This piece depicts a dragon in a modern setting.

Dragons of Steel have adapted themselves to modern, futuristic or planar settings of technology and machinery by exposing the eggs of metallic dragons to electricity and unusual materials to coax them into developing in a different way. Steel dragons eschew magic but have an abiding fascination for technology and devices. For their hoards they gather technological items and rare materials, rather than things with – necessarily – an innate value

#RPG – A Month of Monsters – Princess Nektirini

You can buy this piece of stock art, for as little as $1 this month as part of a promotion. We have a promotion running all month, 31 pieces of monstrous stock art, one a day until all are at on sale culminating on the 31^st for Halloween.

This piece depicts a woman with draconic features.

The Kingdom of Sieni was at war with the Dragons of Terka-Zamok ever since its founding, the kingdom founded from the hoard of an ancient dragon, slain by the first King.

After many years of conflict, many burned villages and many slain dragons, the great green Dragon Koldunkoro – at bay in the 13^th Dragon Kingdom, feigned surrender and, using powerful magic, took the form of a woman and seduced Queen Persika’s consort. Once this half-human offspring hatched, Koldunkoro took human form again and brought the baby princess back to the Kingdom of Sieni, causing a rapid scramble to cover up what was thought to be a sex scandal and to adopt the child and bring them into the fold.

Now the princess has come of age, her draconic traits are starting to come out. Her treacherous draconic personality with it, along with jealousy and greed. Queen Persika has had her imprisoned in a tower of her castle, but she still plots and schemes to get herself extricated and to take over the kingdom, just as Koldunkoro planned, all those years ago.

#RPG – A Month of Monsters – Avarus, the Dragon of Greed

You can buy this piece of stock art, for as little as $1 this month as part of a promotion. We have a promotion running all month, 31 pieces of monstrous stock art, one a day until all are at on sale culminating on the 31st for Halloween.

This piece depicts a dragon, squatting atop its golden hoard.

This is Avarus, a dragon of greed (in medieval times dragons were associated with the serpent from the Bible, and with the various sins). Avarus squats in a vast underground chamber beneath a stone circle, tended and attended by a cult of corrupted druids who bring him riches and perform human sacrifices – even though he answers no prayers and has no special powers to aid them, he can only withhold his wrath.

The area around him – out to seven miles – is filled with small, dilapidated villages, filled with suspicious people and misers. Many around here bury their treasure or take extreme precautions against thieves. You can also expect to pay a great deal more for goods and services throughout this area, as much as your purse can stand. Market days, often jolly and festival-like elsewhere, are nasty, mean-spirited and frequently spill over into fights here.

It has been like this since the days of old when squabbling over the succession to a long dead, and now forgotten queen gave rise to Avarus, a physical embodiment of greed, born of the clutching schemes of her children.
