Niv - Takes hits from Nephilim

The breath was cut short by the impact of a bulbous mass of tissue against the side of Niv-Mizzet’s head. The dragon recoiled, stunned, unable to pinpoint this second attacker before another projectile struck his left wing with frightening force. Crixizix and Niv-Mizzet spotted the fourth nephilim almost simultaneously. The tentacled beast tore loose another hunk of its own head—or more accurately one of the bulbous, eyelike spheres that covered it—and cast it with a snap. The dragon ducked, avoiding the projectile, and flapped mightily to regain the sky.
