[Written] Monstrous Beauty - Draconymph Archetype

[Malacoda-Eviltail]

A lovely little troupe based on the mythological Dracanae (beautiful women with the lower halves of dragons and/or serpents), these femme fatales serve to empower their mighty Queens who, in turn, spawn forth monstrous offspring for specific needs. Although one of the names of the members may be a bit off-putting for those of mythological knowledge like I, but I digress. As such, cricitisms, thoughts, opinions and such are all welcomed.
