Details

Ishataulak is an adult Grey Dragon, and like her breed, she is of a stockier, more rugged build than the typical dragonkin. Considerably shorter in neck and tail than common saurians, Ishataulak makes up for lack of length by being very thickly built, plated in heavy, jagged scales similar to worn stone in weight, feel, and durability. Her wings are short, ill suited to long flights, designed moreso for short glides off of cliff-tops. Instead, her favored mode of transportation is burrowing, as being an earth-attuned dragon grants her the skill to tunnel into mountainsides as easily as other dragons fly through the air. What separates Ishataulak from other Greys are her many disfigurations, ranging from healing wounds to permanent damage. These more permanent deformations include:

  • The left half of her skull is a horrific combination of melted scale and eye, warped and scorched flesh, and bared bone, caused by a geyser of boiling, sulphuric water directed at her by the wizard Svilfon.
  • Her left wing bears a large hole in the membrane from Satoshi carving through it, as well as it having been crushed beneath Ishataulak's own weight, rendering it near useless for anything but the shortest flights--and those done out of sheer stubborn drive.
  • The underside of her throat consists of numerous, half-healed scars and damaged scales, a combination of repeated attacks by Satoshi and Jerica. Much of her throat and jaws are coated in crumbling layers of petrified flesh as a result of her breath-pouch having been punctured on two occasions.
  • As such, the amount of petrifying liquid she can spit is heavily reduced, as the pouch producing it has grown smaller with repeated damage and healing inflicted on it.
  • A scar runs the length of her spine from base of neck to tail, courtesy of a scouring by Asorial.
  • Her right foreclaw is often kept tucked beneath herself as it no longer properly supports her weight after being shattered by an assault from Gospel.

History

For the most part, Ishataulak lived a peaceful life as a typical female Grey, content in her territory, looked after by her mate, and preparing for the hatching of their first brood. Unfortunately for the dragon, her life was turned upside down when her mate was slain by a dragon-hunter mere days after she'd discovered all but one of her eggs had failed to survive their laying. In mourning, Ishataulak became extremely protective of her remaining egg, determined to preserve the only fragment of her family she had left.

That is, until the foxkin Kirien learned of Greys and decided to hunt for an egg of his own. With the aid of Svilfon and Eklenisec, they found Ishataulak's cave, where the wizard drew her out with claims of being a powerful dragon-slayer. Believing Svilfon to be the one who killed her mate, Ishataulak flew into a rage and attacked. The battle was brief but crippling for the dragon, made all the worse when she fled to her cave to find the egg stolen by Kirien and Eklenisec.

From that day onward, Ishataulak has devoted herself to hunting the egg thieves without relenting. This has led her into an encounter with Svilfon and Satoshi, that earned her further injuries and forced her to flee, as well as an ambush on Kasyr and Jerica that likewise resulted in the dragon having to retreat. Despite repeated defeats, Ishataulak refuses to cease her hunt until the family of vampires are dead, or she is.


During one of her searches for the vampiric family, Ishataulak happened upon the area where Satoshi and Kasyr's home is hidden, and where the Grey discovered their child Aurelia playing in the company of her two dogs and young frost dragon. In murderous revenge, the dragon slew child, pets, and hatchling alike, leaving them in a bloody mess for the vampiric couple to find.


Ishataulak presumptively lurked somewhere in the Xalious range and had not been seen since her massacre. The First Ranger of Frostmaw, Roytoc, was given the task of locating Ishataulak's lair. He was successful and relayed the information to Satoshi, allowing her to complete the her trap--after two months of work-- and set the bait needed to draw out the nearby saurian. By tormenting a newly hatched and ill-obtained Grey dragon in the center of Frostmaw's arena, Satoshi and Kasyr were able to get Ishataulak to make an appearance. A long and violent fight ensued that eventually led to the Grey's death, at long last.
