D&D General Companion Thread to D&D Survivor: Dragons, Chromatic

Though not official Dungeon Dad updated several of the chromatic dragons to 5e

In reading the yellow dragon versions in 1E, 2E, and 3.0E/3.5E, they look to be mechanics updates of the original 1E version; the 4E Draconomicon doesn't have a Yellow Dragon. Is there something I missed?

theres the yellow (salt) dragon from DRAGON #65 who live by the sea and breath a cone of sodium chloride crystals
then 2e had a desert dwelling yellow dragon that breathed a blast of super-heated air and sand which appeared in the 1990 Dracomonicon

I don't own the MCs, so the write-up I saw online must have had someone's homebrew update of the salt dragon. Apologies! Too late for the poll, but I'll update my blog list!

Would the two dragons from Dragon #96 fit there?

I could put them, sure -- they're currently in the Renegade Dragons category, but that group is huge. And that might put some dragons people actually care about in that poll!

Also, Matt Colville has made changes to the gemstone dragons in one of his books, but I haven't included them because: 1) they're supposed to be updates of the existing gemstone dragons, even if he's made minor changes to them; 2) it would be really confusing to have two separate gemstone dragon groups.

deep dragons (purple dragons in 4E)

I'm kind of hoping the Deep Purple Dragons will have smoke breath weapons that can only be used when they fly over water - and that a booming yet simple bass line accompanies the attack...

The Blue Oyster Dragon would have a necrotic breath weapon, but it's nothing to be afraid of. His Cultists would all have cowbells for holy symbols.

Now I'm kind of wanting a "Dragons of Dragon" one... because Quasar Dragon was the best!

This one?

This one?

That would be it! Greatest stat-block ever. (I will understand if it is judged inappropriate for being in the poll).

I am currently finishing up a5E version of that guy. Will be posting to the blog this week.
