Dragons are very powerful, magical creatures, usually resembling great, winged reptiles. Dragons are an ancient race. Few species that still exist can claim longer lineage.
The third edition of Dungeons & Dragons (as well as 3.5) classified dragon as a type of creature, simply defined as, "a reptilelike creature, usually winged, with magical or unusual abilities." The dragon type is broken down into two broad classifications:
- True dragons: Dragons which increase in power by age categories (wyrmling to great wyrm). All chromatic, metallic, and gem dragons are considered true dragons, as are Greyhawk dragons and the "lung" dragons of Oriental Adventures.
- Lesser dragons: These dragons do not advance via age categories and may lack all the abilities of true dragons. Examples of lesser dragons include dragon turtles, wyverns, drakes, felldrakes, elemental drakes, landwyrms, linnorms, pseudodragons, faerie dragons, and wurms.
Ecology
Environment
Dragons can be found in nearly any environment, but most species limit themselves to a select number of climates and terrains. Black dragons, for instance, are seldom found outside of swamps and other wetlands, while white dragons prefer arctic environments.
Typical physical characteristics
True dragons are usually winged, reptilian, four-legged beasts, which often grow to enormous size, their abilities improving with age. Most also exhibit some sort of breath weapon, such as fire, frost, or acid.
There are several types of dragons, the most common being chromatic and metallic dragons, which tend to be evil and good, respectively. Metallic dragons include brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver. Chromatic dragons include black, blue, green, red, and white.
Most lesser dragons are also of reptilian appearance, though other features vary.
Alignment
Dragon alignment varies with species. Metallic dragons tend to be good, gem dragons tend to be neutral, and chromatic dragons are usually evil.
Society
Religion
There is an entire pantheon of draconic deities. However, it is very uncommon to have dragon priests, though it does happen.
"Dragons view the primordial dragons differently. To metallic dragons, Bahamut is more like a king than a god. Individual dragons might owe Bahamut allegiance, respect him, pay tribute to him, and strive to emulate him. Similarly, chromatic dragons might fear, respect, envy, and appease Tiamat as a sovereign. But none of those attitudes and behaviors bear any resemblance in a dragon’s mind to the worship that mortals offer to their gods."[1]"
Mortals (demihumans and humanoids) may sometimes worship these draconic deities, but dragons view them similarly to Tiamat and Bahamut
"A few other dragons also command reverence from their kin. These are often greatwyrms who have undergone a sort of apotheosis, joining multiple echoes of themselves into a single powerful form. A few are ancient dragons who have cultivated their dragonsight to such a degree that they can coordinate the actions of their echoes across the Material Plane, influencing events on multiple worlds at once. Humanoids might consider these dragons gods, but as with Bahamut and Tiamat, dragons respect these figures for their wisdom, their might, their magic, and their wealth; they don’t worship them. Such enlightened dragons include:"[1]"
- Aasterinian (a brass dragon who serves as a messenger for Bahamut and is sometimes identified as a god of invention)
- Chronepsis (a black dragon who now resides in the Outlands, sometimes imagined as a god of fate)
- Tamara (a silver dragon of transcendent beneficence, described as a god of life).
Creation Myth
2021's Fizban's Treasury of Dragons presents descriptions of how the various settings, or "myriad worlds of the Material Plane", explain the creation of the multiverse. The creation mythos of the draconic pantheon is discussed and is presented for each setting.
"Myths concerning the creation of Oerth (home to the Greyhawk setting) are few and often contradictory. Still, a number of those myths mention the dragon gods—or a single draconic creator, Io, who shed his own blood to inspire creation. Dragons have been reclusive and rare for most of Oerth’s recorded history, but ancient annals of the Suel Imperium record that that empire created the mighty Orbs of Dragonkind for use in a war against a powerful cabal of shadow-wielding red dragons."[2]"
Language
The language of dragons is known as Draconic and is also spoken by other reptilian, non-draconic creatures, such as kobolds and lizardfolk. Prior to third edition, most dragon species had their own languages.
History
Notable dragons
Oerth has several notable dragons, including:
- Aestrella Shanfarel, a Greyhawk dragon living in the Free City of Greyhawk.
- Auruma, a gold dragon living in the Grandwood Forest.
- Brazzemal the Burning, an ancient male red dragon once lairing in the Hellfurnaces, but most recently living in the Wormcrawl fissure.
- Clonoc, a copper dragon.
- Dragotha, a mighty red dragon dracolich believed to lair in the Wormcrawl Fissure.
- Edwina, a female pseudodragon, familiar of Jallarzi Sallavarian.
