Death Song

The Death Song is a Mystery Class dragon that is featured in Dreamworks Dragons: Race to the Edge. It was first revealed in the Dreamworks panel at Wondercon.

Abilities
The Death Song uses a siren-like song to lure it's prey. The secret behind this amazing feat is the Death Song's extra cervical vertebrate. When the Death Song calls, its extra vertebrae expand into its frills, and its song is able to be projected to specific targets up to a mile away. After striking its prey, the Death Song covers it in a yellow, liquid substance which traps and preserves victims as it hardens into a stiff amber cocoon. This cocoon is so strong, it is only penetrable by flame. Afterwords, the Death Song returns to finish it's prey off. It does this by breaking the prey out of the amber and then eating them.

Appearance
The Death Song's wings and head resemble that of a Thunderdrum. Its frill resembles that of a Stormcutter. It has a tail that is very reminiscent of a Monstrous Nightmare. It's body resembles that of a Timberjack, as it is very thin. The Death Song has the striking and bright colors of blue, yellow and orange on both its wings and its tail. The spines of the Death Song, which run all along its back, resemble those of a Stormcutter or a Skrill.

Behaviour
Death Songs are extremely solitary. This is most likely because of the fact that they will eat any dragon who gets too close to them. Their preferred prey is other dragons, but they aren't adverse to eating any unwary human who strays to close to their nests. Your best chance to defeat this dragon is to ride a Thunderdrum, which is mostly immune to the Death Song's song. This is because a Thunderdrum's hearing is so poor that they unable to hear their lullaby. Death Songs also struggle with small spaces, as they can be effected by the echo of their own song!
