This dragon (who is meant to be dreadful and may seem so to 5-year-old children) utters some words in a terribly bass voice.
Of course, the dragons had uttered a tribute at its passing.

Then the dragon uttered not a roar but a squeak.
The dragons uttered tribute.
The dragon uttered a word of power.
