New Dragon: Bileblood Tyrant

"Among dragons, the title Tyrant it is earned through blood and ruin. Tyrants do not merely seek dominion over mortals; they aim to ascend the hierarchy of their own kind. Its corrosive bile begins seeping through ruptured organs and mixing with its own lifeblood. This fusion forms the bloodbile, a hyper-acidic substance that floods its veins and spills from its wounds in hissing rivulets. Powerful enough to eat through the nigh impervious armor of other dragons, it is this perversion of its own nature that allows a black dragon to become a Bileblood Tyrant. Tyrants seek out the territories of rival dragons, challenging their rule and despoiling their lands. They delight in unmaking what others have built: be it hoards, dominion, or legacy. They often begin their campaigns by hunting down the favored champions of their enemies. Once they cripple the defenders, the Tyrant claims what remains, leaving only corroded wilderness in its wake."

Yes. On beneos.cloud you can download individual packs or complete backlogs as ZIPs and use them as you wish, for example via Roll20/Alchemy RPG.
