I want to believe that that dragon is the size of a rat and sits together in a lab cage with a rat that has an ear growing on his back,
This thing looks wicked. Is there any lore as to some of its design elements?
This thing is a monster from D&D called an "Elder Brain Dragon," recently published for 5th Edition in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. It's basically created when a colony of mindflayers somehow manages to capture a dragon & bind it down. The colony's Elder Brain leaves its brine pool & latches onto the dragon's back with its tendrils, digging them into the creature's brain, therefore taking over the dragon's mind & body completely.
No longer bound to the brine pool, the Elder Brain can now take greater command of the mindflayer colony as a physical presence, combining the dragon's physical might with its own psionic powers. An Elder Brain Dragon also has an augmented breath weapon that, instead of a line or cone of elemental energy, takes the form of a stream of briny, liquid filled with mindflayer tadpoles. These tadpoles are much more aggressive than their pool-bound brethren, & can quickly kill & transform victims into more mindflayers.
This one appears to be an Elder Brain that's taken over a Black Dragon, which you can tell by both the scale coloration & the shape of its horns.
