Well, our dragon moves closer and closer to be finished, and so we move on to naming it. Be sure to visit this and this thread for discussing the dragon, and the process as a whole.

You can vote for multiple names.

Two thirds of all respondents vote for some variant of "rift dragon". (ok, so I voted for both, but hey )

Go Rift Dragon, go!

ahem...


Just a point of clarification: The Bag of Holding and Portable Hole descriptions both refer to stuff being "sucked into the void and forever lost". Could someone who has access to the MotP verify that the Void and the Astral Plane are one and the same thing?

And while you're at it... could you check whether the term "Astral Wind" has already been used? (If so, we should probably rename that ability for our dragon.)

"Many individuals pass through the Astral Plane without realizing it when they cast certain spells or use interplanar portals. They find themselves on the Astral Plane only when something goes wrong, such as a badly cast dimension door spell or a bag of holding stuffed into a portable hole. When something has to go somewhere else but has no other direction to go, it usually ends up on the Astral Plane."

There are Psychic Storms and Planar Winds exist, but no Astral Winds.

I voted rift and void, as non and un don't seem right.

I prefer rift though.

Rift Dragon and Astral Dragon would be good, but Astral Rift Dragon is one word too many.

I think Void Dragon is the best name it can have. After all, it is the concept of the beastie.

This thread needs a bump... especially since my favorite is running behind.

Actually, I would argue that this thread needs the bump. I'll do that now.

OK, let's wrap this up. Void Dragon wins, but Rift Dragon deserves a honorable mention.
