When wyrm blood simmers beneath knightly discipline.

This draconic champion embodies controlled fury through that closed-mouth angry expression—six horns crown reptilian features where sharp teeth barely show, suggesting breath weapon held ready rather than unleashed. Detailed scales transform the entire head into living armor, while that contained rage communicates something more unsettling than roaring: this dragon-blooded knight chooses restraint, making the eventual release exponentially more devastating. The six horns radiate draconian nobility without theatrical excess, maintaining enough humanoid structure for civilized warfare while projecting unmistakable predator heritage.

Those scales deserve gradient techniques showing metallic dragon heritage through bronze, copper, or brass sheens, or chromatic ancestry via vibrant reds, blues, greens. The six horns want individual character—polished to points for pristine pride, battle-scarred for veteran status, or carved with clan symbols. Sharp teeth visible at mouth edges need careful painting emphasizing predatory threat barely contained. That angry expression benefits from narrowed reptilian eyes suggesting cold calculation behind hot rage. Consider subtle effects like heated scales or barely-visible glow at nostrils hinting at elemental power.

Perfect for paladin-warriors balancing draconic power with knightly oaths, wyrmkin nobles who earned respect through discipline, or champions where monstrous heritage strengthens rather than compromises honor. Works brilliantly for controlled fury rather than explosive rage.

Because the most dangerous dragons are the ones who learned patience.
