Dimithkarjic Great Wyrm Green Dragon Dimithkarjic is convinced that his doom is upon him. He doesn’t merely wonder whether death will save visit him soon, he actively expects it. He has known for centuries, he says, that he would not live to see 2,000 years, but he is now only months away, so his imminent demise is inescapable. By no means does this make him a less fearsome foe in combat; he fights as fiercely as he did in his youth. He does not flee a battle, however, since he accepts the fate he believes is predetermined for him. Dimithkarjic: Male great wyrm green dragon; CR 24; Gargantuan dragon (air); HD 38d12+304, hp 551; Init +0;
