About this vehicle

The arena burns. The crowd roars. The golden dragon waits. For centuries, this ancient guardian has watched countless battles unfold. It has seen many warriors rise to glory—and far more fade into obscurity. Weary after so many years unmatched in power, it seeks true champions—warriors whose strength and skill rival its own. When the smoke clears and the surviving heroes catch their breath among the fading embers, the dragon's gaze settles on a chosen few: those destined to inspire legends yet to come.
