If I make a few dragons ahead of time, I'll be ready the next time my players run into one. Which happens. So meet Ompallios. The name came from the DCC appendix, but I recognized it from a top tier Clark Ashton Smith story.
Ompallios is a 162 year old azure dragon the size of a house and aligned with the neutral watchers. It prefers to protect its layer with Fey Runes and it has a couple potions (Human control, Super-heroism) for extra defense. Ompallios keeps tabs on its surroundings by asking local fauna what they have seen.
PCs of any level probably don't stand a chance, unless they grovel, throw down sacks of gold, and offer to go on potion-ingredient quests. If anyone rolls a natural 20 on Personality while grovelling, Ompallios will bond them with its patron, Ithha.
