Zz'Pzora

Zz'Pzora was a two-headed deep dragon who lived near the drow city of Menzoberranzan in the Underdark. She was a friend of the wizard Liriel Baenre, and died helping Liriel fight a mercenary band in Skullport.

Description
Her most distinctive feature was her two, horned heads, the result of exposure to the faerzress of the Underdark. At roughly fifty feet in size, Zz'Pzora was smaller than most other deep dragons. Her scales were iridescent, glowing purple, and her wings were amethyst in color.

Personality
Zz'Pzora's two heads each had their own distinct personality. The left head longed for travel, adventure, and visiting cities both in the Underdark and on the surface. This head was somewhat flighty and vain, and prone to sudden bouts of sheer delight. The personality of the right head was more traditionally draconic, possessing a calculating, dry wit, and a love of treasure and solitude. The two heads were constantly at odds with each other, which gave Zz'Pzora's persona a tinge of madness and unpredictability.

Lair
Zz'Pzora's lair was located a handful of miles south of Menzoberranzan, in a hidden grotto that could only be accessed by navigating the side channels of the treacherous Cascades river. The difficulty of reaching her lair kept Zz'Pzora safe from the drow, despite her proximity to one of their major cities.

The grotto itself was riddled with smaller caves, and was suffused in powerful faerzress to the point that it said to be the most potent source of the magical radiation in the vicinity of Menzoberranzan. The magical radiation diminshed when Liriel Baenre removed the Banshee's Needle&mdash;a stone that served as the focal point of the faerzress in the area.

Relationships
She was good friends with Liriel Baenre, a free-spirited drow wizard who occasionally visited the dragon's lair, and affectionately referred to Zz'Pzora as "Zip". Though neither drow nor deep dragons were known for their honorable nature, the two enjoyed each other's company, if somewhat warily.

History
Zz'Pzora was a friend of the drow mage Liriel Baenre (who called her "Zip" and traded her scales to make money ). She lived in a faerzress-filled cave near Menzoberranzan known as Zz'Pzora's Lair, accessible only by a wild river or a steep vertical shaft.

In 1361 DR, Zz'Pzora died in a battle near Skullport, when she helped Liriel against another deep dragon Pharx, another deep dragon (whom she bedded before she fought) in the service of the Dragon's Hoard band. She was able to kill him, but was herself also mortally wounded.
