Retrieved from the Internet Scrapyard: Nazethox, the Unholy Shadow

This, like the Prototype list, was originally on Pastebin and linked elsewhere.

Anyway, what this monster is supposed to be is an umbral dragon, advanced to its highest and most powerful age category, transformed into a ravener (dragon-lich), and given Mythic power. The result is a monstrosity that only Mythic heroes could ever possibly challenge.

If you don't understand the statistics, that's alright. Just imagine a huge dragon skeleton, surrounded by a shadow that resembles its living self.

-Abilities-
 
Mythic Blasphemy (Sp): Nazethox benefits from a permanent 'desecrate' spell, centered on him. In addition, creatures within 20 feet of Nazethox take 2d12+12 points of negative energy damage per round. Undead in this area of effect (apart from Nazethox himself) instead heal by this amount. This effect cannot be dispelled.
