[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8831249, member: 79428"] 5E's also been inconsistent on what Tiamat's alignment is, with some statblocks labeling her as Lawful Evil and others as Chaotic Evil. Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes even states she is a force of Chaos bound in a plane of Law. I think it's simplest just to say that Tiamat and Takhisis are both aspects of the originally-featured Chromatic Dragon that effectively developed into different yet related entities. Maybe the Chromatic Dragon came first, is now gone, and Tiamat and Takhisis are essentially twins? EDIT: "Canon" in general is basically just Calvinball where what is the truth one day can be retconned the next by whoever has the authority to do so. For example, fhe Sonic the Hedgehog franchise in the last decade or so has went from "the setting is Earth" to "the setting of a game is either Earth or 'Sonic's World'', with humans only existing in the former, and there are also two dimensions where different games and sets of characters are canon" to "the setting is Earth and every game is canon, and also the newest comic series maybe".
