Taniniver

CR 18.00 Dragon NE Huge
This legless, winged, white-eyed dragon is covered in patches of diseased flesh, squirming with maggots and oozing pus.

Taninivers are a degenerate race of diseased dragons. A taniniver's body is alive but constantly rotting. Wracked by never-ending pain, with the stench of its own decaying flesh so strong it nearly overwhelms the vile creature's enhanced senses, the foul taniniver spends most of its time in magical research to reverse the progression of its diseases or, failing that, to stave off further deterioration. Taninivers often ally with cults of undeath or dragonkind.
