Dragons

>>53254943
Depends on the dragon, more or less they fall in line with their scale color but there are outliers.

>>53254943
Ah, the overly-cheerful adventurer and the overweight dragoness. My favorite fairytale.

Largely mythical, and evil. It's possible to become a dragon through immense greed - it's a painful slow transformation that starts with patches of scale growing through your skin, madness and anti-social behavior.

If your horrible deformed body doesn't succumb to a mob of pitchfork and torch peasants as you flee the city, eventually you will fully turn into a roughly horse-sized dragon.

Dragons hoard gold because they're the embodiment of greed, even after the gold ceases to have any use to them.

I like them being crazy powerful, but being far too autistic and obsessive to really be off serious danger or concern to people most of the time. I especially like it when dragons have ultra goofy, hyper specific items or creatures like pic related

>>53254943
All the dragons in my setting are empty bodies controlled by a queen. This applies also for kobolds - think buggers from Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead.

>>53254943
My least favorite is the generic "it's a winged lizard that mid level parties fight". I generally prefer them to be rare and powerful, but I'm fine with a wide variety within those parameters.

In the setting I'm working on, dragons are immensely terrifying creatures capable of leveling cities, each the personification of the seven sins, with drakes embodying only single sins. This isn't to say that they're /evil/, just very much swayed by their nature and urges. So a Parthunax-type is possible, if you really want, but for the most part they serve as threats to entire kingdoms.

>>53254943
I like the idea of dragons as a metaphor for taking a quality that is effective in moderation too far, as they are presented in Beowulf or Tolkien. For example, Beowulf's dragon is like a bad king - it hoards all the money for itself using its physical might. Kings are supposed to be rich and mighty, but not just to sit on it being a rich and powerful good for nothing bastard.

I like variety, but for the large and complete Capital-D Dragons? I prefer them to remain individuals of extreme importance to the campaign. Kind of like an Onyxia BBEG. Extremely full of themselves with severe personality flaws but certainly able to plot and make conversation and impact nations when they get motivated to actually make a non-apathetic attempt of something. Having rivalries with each other makes a good balancing factor to push some to subtlety.

Gargantuan miles-long napalm-spewing lizard-centipedes that store thousands of basketball sized winged drakes in pockets on their backs. Because if your giant living natural disaster can be killed without using a shitload of heavy artillery, then you're doing it wrong, or your setting is mostly at a lower power level and you don't want civilization to be totally fucked forever, which is reasonable, but I also think my way is pretty cool.

>>53254943
I prefer my dragons to start out as heartless, cannibalistic, reptilian worms that develop into dragons over a century (if they survive) and then develop sapience after another century or two.

Good or evil is up to the individual dragons.

Always thought dragons were over-rated.

Each dragon is a unique, boss-level kaiju, like the tarrasque but (mostly) smaller. Only rumors in a given dragon's desolation will give any hint to its appearance and behavior, and that doesn't give much clue on how to fight it. None of this "black scales -> let's all cast acid resistance" garbage. That takes away the power, mystery, and majesty* of a dragon and reduces it to a statblock. Pic related.

*("Guy wouldn't know majesty if it hit him in the face!" "That happened once!")

Source on those dragons anon?

Creatures on the level of natural disasters that are only talked about in myth and rumor, the party never meets or fights them, but if they're lucky enough they might spot one flying in the distance, or if they're unlucky enough one might fly directly over them and fuck them over with hurricane-like winds. They can also see evidence of dragons all over in their travels, like craters or claw marks on mountains or unnatural lakes, or bones.

They're sapient and intelligent, but their intelligence is alien to mortal races. They would be capable of speech if they ever bothered learning, but they're solitary creatures so they never had a language or need for one. They can instinctively do the complex math required for powerful magic, in that sense they're like biological computers.

That's how I ran them in the last setting I did that had dragons. Basically background fluff and not something for the party to meet.

>>53261119
>bad guy with a loyal female or submissive male dragon
I prefer full on LOYALTY in such cases, stemming not from pure power but from a long cooperation towards a common goal (which might be already achieved and the dragon just stuck around) or a trade. The dragon will still obey without question, but they still have their pride, more so in public.

The Elder Dragons are fallen angels who killed their pantheon so they could rule without their interference. As they bred amongst themselves, the dragons grew lesser, with smaller and smaller sparks of divinity within them. They're nigh unto immortal, so breeding became a sort of sin to them; why create lesser copies of our majesty? As such there are only five generations of dragon, with the lastmost being basically human in intelligence, though still incredibly magical

>>53254943
Many subspecies. Most range fall into the 'clever animal' category but some of the rarer types are fully sapient.

Personality wise they're all big largely solitary predators so they tend not to be friendly but also smart enough to try not to piss off other sapients as one of the few things that could pose a real threat to their long lives. However they're also all individuals so exceptions of all types exist.

basicly, I prefer the overlap with demons and other spiritual beings, while being quite human in their essence.
They often live solitary since they are literally autistic, and have obsessions with specific things.
I prefer unorthodox arstethics, like covered in feathers and fur or looking like amphibs at time, while having some physiological traits similiar to humans, such as dexterous hands with thumbs and a similiar brain structure.
and they are, due to their magical genetic material, quite the xenophiles. That's were the myth comes from that many strong warriors and wizards are born with dragon blood

silver dragons make the best waifus

Officially, the average dragon is much smarter and wiser than all but the smartest and wisest of humans.

