Skeletal Dragons

Skeleton Dragons are Dragons that became so powerful, that they live on even after their death (practically Dragon Liches). They wield strong magic powers and attack anyone daring to come close to their lair. But since they are only made of bones, strong blunt weapons like hammers can smash them to pieces. Of course only, if the warrior manages to come near enough in the first place....

Only two Skeleton Dragons are found in Ultima, both in dungeons on Serpent Isle.

Lore
''Some dragons reach heights of great intellect, learning so much that they lose the need for their corporeal forms. After time has ravished their scales and flesh, only the mind remains intact, caged in the gray-white bones of the original body Such monstrosities continue their accumulation of power, far surpassing the strength of their living counterparts.''

- from "Beyond the Serpent Pillars", Ultima VII/2
