jealously guarding its domain against evil creatures of all kinds.

Oceanus dragons appear much like great winged eels, with relatively short limbs ending in webbed fingers. Though capable of flight, most Oceanus dragons prefer life in the water to that in the air.

The typical lair of an Oceanus dragon is a hidden cave, either along a riverbank or completely underwater. Most Oceanus dragons spend little time in their lairs, instead patrolling a stretch of river in search of good-aligned creatures in need of assistance or evil creatures in need of punishment.

Oceanus dragons speak Celestial, Draconic, and Aquan.

Combat

Oceanus dragons prefer to end fights quickly, using their tranquility breath weapon and spell-like abilities to neutralize foes. However, they aren’t afraid to go toe-to-toe with particularly resistant opponents, using their lightning breath weapon, smite evil ability, and prodigious melee attacks to make short work of their enemies.

Young and older Oceanus dragons’ natural weapons are treatedas magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Breath Weapon (Su): An Oceanus dragon has two types of breath weapon, a line of lightning or a cone of tranquility gas. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a

Will save or become dazed for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per age category of the dragon. Both breath weapons function normally underwater.

Amphibious (Ex): Although Oceanus dragons are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.

Water Breathing (Ex): An Oceanus dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spell-like abilities, and other abilities while submerged.

thunder that move earth and shape continents. They are native to the Bleak Eternity of Gehenna, an infinite plane of volcanic earthbergs and infernal lava.

A pyroclastic dragon is solidly built and powerfully muscled, conveying a sense of immovability. Its scales resemble fractured obsidian and glowing magma, forming a mottled pattern of reds, oranges, blacks, and grays over its entire body. Its large wings seem almost to be made of ash, but despite their flimsy appearance they are quite capable of bearing the dragon’s great weight aloft.

Pyroclastic dragons enjoy swimming through magma, but they make their lairs in caves carved out of volcanic rock. When they venture to the Material Plane, they live only in volcanic regions.

These dragons enjoy the taste of meat but can also subsist on a purely mineral diet. Combat

Pyroclastic dragons have all the subtlety of a volcanic eruption—they may simmer and hiss for a time, but when they erupt at last their fury is unmatched.

Young and older pyroclastic dragons’ natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Breath Weapon (Su): A pyroclastic dragon has two types of breath weapon, a cone of superheated ash accompanied by crushing waves of sonic force (dealing half fire damage and half sonic damage) or a disintegrating line. Creatures within the area of the line must succeed on a Fortitude save or crumble to ash. (Creatures that successfully save do not take any damage.)

Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day—produce flame, sound burst; 1/day—fire storm, incendiary cloud, meteor swarm, power word, stun, pyrotechnics, shatter, shout, wall of fire, wall of stone.
