Kriv stands as a monolith of soot-stained scales, his natural deep red hue darkened by years of exposure to volcanic ash. His head is devoid of the typical dragonborn crest, leaving a smooth, scarred skull that reflects the dim light like polished obsidian. His left eye has been replaced by a faceted ruby that pulses with a faint, internal heat, while his right eye is a piercing, analytical amber. He moves with a predatory, low-slung grace, his tail twitching rhythmically to the buzzing of the tiny creatures that cling to his armor. Paradoxically, despite his rugged and scorched exterior, he smells faintly of jasmine and ozone.
