and see if they had a Leviathan write-up. Might be fun.
I also should adopt as much as possible from the Mage Knight rules.
D&D has always been weirdly lacking in multi-headed dragons. Sure, there have been a few over the years, but they're comparatively rare considering how often they feature in myth and fantasy novels. Even pretty basic two-headers don't show up much, where you'd think they'd have included variant dragons with extra noggins in the same kinds of number as the kajillion color/metal/gemstone types.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to run into those in a dark alley--except they probably couldn't fit in an alley.
