Dragons Are Radioactive Moon Aliens

Once the world had one moon, and then there were two. This second moon was the color of blood-fire, and when it was full, insanity gripped the minds of men and beast alike. And then the moon hatched.

Beautiful but deadly.

This event was doomsday. This event was what brought dragons to the world.

They came crashing into the planet alongside the burning shards of egg-moon they had hatched from. Entire cities crumbled as massive rocks obliterated them and everything around them for a dozen miles. Tsunamis rose up and washed away the coast and then drained away, never to return. Ash filled the skies and crumbled mountaintops littered the fields like broken pieces of glass from a brick-shattered window.

Then the dragons took flight and the hunt began.

At first, they were intelligent. They spoke their reasons for claiming our world. They studied our tactics from above and then razed them in dragon breath. But they were not from this world. Like poison to a well, their minds became tainted. First memory fell away, then logic, and finally speech. Driven mad by terrestrial influence, these wyrms became little more then instinctual apex predators. But apex predators they still were.

From ashen waste comes Death.

One could argue that they were more dangerous when insanity claimed them. No longer would they spare children for slaves or flee when their wounds were too grievous. Now they fought to the death like maddened berserkers, and their rage laid waste to city after city, realm after realm. The Old Opal Kings of yesterday asked the Gods for help and help they offered but even they could not save the world for the world had become prey and sinned itself into damnation.

Overtime, the dragons began to change the world through more then just ash and fire. Their breath was something strange. It poisoned the world just as the world poisoned them. A fell pollution overtook the land. Life as what was once known collapsed. The last native tree died a hundred years ago, and only the gods remember what a green world looked like.

Still the poison seeps into the land. Wolves have grown giant and dire, hyenas have stolen the intelligence of man, and those who travel the Blessed Lands feel its effects turning their flesh and souls into fire.

And what of the dragons themselves?

No longer do they hold the shapes of just serpents. Their weird souls have only grown weirder as they are burned away. Kobolds dig their way out of their corpse-flesh and a thousand type of drakes crawl from their mouths when the blood-fire moon should have been full again and their flesh forms take on dreamlike, uncanny shapes. Never did dragons obey the logic of man but now they obey no logic at all.

Some of them are fucking weird now, m'kay?

DRAGONS
HD: Wyrmling: 4 Young: 10 Adult: 22 Ancient: 36 First: 50 ; all for torso
AC: As Plate + Shield (+1 for every age above Wyrmling)
SPEED: As human x 2 or x4 when flying
ATTACK: EITHER 1d8 Bite and 2d6 for Claws OR 1d10 for Tails or Wings ; add another damage die for every age group above Adult

Dragons will rarely land if there is still moving danger unless severely hurt or otherwise enraged. All dragons have a breath weapon and 1d4 (+1 for every age above wyrmling) mutations. Roll for both.

The dragon has 1 HD for its head and each limb. Increase this by +2 HD for every age above Wymrling. Once a limb is reduced to 0 HP, the limb is unusable--IE it can't fly if its wing(s) are destroyed, etc. If the head is reduced to 0 HP it dies instantly. If the torso is reduced to 0 HD, its heart must be destroyed.

If an Adult-aged dragon has a critical hit on a bite attack, it swallows its target whole, reducing it to 0 HP (or dealing 1d10 damage if Dragon Wife) and swallowing it. If not saved or Dragon Wife, creature dies on its next turn.

Each dragon age category is bigger then the previous. The First category refers to the first dragons to descend from the hatched moon. They are bigger than the City of the Dragon Wife itself.
