So in D&D there’s this thing with dragons called a “Frightful Presence,” which is basically a game play mechanic to deal with the fact that if a person saw a dragon they’d probably shit themselves because there’s a fucking dragon. But what if Fear Element dragons had this as one of their abilities? Just the ability to make everyone around them afraid just by being threatening.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE CRAOLIG WOULD SO HAVE THIS ABILITY LIKE FUCKING INHERENTLY ALL OF THEM NO EXCEPTIONS

-ahem-

Yeah I can totally see Fear Dragons having that, though. Except for Kurogh. SO he has to compensate by being a giant douchebeg.

OOC : Oh yes! Funny thing, that’s pretty much what Kurogh’s attacks are, at least what his ability of Fear does. His “Fear Arrows” aren’t physical, like Feuriah’s fire abilities they’re actually a type of aura magic. For Kurogh, it’s mental. When one of his arrows actually hits a target, it doesn’t pierce the skin and cause bleeding; rather, it brings all of the victim’s fears to the forefront of the mind and intensifies them so greatly that it can cause the victim to become overwhelmed. Therefore, vulnerable to attack, or mentally break them without having to waste energy. The more mentally vulnerable you are, the more effective his attacks are.

Pretty much, Kurogh’s Fear Arrows causes you to have near fatal anxiety/panic attacks so he can sink his teeth and or claws into you. He uses your weaknesses against you, makes you cower before him with your own follies 8D if his arrows weren’t enough, he was still a skilled fighter and strategist; he was not a fun guy to fight.

BUT STILL, Kurogh was a giant, oozing douche-bag for sure. Damn skippy he used his Arrows for laughs too
