Onyxia

'Onyxia' is the enormous multi-headed black dragon ruler of the Obsidian Wastes region in Avalon.
== Biography ==
Onyxia's monstrous form is the result of forgotten sorceries and dark rituals performed long ago. Instead of the standard single head, his scaly body splits into seven long necks, each terminating in a fanged dragon skull with four baleful orange eyes. His main trunk-like body anchored in the center is 60 feet long while his skulls can reach over 100 feet away when fully extended. Even alone his fangs are long daggers, but together the seven heads form a fearsome hydra-like apex predator.
Though the black dragonflight are known for evil, Onyxia maintains a code of honorable combat. He perceives himself as the rightful lord of his desolate domain by virtue of might and magic. From his volcanic lair hidden deep in the Obsidian Wastes, Onyxia seizes any territory, treasure or rivals that challenge his supremacy. Other flights know to avoid trespassing on his ashen lands lest they incur his merciless wrath.
In ancient times prior to the Scrolls, Onyxia rose to power by overthrowing the brutal two-headed tyrant Tyrantus through bloody ritual combat. His multiple heads granted an advantage, allowing him to spew searing flames and poison smoke from different angles simultaneously. With Tyrantus' fall, Onyxia took his place as the new chieftain of the black dragonflight.
Since then he has expanded his domain, claiming the whole Obsidian Wastes territory for himself through fire and fang. Any new generation of dragons that dares challenge his rule is put to the test. Onyxia himself has no equal in all of Avalon, ensuring his iron-fisted reign persists through the millennia. His smoldering lair, protected by traps and minions, hides a treasure hoard beyond imagination.
Onyxia follows the ancient draconic principle of “might makes right.” None dare interfere with his business so long as they avoid his unforgiving lands. He maintains neutrality in larger dragonflight affairs so long as his territory remains undisturbed. Overall, Onyxia embodies the cruel fury and ruthlessness of the black dragonflight, yet commands a level of cunning and honor befitting his status as an apex predator king.
