D&D General Crown Chimeras

Twiggly the Gnome · Oct 27, 2021

I don't have meddlesome gods in my setting (religion is closer to the Eberron model), but I want to include some major figures that serve a somewhat similar role (something akin to 13th Age Icons). What I settled on were unique dragon+X beings I'm calling Crown Chimeras. I need some help with coming up with combos, so far I have:

Gold Dragon / Couatl
Silver Dragon / Unicorn
Blue Dragon / Sphinx
Black Dragon / Hag Coven (three heads; cyan, yellow and magenta)

Any other ideas?

Red Dragon/Beholder - for the dragon with an anti-magic cone and some eye rays.
White Dragon/Displacer Beast
Copper Dragon/Blink Dog

I particularly like this one, the thing that immediately came to mind was Falkor from The Neverending Story, but with coppery red fur.

Dracolich / Balor, for when one really bad day just isn't enough.

Might be overkill.

It does make me think, is a Dracolich already a chimera of a sort?

I don't think so, but one of your dragon chimeras could become a dracolich after the fact.

Green Dragon / Froghemoth whose breath creates lingering clouds of poison it can then tongue-pull victims into

...with apologies to your players.

I'd go with the Crowned Chimeric Wyrm

A gargantuan gold dragon + actual chimera

One head of a golden dragon, one roc head, one sphinx head (an 6 wings: 2 from each creature) and the tail is a coatl or naga.
