**Description**: The Treaty Wyrm is a majestic dragon adorned with scales that shimmer like precious gems. Its origins stem from an ancient pact between powerful nations, serving as both a protector and enforcer of peace. The Wyrm prefers diplomacy over conflict but does not hesitate to unleash its wrath upon those who threaten the fragile balance it was born to uphold.

In combat, it employs tactical maneuvers, utilizing its breath weapon to control the battlefield while calling upon its allies to mend the wounds of war.
