The Mist Dragon.

    The Mist Dragons are a part of a kind of dragon known as the Dark Dragon's. They like the other Dark Dragon's draw their powers from the force known as the Dark. They are the oldest of the four Dark Dragons having made their connection with the Dark millions of years in the past. How they or the other Dark Dragons draw their power from the Dark is not known, but what is known is the Elder Dark Dragons, any of the Dark Dragons who  live for over 10,000 years of age, are greater in power then the Night Lords them selves! There are only 10 Elder Dark Dragons known in all the Megaverse at this time.
    The Mist Dragons were at one time a powerful race who ruled over dozens of worlds and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. But like all great and powerful races they to would fall. On the Palladium world long ago in it's past known as the Age of Chaos the Mist Dragon's tried to invade that world and destroy all other dragon's on the planet and clam the world as their own. They appeared in the hundreds of thousands and would have one if it were not for a group of dragon's known as the Elemental Dragon's who fought the Mist Dragons in a thousand year war known as the Fang and Claws war that end in the near destruction of both powers.
    The Mist Dragons envious of others of power and will plan their destruction with great delight. Often playing with their enemies before they destroy them. They also love treasure and can be "bought" with large sums of gems, in the millions, and will let their targets live for a short time.
