Description: Shkiv came to Ygorl's service after the ruin of Arkhosia. Disgusted with human excess and overcome with grief for his fallen kin, the dragon sought out the Lord of Entropy to get revenge. The slaad lord accepted the dragon's service, and the melancholic beast has been Ygorl's constant companion ever since.
Service to a slaad lord comes at a steep price. The chaotic energy swirling about Ygorl corrupts any who spend too much time in his presence. Shkiv's body is twisted and shrunken, prone to sudden eruptions and transformations. His wings are tattered, his scales tarnished, and his flesh sags from the bones, testifying to the dragon's great age.
