ancient dragon
Legendary elder beast
Ancient dragon describes a dragon of immense age, typically the oldest and most powerful category in fantasy literature and games.
In role-playing systems like Dungeons & Dragons, ancient designates dragons that have lived for centuries or millennia, gaining size, magical ability, and cunning far beyond younger specimens.
The term suggests not just age but accumulated wisdom and terrifying power: The ancient dragon had slumbered beneath the mountain since before the kingdom was founded.
