We tried a new scenario recently for
Oathmark. It was basically a meeting engagement, but when you arrive at the battlefield, you find a dragon slumbering between the opposing armies.
The drake would awaken if any unit moved or cast a spell too close to it, or if anyone attacked the sleeping beast. Once conscious, it would attack the closest unit in its line-of-sight or make a random move. This had us both literally tiptoeing around the middle of the battlefield.
Eventually we moved into combat with one another, and I had my archers shoot at the dragon to wake it up. This backfired eventually when the wyrm randomly turned and started focusing on my units.
One non-dragon highlight of the battle was when our heavy cavalry--mine led by a champion, his by a prince--met in combat, and we both rolled 10s on the Champion die, our leaders dying at each other's hand.
Even though the dragon decided to snack on my units, tipping the battle to my opponent, it was a fun time and a nice way to get such a creature on the board without unbalancing either side.
