Erol Otus drew art for Dave Hargrave's Arduin Grimoire (1977). Later on TSR staff, Erol drew the regional map for White Plume Mountain with the caption, "Beyond to the lair of Dragotha, the undead dragon, where fabulous riches and hideous death await." An electrifying bit of flavor!"

D&D lacked undead dragons in 1980. Erol added the caption as a nod to Arduin. The wraithe dragon appeared on wandering monster tables in the Arduin Grimoire (1977) and gets stats in volume 3 (1978). In 1999, Bruce Cordell wrote the 2nd-edition adventure Dragotha's Lair for the RPGA.
