[QUOTE="Samloyal23, post: 6487469, member: 21432"] D&D dragons have started to bore me, I think the colour-coded thing just rubs me the wrong way. So, for my new setting, I am working on some ideas to make them different... [B]Forest Dragons--[/B] Live in the western areas of the Last Lands near Aldea and Ys, only dwell in thickly forested areas of old growth, smaller than most dragons but possessing druidical magic. They are adept at shape-changing, being able to use Wild Shape as a druid with their HD. Their scales resembles leaves from a distance, making them harder to spot among trees. They are fully amphibious and frequently live under ponds. Their breath is a venomous cloud of poison that can linger in the air around them. [B]Earth Dragons-- [/B]Subterranean beasts with six-legged bodies of stone, these enormous monsters live along ley lines, usually underneath mountains. They are known to cause earthquakes and some blame the the great Cataclyms on them. Their breath is a choking cloud of dust that petrifies those who inhale it and they have access to many elemental spells of Earth. They can merge with earth and stone to swim through it freely. They consume organic matter without discrimination along with rare gems and metals. Their claws and teeth are made of diamonds and their blood is molten lava.
