Styx Dragon

Styx Dragons are a species of Underworld Dragon that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2:Worlds Clashing. It is one of the types of mythological dragons that inhabits the River Styx in the Nine Hells. Unlike Colored dragons or Metal/Mineral dragons, Styx Dragons or Darkwyrms as they are also called are born Via the scales of the dragon god finding their way into the nine hells via portals or other means. Styx Dragons made their debute in the chapter where The Happy Time Fun Squad find their path blocked by the River Styx and must find a special way across. They stumble upon the lair of a Styx Dragon which upon discovering they were intruders burst from the ground and attacked them. The group took about 21 minutes to kill It since this dragon didn't have any records on the overworld so they were unable to figure out what Its biology told about it. The beast was killed after Xenith Stephenson Blasted it after the poisonous gas from the air got in his nose and a fireball flew into its open mouth and lit the acidic gas before it could spit it at them and the dragon was set ablaze.

## Biology

The Styx Dragons were vicious predators of the underworld. They have a rusted gold colorscheme with a black sail going from its head to its twin tail. Its face is shaped similar to a Tyrannosaurus rex but with a more black upper jaw and a rusty gold underjaw. It has black horns that poke from the sides of its sail at its head backwards and it has small 3 clawed arms and legs which are in possession of Twitch movement joints allowing them real fast minor damage motions. It also has black wings with gold streaks and its tail is split at the end into barbed tails which are prehensile and are known to wrap around their victims driving the barbs into them and injects them with the Demon Fluid which Demon Fluid seems to get absorbed by their scales. They are also known for having a very devilish sounding roar which sounds like loud nails against chalkboard with hints of lion roars in them. When hunting, The Styx dragons wait out by the River Styx for fiends/weak devils and demons to come out in which they will attack by lashing out with an Acid breath which comes in pair with the Demon Fluid that helps burn away armored food. Styx Dragons however are very reckless and evil. When Styx Dragons start their lives, Their eggs are laid in the river itself and since the eggs are naturally made of a shell of hardened Demon Fluid they aren't effected by the river and thus hatch whenever they reach the edge of the river and follow the river to the nessus layer where it is there where they become adults and they can choose what ever layer of the Nine Hells to live in. At max Lengths these Underworld dragons reach lengths of 130.22 meters long with a wingspan of 43 meters.

## Abilities

Resistance: Much like other dragons or wyverns of its kind, Styx Dragons are resistant to conventional weaponry such as bullets from non enchanted guns and strikes from non magical swords which do minimal damage.

Demon Fluid Immunity: Styx Dragons are one of the few creatures that are able to be immune to the painful effects of Demon Fluid. In fact they also use it as Aux Weaponry.

Acid Breath: Styx Dragons breathe acid to help better liquify its prey so it doesn't have to bite so hard. This acid can melt through skin easily and also can boil iron with ease.

Demon Fluid Breath: Spewing at the same time that it spews acid, It squirts Demon Fluid from its second throat nozzle which is able to double the effect of the acid breath it just used. This is technically an Infernal wound but more like an infernal Ailment.

Barbed Prehensile Tail: The Styx Dragons had a prehensile tail with 2 ends which were also barbed and prehensile able to wrap around its prey and seep those barbs into them like a Colossal Squid Tentacle only this time they inject the prey with the Demon Fluid. This tail however is less durable than the rest of its body as shown by how Tolup the Morph Slime Cuts it off by assuming Chainsaw form.

Dragon Scream: Much like the Overworld dragons, Styx Dragons can use Dragon Scream but theirs is a Light and dark green Draconic pulse instead of the usual which does both Draconic energy damage and Underworld Damage.
