Dragotha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Dragotha is a powerful undead dragon, known as a dracolich. Dragotha is a major player in Dungeon's Age of Worms adventure path.

[edit] History

Dragotha was formerly a powerful red dragon, the mightiest consort of Tiamat. At some point Dragotha offended his mistress, and was forced to leave Avernus. Making his way to Oerth, Dragotha fell in with Kyuss, where he eventually became a dracolich & Kyuss's greatest servant. Dragotha's lair is thought to lie in the Wormcrawl Fissure, near Rift Canyon.

[edit] Dragotha in Greyhawk literature

An expedition to Dragotha's lair is told in the song, The Claws of Dragotha, which is believed to have been penned sometime in the fifth century CY.
