Soul dragons are dark gray in color with their wingspan reaching around 15 feet. They are quick to anger and are believed to be related to black and shadow dragons.

The dragon’s scales start out a light dull gray but fade and become thicker with age. Soul dragons speak their own language, a tongue known to all evil dragons, and 10% of hatchling soul dragons have an ability to communicate with any intelligent creature. The chance to possess this ability increases 5% per age category.

This dragon is not undead and cannot be turned.

Combat: Soul dragons prefer to have others do their fighting for them.

Dimension Door (Sp): Soul dragons are born with the innate ability to Dimension Door at will.

Energy Drain (Su): The soul dragon attacks with its claws and bite, which drain 1 level per successful hit.

Summon Undead (Sp): They can summon and control up to 5 HD per age category of undead creatures.

Immune to Energy Drain (Ex): Soul Dragons are immune to Negative Levels, ability damage caused by negative energy (such as the strength damage of Souls), and any other effect based on Negative Energy such as Inflict spells, but unlike undead, they are *not* healed by them.

Other Spell-Like Abilities: 5/day - Shadow Magic; 3/day - Vampiric Touch, Shadow Walk, Mind Blank
