Description
With its wings, that extend across the eternities, it stirs the fabric of the cosmos. Its breath bellows over the mortals, stealing the essence of life. With claws that rake the aether, it sunders ancient bonds. Thanks to its eyes, the Ur-Dragon perceives the deepest truths concealed in the wells of time. Its bellowing roar summons its brood, echoing through the blood of all dragonkind, for the Ur-Dragon is the progenitor from which the dragons of the Multiverse spawned.
The Ur-Dragon is described as a huge, dark, and terrifying shadow. It is a being that lives betwixt and between, in a place and no place: it is blind. In its travel through the planes, it creates storms with the beating of its wings: from such storms, other dragons are born. Its "children", created in the Birth of the Elder Dragons, include the twin Elder Dragons Ugin and Nicol Bolas, as well as their siblings and cousins.
Scion of the Ur-Dragon
As said, the spirit of the Ur-Dragon flows through all dragons, granting them physical might, powerful magic, and peerless intelligence. Among the dragons, the Scion of the Ur-Dragon feels this visceral bond more closely than most, and it believes itself to be the blood of its powerful ancestor. However, it is not alone in his power. The Primeval Dragons of Dominaria, in fact, each bear one of the characteristics of the Ur-Dragon.
