If you throw the young dragon at the party when they're too low level, it can just decide the PCs aren't worth their time (or flee if reduced to half HP). The next time, the party should be powerful enough to face it, but it still might be able to flee before being slain. Once the party eventually slays the young dragon, its elder sibling could take over the roll, repeating the same cycle. Once the adult is dead, then Mom comes into the equation, who's going to be VERY unhappy with the PCs killing two of her children. This allows the dragon family to be the longstanding villains, and most things I think you might do with a single dragon could be done just as easily with the family.Edit: I just thought of something as well: if you want to make a single dragon "stronger" over a period of encounters, you could just raise its maximum HP between each. It won't make the attacks or damage stronger, but would allow it to fight longer.</blockquote>
