ARMOUR: 4

DAMAGE: PIXELATING TEETH (AS DRAGONFIRE)

What shapes could the static become?

What lines could it draw, in the space of forever, untuned and timeless, eternal?

Though it be birthed within a moment from a singular screen, it is, it was, and always shall be.

It is noise, not signal. It folds and glides in jagged, erratic sawtooth waves.

It eats averages and shits out void.  We are all, all of us and everything, built out of averages.

Killing the Static Dragon remains the only escape from the UHF Graveyard Worlds.

SPECIAL

As a 2D figure, multiply folded, only portions of the static dragon will be visible to any singular observer. Further, blows that do not strike perpendicular to a visible face do little damage (this is the source of the creatures exceptionally high Armor). Once this is discovered, the Dragon’s Armor is reduced to 1.
