Ecology

Ouroboros is one of the elder species, claiming a wide territory and shaping the ecology around it for centuries. It is most often found in any regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.

Behaviour

Ouroboros is intelligent, vain, long-memoried; it remembers slights for centuries and rewards loyalty in kind. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.

Origin

Ouroboros is introduced in Kobold Press's Creature Codex (2018). Dragons in D&D canon trace to Bahamut and Tiamat, with each lineage having its own founding myth. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
