Judging from her height, the death knight is a mummified remnant of a powerful warrior, though the flesh has mostly come free from her animated bones.  Now, her heavy armor is all that holds her skeletal form together.  Her neck ends in a jagged ruin, but over the shattered fragments of her spine hovers a bleached skull that is wreathed in azure flames.  Fires burn malevolently in the skull's empty sockets.

Appraisal:

The death knight is medium in size and about seven feet high in her current state.

Arrival

Headless, an infernal death knight marches in with martial precision.  An instant later, a yellowed skull soars through the air to hover above her bony neck.  Cerulean flames wreathe the skull and roar from its eye sockets, and the knight gives a satisfied nod.

Arrival 2

Her body pressed low to her mount, an infernal death knight charges into the area atop a smouldering skeletal dreadsteed.  Her flame-wreathed skull throws off sapphire cinders as she rides, drawing to a halt nearby with a savage tug of the reins.

Hunting Strategies

Death knights ride smouldering skeletal dreadsteed into combat.

Description

A skull soars in, wreathed in cerulean flames. Moments later, the death knight's body marches in after it, and the skull hovers into place over the neckpiece of the knight's armor.

Judging from her height, the death knight is a mummified remnant of a powerful warrior, though the flesh has mostly come free from her animated bones. Now, her heavy armor is all that holds her skeletal form together. Her neck ends in a jagged ruin and her head is completely missing.

Ability

An infernal death knight centers himself, the burning embers of his eyes dimming momentarily as he shakes free from his dazed state.
An infernal death knight reaches up with a skeletal hand and lifts his skull from where it hovers over the bony ruin of his neck.  The spectral flames wreathing it flare white hot as he hurls the skull away.  Without warning, it conflagrates violently, the hungry fire roaring outward in a great arc!
