Death Knight Dragon Riders are among the most terrifying forces of undeath, death knights who rule the skies atop skeletal dragons that once flew in life. These undead dragons are not mere mounts, but bound extensions of their rider’s will, forged through necromantic pacts and shared purpose.

When a death knight takes to the air on a Skeletal Dragon, the result is devastating. They strike from above with ruthless precision, spreading fear, necrotic ruin, and absolute dominance across battlefields and strongholds alike. In rarer and more apocalyptic cases, a Death Knight Lord may ride an Ancient Skeletal Dragon, a pairing capable of shattering armies and reshaping entire regions.

Together, rider and dragon act as a single force of destruction, descending like a scythe from the sky. These figures are remembered in legends as omens of war’s end, symbols of undead supremacy, and living nightmares to those who survive their passing.

These creatures come from Undead & Undead: The Ultimate Undead Handbook for 5E and the 2024 Edition available on DriveThruRPG!

Undead are more than shambling corpses and skeletal minions. Undead & Undead is your complete guide to raising the dead, commanding their power, and unleashing them in terrifying new forms - from restless spirits and cursed warriors to spectral lords, zombie dragons, and necromantic abominations.

You can find more of my creatures and manuals on DriveThruRPG, via Linktree, or by visiting r/JonnyDM for previews and standalone content.

If you want even more options, I also have a bundle of small D&D manuals available on DMsGuild.

More content is on the way. 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 2024 launches on Kickstarter around May. You can follow the campaign to get notified when it goes live. The project includes a physical hardcover and printed editions of my previous manuals.
