Dreadscales - Monster (Premium Supplement) (Patreon)

The dreadscales are an enigmatic race of monstrosities, born not of natural occurrence but of arcane experimentation and draconic influence. Said to be conceived from a cabal of sea witches and warlocks who mingled their dark arts with the eggs of water-dwelling dragons, dreadscales are creatures of both water and war.

Resembling humanoid dragons with scaled hides that shimmer like the treacherous ocean depths, dreadscales are known for their inherent affinity for water. Their society is built within the cavernous depths of coastal regions, where they construct elaborate underwater lairs resembling the ruins of long-forgotten aquatic civilizations. These lairs are often guarded by the mightiest of their warriors and the keenest of their sorcerers.
