What other dragon lairs would you expect to see? Something cave-like probably?

A cave of some kind certainly, maybe one with active vulcanism that could be the lair of a fiery red dragon. A frost lair might contrast nicely with that; snow drifts, fog, and thin ice could all be ready challenges.

oops, lol.

That’s very cool! As someone adapting a long running Planescape campaign to Daggerheart, seeing creative ways to port over D&D monsters is very appealing to me. And monster design was one of my favorite aspects of 4e. I’d love to see any other examples you’re willing to share!

Here's a handful more examples, the Drakes and Hellmage were inspired by MV entries.

Messing around with faction-based design à la how 4e had templates and Flee Mortals etc does as well. I’ve got Wererats, Gnolls, Drakona Legionaries so far that all share some theming and synergy - what else would be useful? I’m thinking of trying to do factions with profile entries that scale from T1 - T3 so you can slot em in where your game needs, and they have a unified theme that reskins well.
