Hello everyone, it's time for another Survivor thread! As you already know, I'll be taking over the Survivor 5E Threads for a little while...so if you have any suggestions for upcoming topics, feel free to DM me.
-----
This thread is inspired by prior threads that we've done. And this time around, we are taking a look at a selection of "named" dragons in Dungeons & Dragons: dragons that are special and important enough to merit their own proper names.
I tried to keep it as edition-neutral and campaign-generic as possible, for obvious reasons (pick any of the following: we just finished an "edition war" thread and I don't want to rehash it; I didn't want a list of 200+ entries; this isn't another Dragonlance vs. Forgotten Realms contest; nobody cares about more than a dozen dragons anyway; etc.)
The Rules and Stuff
The Most Important Bits
Three important points that you must read before voting--
1. This is a pure popularity contest, and is meant to be fun. You can cast your votes for whatever reason you want; spite, irrational love or hatred, huge creature envy, gameplay mechanics, barometric pressure, coin flips, strategic voting, and so on are all perfectly acceptable. You can comment for the reasons for your vote, or not - up to you! But this is for enjoyment only.
2. This is a list of the most popular "named" dragons in the D&D canon. If a dragon was special enough to be given a proper name, and has a well-established place in the history of the hobby and the game lore, it probably made it to this list. But not every named dragon could be included, because the list would be over a hundred entries long and nobody has time for that. So I picked some dragons that I thought would make a fun list with interesting discussion. If your favorite was missed, I apologize.
3. As always, the list is the list. If you have a complaint about the list, please direct it to /dev/null.
So. Onward to the contest!

The Rules and Stuff
- Each dragon will start with 20 points.
- You vote for one dragon that you like, which gains 1 point. And then you vote for a different dragon that you dislike, which loses 2 points. It is intentional that a negative vote is worth more than a positive vote - first, because it takes something extra to whittle these guys down to size. Second, because.
- Upvotes are in green, and downvotes are in red (unless you are on your phone, and are unable to).
- Copy and paste the previous poster’s vote and change the numbers.
- You may vote once per day in each category. This is an honor system, and we are all honorable gamers; please do not abuse it. If this means you vote once at night one day, and once the next morning - that's fine, but don't vote again until the following day. Rule of thumb: if your most recent vote post says "yesterday" in the date tag, you can vote again.
