“After our success at Gargantuan White, Arveiaturace, we knew we had a fan hit,” said Patrick O’Hagan, RPGs Production Manager at WizKids. “For our next dragon, we want to go BIG and bring out Balagos, the Flying Flame. Balagos is one of the most famous red dragons in the Forgotten Kingdom… posing the most fearsome threat to even the strongest of characters. “

In Dungeons & Dragons‘The Forgotten Realms’ default setting, Balagos is something of a tyrant, even by colored dragon standards. His unusual ideas about superhumans eventually led him to the conclusion that he would rule over all dragons and usher in the annihilation of humanity and the goblin races. So, you know, the perfect villain to knock out in front of your players with a loud and surprising noise.
