The Dragon is a massive Grimm that appears in the free online show RWBY.
Description[]
The dragon is an immense wyvern, with a black scaly body, white bony armor, spikes, and a mask with red markings. It has several red/orange eyes, and it's wing membranes are blood red. It's jaws open up all the way into it's neck.
Although it looks reptilian, it is actually a creature of Grimm, a race of ancient soulless monsters that have wandered the world of Remnant for as long as anyone can remember, and seek only to destroy humanity, as well as the human-like faunus. Grimm lack souls, do not eat, are attracted to negative emotions, evaporate in black smoke upon death, and and appear to grow in strength and intelligence throughout their seemingly indefinite lifespan. Their origins and methods of reproducing are unclear. However, the Grimm appear to be allied with a strange female entity known as Salem. Unlike most Grimm, only one dragon has ever been seen.
History[]
Not much is known about the Dragon, but at some point it went into a state of hibernation within a mountain near the city of Vale. Several members of Vale's government and Huntsmen academy appeared to be aware of the monster.
During a massive attack on Vale by Grimm that was triggered by Salem's subordinates, the mass chaos and fighting awoke the ancient beast, which broke out of the mountain and immediately made for the communications tower that stood atop Beacon Academy, where it was greeted by member of Salem's inner circle, Cinder, who said that this was it's new home now. During a clash between Cinder and a Huntress named Pyrrah, the Dragon destroyed the tower, which cut off all long-distance communication across Remnant. Another Huntress named Ruby scaled the tower just in time to see Cinder execute Pyrrah. Overcome by grief and rage, Ruby unleashed a strange power which badly injured Cinder and somehow petrified the Dragon atop the remains of Beacon Tower, though it was still alive and attracting lesser Grimm to the school.
Abilities[]
The dragon did not get to demonstrate many of its powers, if it had any. One peculiar trait it did possess, was the ability to spawn lesser Grimm by way of a black liquid that dripped from its torso.
