High Dragons are female dragons that have survived the centuries required for full maturity.

From Codex entry: Dragon:
A fully mature adult female dragon is the high dragon: the great monster of legend, the rarest of all dragonkind. These dragons hollow out massive lairs for themselves, for they need the space to house their harem of drakes as well as their eggs and the dragonlings.
High dragons are seldom seen. They spend most of their time sleeping and mating, living off the prey their drakes bring back. But once every hundred years or so, the high dragon prepares for clutching by emerging from her lair and taking wing. She will fly far and wide, eating hundreds of animals, most often livestock, over a course of a few weeks and leaving smoldering devastation in her wake. She then returns to her lair to lay her eggs and will not appear in the skies again for another century.

When a very large creature (such as an Ogre or a Dragon) is killed in melee combat in Dragon Age Origins, there is a special "death blow" animation. Below, we have included stills from the death blow animation, as well as a video of combat with a High Dragon ending in the death blow animation (start watching around 5:10). The combat movie was recorded with a console cheat command that protects the warrior from being killed in order to demonstrate high dragon capabilities and the death blow animation.

The Bard's Tale - Dun Ailinne Treasure Map

Fantasy art from The Bard's Tale fantasy role playing game. This cutscene features dialogue from the Houton blacksmith concerning his treasure map. Although the Bard being scammed is entirely in keeping with the overall tone of the game world, the treasure map was in fact a good one, as Dun Ailinne hides, among other things, the Golden Spyglass, which increases all future treasure finds by 10%.
