D&D 5E Fizban's Treasury Dragons Ranked By Challenge Rating

WotC has been sending out previews of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, due out next month, to folks on Twitter. Amongst those are art pieces and other items.

By Challenge Rating the dragons in the book are:

• Ancient crystal (19)
• Ancient topaz (20)
• Ancient emerald (21)
• Ancient moonstone (21)
• Ancient sapphire (22)

• Ancient dragon turtle (24)
• Gem greatwyrm (26)
• Chromatic greatwyrm (27)
• Metallic greatwyrm (28)

There's also an alphabetical list of all 20 dragon types in the book:

• Amethyst
• Black
• Blue
• Brass
• Bronze
• Copper
• Crystal
• Deep
• Dragon turtle
• Emerald

No, but there was a dessert dragon, which is what happens when a halfling dreams about dragons and pastries.

There is also the woolly blue dragon, for when androids dream of electric sheep.

CR 8 Eyedrake (basically when a beholder dreams of a dragon and produces this hybrid as offspring)

Sounds awesome. I hope that they do more stuff like this in the future (making stat blocks for creatures that Beholders have dreamed into existence).

I'd love to see what happens when Beholders start obsessively dreaming of Angels.

Guillermo del Toro has got you covered...

Did WotC hint that we'll have enough unique dragons to round out those 70 stat blocks, be they deific aspects or epic individuals? Because I hope they throw in a bonus and give us a high CR Demodragon.

They did mention that some dragon gods in previous editions are great wyrms in this edition (and named two of them), however they did not say they would be stated in the book.
I think Demodragon is unlikely, but you never know!

Gem Great Wyrm.

I dunno of Fairie Dragons will get Age categories: they are getting Lore and random tables, remains to be seen what they get. Even assuming they do, that barely gets us halfway.

I thinkbI heard somewhere that Faerie Dragons will, but I don't remember where. What I want though is a Faerie Dragon Swarm.

I don't like seeing Dragon Gods getting demoted.

Oh god no. One faerie dragon is already enough of a pain in the ass.

This one I like actually. I like that they have power similar to gods, but are different. It stems from my BECMI days when dragons where treated differently than gods (at least initially). I like that idea that as a dragon ages it become more and more powerful until it reaches god-like status.

But I understand why you might not like it. It just happens to fit my preferred dragon fiction better.
