  This dragon was secretly responsible for the feud between dragons and people. It used its commanding presence to order other dragons to attack nearby villages and raid their supply of food. This dragon is so engorged on power that by the time humans invaded the land the Red Death had to shatter its mountain home in order to defend the island. Similar to the Bewilderbeast it has the power to emit a homing signal which summons other dragons to its lava nest. This call is made by a combination of sub-vocal ululation and the fearsome stare of its many eyes. Including the fact that The Red Death has magma-proof skin and a vacuum mouth. 

The Red Death does not actively hunt, but it has its food delivered to it by other dragons in the nest, acting similar to a brood parasite. It will eat any dragon that does not bring sufficient food. These big beasts live in volcanoes which is where most dragon nests are built.

 All dragons have a blind spot. Except this one. Instead of two the Red Death has six eyes. Its entire body is heavily armored with horns and a coral-like frill, enabling the titanic beast to perforate, pierce, and demolish enormous rock cliffs of the volcano and smaller mountains entirely. Its thick hide and sheer size allows it to overcome plenty of catapults, several of a Night Fury's plasma blast and various physical blows from other dragons. Not only with brutal, destructive power, the queen of dragons has been shown to have an incredible stamina in flight despite its tremendous size. This gigantic dragon is able take many attacks from other dragons, a boulder from a catapult, throwing wooden-like spears, getting hit in the eyes, a Night Fury's plasma blast attack, and being able to take the damage from crashing into the sea stacks.

  According to legend This ultimate monster lives 2,000 years and before they die, they lay 3,000 eggs. The hatchlings fight each other to the death, a process that can take up to 100 years, until only one survives. 

Like other dragons, the Red Death can't hunt efficiently if its wings are damaged and it's just as susceptible to fire on its insides. A single well-timed and precise fire blast can cause its gas chambers to explode.
