Plagued Dragon

The Plagued Dragonflight began as an experiment within the depths of Scholomance. Originally intended to serve as a means to spread the Plague of Undeath even further, the Necromancers of the Cult bastion, working under Vectus, used black dragon eggs stolen from the Burning Steppes and mutated them, twisting their forms into plagued monstrosities.

The Argent Dawn, upon learning of the creation of these dragons, quickly organized groups of adventurers to enter the depths of Scholomance and end the threat that the Plagued Dragonflight posed before they could be unleashed on the world by the Cult of the Damned.

While the first Plagued Dragonflight was eliminated the idea was not abandoned entirely. During the Northrend Campaign it was revealed that Scourge Loyalists had created many Plagued Proto-Drakes which served the same purpose as the original Plagued Dragonflight, but worked on a much larger scale.
