I don't remember the exact details. It was something like this: Very large (1/4 mile long or so). "Flies" around space eating space- ships and other debris. Feeds on the debris by breathing a stream of anti-matter, causing a huge explosion which it absorbs with its large wings. If a person is hit by the breath, a saving throw is made. If the person fails he/she is instantly disintigrated, requiring 1-10 wishes to be cast simultaneously at the spot where is disintigration took place to bring the person back. If the saving throw is made, either: 1) the person is "blown" from 1-10 light years away from the dragon. 2) the person is disintigrated anyway. 3) nothing happens. 4) something else I don't remember. The Galactic Dragon has something like 473 hit dice and a few other abilities I can't recall off hand. One detail I do remember is that it can't come into the atmosphere of any planet because of the fragile wing structure. I found this creature in a "monster manual" of sorts a few years ago and is the largest, nastiest monster I have ever seen in print. -John -- cornell!lasspvax!johnsi
