Oh...man...this MM is going to be awesome.

 

[Charlaquin]

The blue is definitely my favorite of the redesigns. The lightning along the spine is incredibly cool.

 

[Vaalingrade]

Man, I'd love to play that game.

 

[MonsterEnvy]

Might as well post the rest of the images that person on a different forum dropped.

The last one they posted was from Fizbans so the redesign was in progress for a while.

 

[RoughCoronet0]

This is my favorite of the group!

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

I love those new dragons. I'd just remove the fore legs of those with hands on their wings (blue and white) and the back legs on the more serpentine ones (black and green).

But the wing design are top notch.

If you remove the forelegs they are Wyverns not proper dragons. The Blue also explicitly burrows.


My personal opinion on the Dragons is that I like them all a fair amount, though I personally would change the Black’s wings a bit. The Red is the least changed, but it’s design was already very iconic and solid.

Maybe that's it, though: Legendary Actions are quite good, but they didn't quite go far enough to make for proper Solo monsters. Hence we have Theros' Mythic Actions. But do we need two ways to model Solos? Maybe so, maybe not.

Perhaps they've come up with a fusion or alternate idea that they'd like to run past us.

Legendary actions are great, but they really need to be able to spend one to use a reaction ability, even if an effect is depriving them of their reaction or they’ve already used it. Among other things.

that isn’t any kind of actual thing. plenty of legendary and fantasy dragons have 4 limbs.
