Kalaxes

Known only from this scroll

An ancient dragon with midnight-blue scales and golden eyes. Once bound to Persian service, it was imprisoned by Leonidas until accidentally freed by Acenes. Kalaxes reveals it once pulled Medea's chariot before she betrayed it with the Spear of Ares. The creature's regenerative abilities stem from its consumption of gold hoards.
