[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 8308686, member: 1125"] I‘ve used fairy dragons and sea dragons as well as wyverns (animals not dragons), but true Dragons are legendary elemental creatures, inscrutible threats and virtually god-like beings ie Dragons should be epic and terrifying bosses that define a campaign and a heroes whole career. Because of that I’ve only used one battle against a true dragon which I constructed as a battle across a whole lair with the actual dragon needing to be targeted in four zones (wings, claws, body/tail, head) - flight, lair actions and spells, fire and poison should all be used to get a TPK:). I do have other Dragon NPCs in the setting eg The largest city in my world Bishnagar is named for the dragon living under it who controls the Bishnagar Merchant Bank. Celestial Dragons dwell in the Astral Realms of Ti’an (I merged Silvers/Golds with Radiant/Celestial dragons and gave them the form of Oriental dragons) The Grand Heirophant of the Celestial Hierarchy in Al-Qahira is a Song Dragon attended by Song dragons in human form. There are also Rainbow (Prismatic) Dragons in the Mountains of the Moon, home of the Rain Queen. [/QUOTE]
