The Skull Dragon (スカルドラゴン) was an Ancient Dragon that got resurrected as an undead by the mage who created the cursed ring for stealing panties when he bound his soul to its remains.[1]
Appearance[]
Its appearance is that of a huge dragon's skeleton, with glowing red dots appearing in its eye sockets when it is awake.
Personality[]
The mage was very loyal to his brother, devoting his life to proving the latter's innocence. Failing that, he aimed to fulfill his late brother's regrets while also seeking revenge on the hated world that rejected his brother's pursuit, even after death.
Despite this, he is still reasonable enough that when in full control of the body, he chooses conversation over conflict with people.
History[]
The mage's brother, a noble who liked stealing panties, had to abandon his perverted pursuit to evade accusations thrown his way. As such the mage tried to prove his brother's innocence even though he was certainly guilty, and created a cursed ring that forces men who wear it to steal more and more panties with every full moon. However his brother died in regret before his aim could be achieved, and in anguish the mage bound his soul to the bony remains of an Ancient Dragon, so that even after death he can take vengeance on the hated world that rejected his brother. Foreseeing that the proud soul of the dragon would resist his attempts to fully subvert the body, the mage beforehand made the cursed ring use its wearer's soul as a beacon, thus attracting the body to locations with people where it could wreak havoc, even if the souls of the mage and the dragon were busy fighting.
After Kazuma put on the cursed ring which became unremovable and made him steal panties, the Skull Dragon began edging closer to Axel, before settling in a cave situated in the forests nearby and killing the thieves that used it as a hideout. On one full moon night the ring's power was unleashed, it tried to break into Kazuma's mansion, only to be repelled by the protective barrier set up around it by Aqua. While sleeping in the cave the next day, the Skull Dragon was discovered by Kazuma and his companions, and got awakened by the ring as the adventurers tried to sneak past it. Sent into a frenzy when Yunyun, Wiz and Aqua cast spells on it, the Skull Dragon while distracted allowed the adventurers to escape outside before being buried when Megumin blasted the cave down. Managing to break its way out, the Skull Dragon left when the mage was able to identify Kazuma as the ring's wearer.
A month later, the Skull Dragon with the two souls still battling inside slowly made its way to Axel when the ring began emitting with increasing power, only to be met outside town by the combined resistance of Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, Wiz, Chris, Yunyun, and all other adventurers. Surviving the ferocious onslaught, the Skull Dragon was finally brought under the mage's full control, and upon recognising Wiz the king of undead as well as Kazuma, began lamenting how unfair the world was towards his brother. After Kazuma convinced him to give up on vengeance because there wouldn't be any more panties if humans were all killed, the mage asked for the panties Kazuma had stolen so that he can take them to his brother in the afterlife, before allowing Aqua to purify him along with the body.
Abilities[]
Magic: Despite his dubious mentality, the mage was a powerful user of black magic, able to create the cursed ring containing both pure aspiration and complex enumerations, a combination that made the curse impossible for Aqua and difficult for Vanir to crack. He also had the skill and willpower to bind his soul to a dead Ancient Dragon and fight against the proud dragon's soul. In addition, the Skull Dragon as a whole uses a flying magic to grant its body of bones flight.
Physical Strength: Despite being all bones, the Skull Dragon still retained the power and endurance of an Ancient Dragon, and thus was able to break out of a cave-in as well as deal damage to Darkness.
Magic Resistance: The Skull Dragon was able to survive two Explosions from Megumin and Wiz followed by Aqua's Sacred Turn Undead.
