The **Ouroboros Dragon** is the Pre-existential Dragon of Infinity well known for its appearance as a serpent that eats its own tail.

## Overview

The symbol of the Ouroboros has been apart of mankind's art for thousands of years, and the very entity that inspired it has been around much longer. They not only embody but are the cyclical nature of the universe that is helped and maintained by similar entities such as Life, Father Time, and Death. This nature of the universe is the result of Ouroboros existing, similar to the other concepts "embodied" by the other pre-existential entities. The Ouroboros keeps itself alive by feeding off its own endlessly regenerating body, starting by biting the tail and trying to eat further.

The symbol itself is a very important religious symbol over the ages, prominent in both Greek and Egyptian iconography, and the western mystical tradition as a whole. It was also widely utilized in alchemy, where it is a purifying sigil. The image of Ouroboros crossing itself into an infinity symbol is a modern idea, but one that retains the meaning of endlessness.

## Appearance

Like its fellow pre-existential entities, the Ouroboros lacks a true physical form and the form it utilizes is the form that its consciousness has chosen to manifest in. Its true form in size and scope encompasses entirety of everything, being completely incomprehensibly large. The form it usually takes is of a giant white serpent with varying features. Sometimes it'll have wings, sometimes it'll have legs; even the color of its body has been different.

During their conversation with Carl Black, Ouroboros takes on the appearance of an androgynous human, embodying both male and female attributes. Ouroboros has dull, hollow eyes. Carl Black was even surprised to discover that the androgynous boy was, in reality, a Pre-Existential Entity.

## Personality

When they assumed a human appearance and appeared to Carl Black, the two began talking and Ouroboros revealed their origins to Black, stating that they were born from a primordial egg known as the Cosmic Egg, although they could not say where or what this egg came from. Alongside Ouroboros, Vitriol was also born alongside the Dragon of Infinity. Ouroboros exhibited a friendly, polite, calm, collected, and insightful demeanor when talking with Black and answered all his questions.

## Powers and Abilities

The Ouroboros is hailed as one of the strongest existences in the entirety of Creation. Their power is so great that they rival Vitriol and other Pre-existentials, although they are one of the weakest Pre-existentials they still have enough power to wreak havoc in the megaverse. Not even Michael or Lucifer like to bump into them.

* **Nigh-Omnipotence**: As the Primordial Personification of Absolute Infinite, Ouroboros possesses the power to do absolutely anything it desires, possessing infinite and unending power, far surpassing that of the Cosmic Entities and the Elder Gods. The only beings that are able to harm or surpassed it are God, Khaos, Azathoth and Ayin. It is capable of rivaling fellow Pre-Existential Entities such as Vitriol and Father Time
* **Immense Strength**: As a Pre-existential Dragon God, the Ouroboros is one of the strongest beings in Creation, whose strength exceeds every dragon in their prime combined (excluding one), with Raphael stating its power is infinite. A normal slap from the Ouroboros can cause destructive results, sending a yeti flying. The Ouroboros in its prime would be equivalent to Vitriol and possibly Therion. However her powers are still inferior to her older siblings.
* **Transcendent Progenitor Physiology**: Ouroboros possesses all the traits and powers of a Progenitor deity. They are one of the first Progenitors to be personally created by Cosmic Egg.
* **Immense Durability**: Being an embodiment of infinity, the Ouroboros' durability borders on the point of near absolute invulnerability as shown when it was stabbed by the Spear of Longinus itself, an immensely powerful weapon capable of even slaying primordial entities, and was completely unaffected, Raphael even stated that the Ouroboros did not even shed a single drip of blood. On the other hand, she was easily defeated and mortally wounded by Ayin, forcing Khaos to safe her.
* **Shapeshifting**: The Ouroboros is a true shapeshifter, able to alter their size, apparent age, physical attributes and characteristics, and even it physical sex. It can also perfectly recreate the voice of any being.
* **Creation**: Being one of the oldest and most powerful beings in existence, Ouroboros can create literally anything out of nothing. However Dragons were the only known beings she was known to create.
* **Blessing**: Similar to its colleagues, the Ouroboros can 'bless' people, granting them certain advantages and abilities, having no negative effects on them unlike demons. Its blessings made the one chosen more compatible with Dragons; increasing people's luck, in addition to letting others tap into their potential.
* **Telepathy**: The Ouroboros can read the thoughts of others as well as mentally communicate through the minds of others.
* **Dimension Travel**: The Ouroboros can travel to other dimensions and universes at will.
* **Dimension Breaker**: It can summon a gigantic amount of energy and release a huge explosion around her which is powerful enough to destroy a entire dimension or black hole.
* **Flight**: As a dragon, the Ouroboros can fly, but unlike other dragons who use their wings or divine energy to do so, it is capable of flying without the use of wings or no apparent effort. The Ouroboros can simply float in midair without effort.

