"You must forgive me for not knowing anything about you, but I've been so out of touch. I am Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco. You may call me Mist. And I'll call you… supper? Yes, it's about time for a light, early supper. So nice of you to deliver yourself."

- Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco

Description
Mistinarperadnacles was an ancient dragon with an appropriate size of almost  from head to tail's end.

Personality
Though she ate living creatures and kept a hoard of a treasure that she coveted like any other red dragon, she didn't enjoy killing just for the sake of killing or the joy of inspiring terror. She also valued entertainment more than her gold, gems, and magic.

Abilities
Mist's ancient hide was impervious to normal missiles and as a red dragon, she was immune to fire damage.

History
Mistinarperadnacles' first recorded appearance in history was as part of the Flight of Dragons, though she didn't have anything to do with Syluné Silverhand's death personally. She also accompanied Thauglor to The Passing of Power in. She fled in terror when Thauglor's throat exploded.

Mist learned that destruction on such a scale was not the way she liked to do things. She retreated to a lair in the Storm Horns, killing the younger, male red dragon to whom it belonged. From that base she launched attacks on merchants heading from Suzail to Waymoot for food and treasure for her hoard.

On one of these caravans traveled a halfling bard named Olive Ruskettle. Mist would let her live as long as she could keep Mist entertained. Ruskettle was rescued by a tattooed swordswoman called Alias in a Feint of Honor in which she only narrowly defeated the dragon. Mist vowed to kill Alias despite the rules of the challenge but never saw her again.

Mist did find Ruskettle again, under the protectorship of a saurial paladin named Dragonbait. He challenged her to another feint of honor. Mist was defeated again but as she had nothing to lose she was instead required to aid the pair to defeat the Avatar of Moander. The trio met the god in Westgate. He had taken the form of a huge mass of rotting vegetation and Mist had been badly beaten by the deity. She used her fire breath on Moander which ignited the flammable gases given off by his rotting body. The blast destroyed Mist and Moander's avatar.

Mist's skull was later used by Victor Dhostar of the Night Masks as a scrying device and adviser. However, it seems that later it was also destroyed.
