The Ur-Dragon is an enormous and immensely powerful Dragon Avatar. An entity from the dawn of time, it is the primordial essence of all Dragonkind in the Multiverse.[1][2][3] With its wings, that extend across the eternities, it stirs the fabric of the cosmos. Its breath bellows over the 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 concelead 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.[4]

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 he believes himself to be the blood of its powerful ancestor. However, he is not alone in his power. The Primeval Dragons of Dominaria, in fact, each bear one of the characteristics of the Ur-Dragon.[5]
