Pyraxion- red dragon guard

Physical Description:   Pyraxion, now trapped in a mortal form, appears as a towering figure of muscular build, his skin bearing a faint reddish hue reminiscent of his draconic heritage. He wears intricately crafted dwarven armor adorned with motifs of flames and scales, though the armor looks somewhat ill-fitted on his larger frame. Despite his humanoid form, his eyes still blaze with the fiery intensity of his draconic nature.   Fighting Strategy:   In his dwarven form, Pyraxion channels his inner rage into a relentless and savage fighting style. He wields a massive warhammer with ease, swinging it with brutal force to crush his enemies. Pyraxion prefers to engage foes head-on, using his strength and durability to withstand attacks while delivering devastating blows in return.
