Diabolic dragons are said to be extensions of the plane of Hell itself to enact its will, or perhaps the reborn souls of dragons sent to Hell. Either way, these dragons are powerful and cunning. Every diabolic dragon lives to further the goals of Hell through various means.

Their hoards consist primarily of soul gems and infernal contracts. These contracts remain active until the soul of the mortal signer descends into Hell, whereupon it is forcibly ensnared within a soul gem. Diabolic dragons often dispatch these souls to various corners of Hell for various uses. However, they reserve the souls of particularly intriguing mortals, summoning them later to serve as minions or for other nefarious purposes.

Habitat

The lair of a diabolic dragon is generally surprisingly austere. Typically, these dragons stake claim to caverns or expansive chambers within the depths of Hell.
