Huan'zhor the Dragonlord is the ruler of the Tree of the Wyrm in the Plane of Darkness.
Appearance[]
- An illustration of Huan'zhor is available at The Curse of Naar: §64.
Huan'zhor is a great dragon with scaly legs tipped with razor clawed talons. He can shoot bolts of flame from his mouth.[1]
His secret binding name is Zheva.[2][note 1]
History[]
Huan'zhor is a servant of Naar and has survived for a very long time. He has committed many acts of Evil in this period of time, and was rewarded with his own realm, the Tree of the Wyrm. He is the ruler of the Lavas, the Zarthyn and the Chugotha.
In MS 5077, Lone Wolf infiltrated the Plane of Darkness to recover the Moonstone and rescue Alyss. During this quest, he entered the Tree of the Wyrm, and depending on the actions of the player, may have fought Huan'zhor. If so, Lone Wolf escaped the fight by using his secret binding name, then entered a transporter to Shamath's realm.
In the gamebooks[]
In The Curse of Naar, Lone Wolf enters the Tree of the Wyrm.[3] Huan'zhor begins to approach, prompting Lone Wolf to search for the Scarab of the Wingless Dragon.
If he is successful,[4] Lone Wolf can escape into the transporter with the Scarab (recommended), or stay and hide.[5] If he stays, Huan'zhor will be fought, and if his Endurance points are brought to 20 or lower, Lone Wolf will use his binding name and escape into the transporter anyway.[6] Lone Wolf also has the option to evade the combat into the transporter. All three routes are functionally the same beyond this point, making the combat just a way to lose Endurance points.
If he is unsuccessful,[7] Lone Wolf must hide from Huan'zhor,[8] as entering the transporter without the Scarab results in death.[9] Huan'zhor will find Lone Wolf anyway, and the two will fight. If Lone Wolf reduces Huan'zhor's Endurance to 20 or lower, he then has the option to look for the Scarab again,[10] or jump into the transporter anyway (which still results in death).[9] If he looks for the Scarab, he will find it, and then escape through the transporter.[5]
In both cases, Huan'zhor's combat statistics are the same:
- Huan'zhor the Dragonlord
Combat Skill 56, Endurance 60
Immune to: Mindblast, Kai-surge, Kai-blast, Kai-ray
↪The Curse of Naar: §64/§185
A Blue Diamond increases the player's Combat Skill by 3 for this fight, and Skarn-Ska adds 2. The fight ends when Huan'zhor's Endurance falls to 20 or lower.
Notes[]
- ↑ In the original books, within the Tome of Darkness (§86), this was mistakenly written as "Zhula". However, if Lone Wolf uses this name to bind him, he says "Zheva" (§70/§344). In the Project Aon errata, this was corrected to "Zheva".
