D&D dragons have started to bore me, I think the colour-coded thing just rubs me the wrong way.
So, for my new setting, I am working on some ideas to make them different...
Forest Dragons-- Live in the western areas of the Last Lands near Aldea and Ys, only dwell in thickly forested areas of old growth, smaller than most dragons but possessing druidical magic. They are adept at shape-changing, being able to use Wild Shape as a druid with their HD. Their scales resembles leaves from a distance, making them harder to spot among trees. They are fully amphibious and frequently live under ponds. Their breath is a venomous cloud of poison that can linger in the air around them.
Earth Dragons-- Subterranean beasts with six-legged bodies of stone, these enormous monsters live along ley lines, usually underneath mountains. They are known to cause earthquakes and some blame the the great Cataclyms on them. Their breath is a choking cloud of dust that petrifies those who inhale it and they have access to many elemental spells of Earth. They can merge with earth and stone to swim through it freely. They consume organic matter without discrimination along with rare gems and metals. Their claws and teeth are made of diamonds and their blood is molten lava.
Storm Dragons-- Huge grey and white, sessile beasts with two legs, vast wings and multiple heads, storm dragons are perpetually surrounded by mist that hides their forms. Their breath is a freezing tornado and their flesh is shot through with sparks of electricity. They dwell entirely in the sky, building lairs out of magical storms. Their floating, mountainous cloud lairs drift across the sky leaving behind floods, hail, and ruin.
Deep Dragons-- Vast aquatic monsters with long necks and finlike legs, they have rippling, gelatinous flesh that resembles that of a jelly fish, being translucent and glowing faintly from within. Their breath is a stream of dark water that chills the flesh and drains away the life energy of a victim. Two long tentacles sprout from their shoulders, each ending in a mass of stinging suckers.
Inferno Dragons-- Covered in scales made of obsidian with breath of clinging flame that sticks to its victims, the inferno dragon loves nothing more than starting fires. Living in volcanic caves, they come out to hunt and start conflagations, watching forests and cities burn with delight. Their flesh is searingly hot and they are continually wreathed in flames and smoke.
