Ravus was an aggressive Elder Dragon, with the characteristic fierce crest that was shared by his siblings Vaevictis Asmadi, Rubra, and Lividus. They were cousins of Palladia-Mors, Merrevia Sal Chromium Rhuell, Nicol Bolas, Ugin and Arcades Sabboth.
History
Ravus was birthed in the second egg-fall by the Ur-Dragon on Dominaria.[1] With his marauding sibling gang, he furiously guarded a territory they claimed for their hunting grounds.[2] Because the humans in their territory evolved into dragon hunters, after several years only he and his three siblings remained of his egg-fall. At least four descendants had been killed, their skulls decorating the houses of the humans.[3]
Elder Dragon War
At the onset of the Elder Dragon War, Ravus and his brothers were challenged by the human army of Nicol Bolas. Although Rubra took a poisoned bolt to the eye, the others defeated the army easily.[4] What remained of Bolas' army fled to the mountains and hid in a canyon. When Ravus and Lividus traced them there, they found that Bolas had one more trick up his sleeve. Working in concert, a squadron of sorcerers flung a disintegration spell at Ravus. It hit like an invisible wave pouring through him and he splintered like rock heated until it exploded.
