Monsters Related to: Fatalis, Crimson Fatalis, and White Fatalis.

Physiology: Dire Miralis is an extremely large, semi-aquatic dragon. His body structure is reminiscent of Fatalis, with relatively short limbs and a long tail and neck. His body is filled with a magma-like substance which pools at the base of the tail, chest, and each shoulder. Each of these pools direct magma flow to certain parts if his body. On his back are a pair of wing-like appendages. Seemingly useless in terms of flight, these "wings" feature cannon-like chutes which can extrude globules of magma, both as a means of defense and as a way of jettison excess magma. His head features a frill-like structure and an upturned snout.

Behavior: Similar to Fatalis and his relatives, Dire Miralis is extremely aggressive and territorial. Although he passively causes destruction wherever he goes, he is known to attack and sink islands for seemingly no reason.

Abilities: Dire Miralis is an amphibious dragon who mainly fights with the eruptions of magma-like fluid from his wing plates, as well as blasts of fire from his mouth. Because of his enormous size, Dire Miralis is also known use his own limbs and body to crush his foes. The temperature of his body and the fluid he produces is so high that his mere presence is often enough to boil the oceans he lives in, as well as kill all life unlucky enough to be in his vicinity. This allows him to single-handedly devastate ecosystems, turning them into barren, Tainted wastelands.

Why he is my favorite?
