Scorchscale Ravener

Adversaries Designed by James Bratten

Adversary overview

A massive, reptilian creature with scales like molten rock, radiating immense heat and leaving a trail of ash and cinders in its wake.

These scaled monstrosities were once forest drakes, corrupted by the Reaper’s twisted flame. Now their hides shimmer like molten metal, their breath reeks of scorched earth, and their eyes gleam with ember-light madness. Fire doesn’t hurt them, it lives inside them.
