Yahgrondu was a dragon whose name meant "Seek-Bind-Devour" in the Dragon Language.[1][2][3]
At some point, before the foundation of the Dragonguard Yahgrondu ran afoul of a powerful Dragon hunter. Nahfahlaar found him injured and cornered, and offered his aid. In exchange, Nahfahlaar demanded that Yahgrondu repay his debt in the future. Yahgrondu was obligated to repay his debt through sosmir, the blood allegiance, and vowed to assist Nahfahlaar in his hour of need. Yahgrondu remained hidden for generations and was not discovered by the Dragonguard.[4]
In 2E 582, Nahfahlaar, who allied himself with the Dragonguard against Laatvulon, informed his mortal allies of Yahgrondu and their pact, but he wasn't sure where his associate was located. Clan Mother Tadali of the Khenarthi's Breath Temple offered her assistance and performed a divination ritual. She told the Dragonguard that Yahgrondu was located somewhere with an abundance of limestone, inside a coastal cave.[5] When she was done, Nahfahlaar arrived and informed the Dragonguard members of a limestone quarry south of the temple, that had been overrun by the Order of the New Moon. By the time the Dragonguard arrived at the limestone mine, Laatvulon was already in the depths of the mine, attempting to convince Yahgrondu to join him. Yahgrondu refused, which provoked Laatvulon to attack him. By the time the Dragonguard members had reached Yahgrondu, he was already dead. Laatvulon then commanded his dragon priest Ra'khajin to raise Yahgrondu's corpse from the dead with the power of the aeonstone, turning Yahgrondu into an undead monstrosity.[6][7][8] The Vestige of the Dragonguard, however, managed to kill the risen corpse of the Dragon.[9]
It is unknown whether Yahgrondu's soul was devoured by Laatvulon or not, and as such, it is unknown whether or not Yahgrondu was killed permanently.[10][11] Ra'Khajin only animated the corpse of the dragon, not his soul.[8][12][13]