## History

### Origin

In the beginning, there was nothing. An endless, shapeless, and formless void of nothingness. Then, all of a sudden, an egg materializes from that nothing, and from that egg came two beings, one of which was Ouroboros.

During the beginning of existence, the Ouroboros and Vitriol were both born from the Cosmic Egg that appeared in the endless abyss. It is the featureless chaos, the disordered primal unity that existed prior to matter and energy becoming manifest and creating universes. When it had awakened, it became lost and confused in the empty abyss where it wandered until it found one of its older siblings, Khaos, who then raised the Ouroboros as its child.

Shortly after the creation of everything, Ouroboros attempted to replicate what Life and God did, and create life by creating its own souls. The results were less than savory as it ended up creating reptilian beasts, similar to the Primordial Beasts, known as the Dragons. After witnessing them rise up and engage in a war that nearly ended the young Creation, God descended and Ouroboros, afraid that they would be destroyed for their disobedience, disciplined the creatures so that they would behave.

### Fight with Ayin

Around the 14th century BCE, Ouroboros noticed that Ayin was attempting to escape from their hellish prison. Ouroboros didn't want to see what her brother worked on to go to waste, and in an attempt to redeem themself tried to fight Ayin. Unfortunately Ayin was much stronger then them even in a weakened state, so she was able to pin Ouroboros in place with an empty stare. She then used her Umbrakinesis to create dark spears that fatally wounded Ouroboros.

Khaos had noticed that Ouroboros was on the verge of non-existence, and decided to step in. After shielding Ouroboros from any further attacks, Ayin mocked Khaos in an attempt to provoke them. Khaos was easily provoked from this, and immediately hurled themself towards Ayin. Khaos then sealed her back into Hell and binded her further to the realm in the hopes the she wouldn't escape.

Ouroboros then fed upon their own body so that they could heal from the fight, this was viewed by many early human civilizations and was turned into an artistic depiction of eternity and infinity.

### Release of the Darkness

When the Darkness was released from her prison in 2017, a couple of wayward demons tried to cause further commotion while God was busy. Ouroboros decided to intervene, and warned the demons to go back to where so that they don't waste their time. One of the demons was holding the Spear of Longinus, and tried to use it against the primordial dragon. This was squander however, as the god-killing spear didn't even cause them to bleed.

Ouroboros then blasted these demons to ash with a single beam from their mouth. When the battle between the Darkness and God ended, they then appeared in front of Carl Black in human form to talk before leaving.

### The Final Conflict

Before the Final Conflict, Ouroboros will create an egg that would outlast their Megaverse in the attempt to "recreate infinity and oblivion" as Ouroboros would put it. Their contributions to the event beyond that is up to interpretation.

## Myths and Legends

The ouroboros icon is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent (and later dragon) eating its own tail. The symbol has been used by various religions and even alchemy over the years as a representation of an eternal cycle.

## Trivia

* Ouroboros and God share a special relationship. Their relationship is based on the actual myth of the LORD and Livyatan. Livyatan is the only being that was not created by the LORD and represented the "watery chaos" of non-being that existed prior to God's creation of the entirety of existence.
* The image of Ouroboros eating its own tail vaguely resembles the illustration of what a Big Crunch looks like. Ironically, an Ouroboros devouring itself eternally is similar to a universe eternally being born and dying in an endless cycle.
* Ouroboros' birthday is on the 31st of December and 1st of January; this representing its being an "boundless" being.
