Vermatrix Goldenhide

One of the Elder Powers that came from the same primordial seed as Wahooka. She is the leader of the Great Dragons. She loves and collects gems.

Her pupils are the shape of red diamonds as large as a horse's head, spaced a full lance length apart. Unbelievably large and terriby thin, with ribs as large as a man's height visible along her torso. Her scales could not be removed by tools, but only with her own claw.

She was imprisoned by Throgs. A shaman broke the key in two. Drake found the pieces and with the help of Sardin he freed her.

The following centuries she movies to a cave with a hoard of gems and hatching an egg. Wahooka visited her promising a brooding-gift. Always untrustful and cautious of the Trickster, she thought he was preparing something against her to get hands on her gems. She started hunting Wahooka and his horse, Crusher. He rode to the cave exit and Vermatrix's head crushed the makeshift gate stop, causing the gate to fall on her head. Wahooka repeted his request that he only wants some of her scales to save the kingdom. She gave him a part of her claw so that he can remove as much as he wanted.
