D&D 5E (2024) What do people think of the new dragon designs?

[Wolfpack48]

Does anyone else think that dragons are secretly cats? No? Moving along...

We actually did get pictures of the updated designs for the other Chromatics.
Let me post them again.

Ooh, I never noticed how turtle-like the white dragon seems before. That's a neat detail.

Its tail attacks better to have the reach 40!

Hmm... If they're going to downplay the wings on the gold dragon, I'd honestly rather they just remove them entirely and go for the full serpentine, eastern dragon look.

All my gold dragons will now be getting a Tail Whip attack and a recharge attack called Searing Ribbon Dance.

The new gold dragon design is really good. It retains a lot of the old Lockwood design but gives it a new spin. And honestly it’s about time the dragons get a refresh. I love the og Todd Lockwood and Sam Wood dragons from the 3.0 MM and they’re obviously iconic, but it’s been 24 years… (Yes the green was different during 4e.)

Fun fact: I did actually cry when we were shown this dragon.