Now, think back to when you were a kid. A lot of the time, what adults (who were much smarter and wiser than yourself) did didn't make any real sense to you, right? Well, it's pretty much that way when you try to understand why the average dragon does what they do. They have their reasons, and they seem to be good reasons to them, even if they're completely nonsensical to you.

But what DO they do? "Whatever they want," predominantly. The 'hoarding' behavior many (if not practically all) of them exhibit is a quirk of their psychology. Dragons are as much magic as they are natural, and because of that, a lot of what they are and what they do doesn't necessarily make sense. Hell, that's pretty much the definition of magic: Stuff that doesn't make sense. Why it got codified into the specific instance of "Dragons hoard shit" is like asking why rain forms puddles- it's just a natural result of how magic interacts with the rest of the world.

Dragons aren't actually prone to hoarding gold or wealth any more than they are anything else, it's just that that's the most captivating and consequently the most retold kind of thing that some of them collect. Others collect books, or insects, or wings from various flying creatures (not the entire creatures, just the wings,) or writing implements, or neat-looking rocks, or any one of a million other 'mundane' things. But those aren't interesting to talk about or tell stories about, so the dragons who collect stuff like gold and jewels are the ones who get talked about the most.

>>53254943
In my setting they used to be sentient, once. Their ancient civilization developed powerful magic, got greedy, and tried to invade Hell to reach Limbo, kill Death, and become immortal.
The forces of Hell were pissed, and Celestials weren't very happy either (this war also led to the creation of Inevitables). They begrudgingly teamed up and completed a ritual to strip dragons of their sentience and magic.
Now dragons are huge and mindless beasts, though some powerful dragon mages have managed to hide in the distant corners of reality. Kobolds, their once slave race, have inherited their blood and sentience, but they won't follow in dragonkind's footsteps anytime soon.

Case of misunderstanding.

People don't know that dragons and dragons are very different from each other.

Dragons are wild feral magical monsters. And dragons are strange shapeshifting humanoid magicians that can transform into dragons. But since dragons like to stay in the shadows they don't go around explaining the regular folks the difference between dragons and dragons.

>>53254943

Like a big, stupid, friendly, dog that doesn't know it's too big for the shit it's pulling. Tries to play with the townfolk, and destroys the town. Keeps eating out fucking livestock and acting like it has no idea what you're talking about, despite clearly having goat fur around its maw.

You try to take out with a catapult, but the stupid fucking dragon catches the boulder with its mouth and drops it in front of the catapult and waits expectantly.

In the end you're going to have to gather anything valuable and shiny (It actually ignores and snorts at anything that isn't valuable because it's a big, bourgeoisie, stupid, animal) and throw it in a big pile in a cave, and it might nap for a century.

Fucking dragons.

I like dragons to be relative shadows of their past mythical selves, somewhat pining for the "old days" but recognizing why it's better this way.
Is image uploading just down?

Not that anon, but a furry nonetheless. Kodardragon is, in fact, a rather furry artist. They do very cute dragons, though they also tend to casually include sheaths/slits, making them hard to share with /tg/.

I'd post a better kodardragon image, but hiroshimoot fucked images up.

Sapient definitely and individual. I'm not a huge fan of subverting the alignment tropes unless they have a sufficiently different upbringing than most of the rest of their kind.

I've sorta got a baseline behavior model in my head for each color of dragon and then just sorta modify it from there.

My favorite is actually red since it's a chance to be cruel, evil, greedy, and vain but with mindblowing intelligence as well. Raise armies, ruin kingdoms, seduce frost giant bitches and leave after the one night stand, briefly enslave a dwarven city just to remint your gold collection so it has your face on it (and leave most of them alive with a modest tip for the good job they did but the assurance that you'll be back for their services again and they better not make you ask twice next time), intentionally let your gold get stolen just so you can have the fun of hunting down and killing those responsible and taking their gold too. FUCK YEAH RED DRAGONS!

Why not train them instead?

Many thanks anon.

Maybe when they're still a wyrmling it's possible, but once they're that big they all have alpha mentality, which is hard to break them of, since they're huge, nigh-invincible, and breathe fire.

Dragons differ based on who they are, all being their own brand of personality. You got your assholes, your not assholes, some forms autistic personality in some, etc... They are basically humans, but with massively better physical capabilities, and some erring towards antisocial behaviour.

I like them in many varieties but the one that always comes to my mind when such question is asked are the ones from Five Star Stories.

>First and foremost is that of species classification. For the most part, they simply can’t be placed in a species or genus with any other known creature. They have traits that can be called mammalian, but they are not mammals. They have wings, but are not birds. Their wings fold like those of a beetle, but they are not insects. Neither are they reptilian, despite the presence of scales. Dragons simply defy all aspects of traditional classification, thus they have been placed in a class all their own; Draco dracontium singularis ad infinitum (a dragon and nothing else).

> Dragons are far and away the most powerful creatures to be found within the Joker galaxy. Only the LED Mirage (and various supreme deities) is more powerful. [...] The full extent to the powers and abilities of the dragons is unknown, but their most impressive ability is that of an elemental blaster of unimaginable power. Through some unknown force (possibly similar to diver ability, but this is unproven) a dragon can generate astronomical amounts of energy and deliver this force via a blast of massive proportions. The blast typically emanates from their "unicorn" (the horn that protrudes from the center of their head) and is theorized to be as powerful (more so in the case of the LED Dragon) as a full Buster cannon shot. It also seems as if dragons are capable of manipulating diver power as the dragons display telepathic abilities as well.

From the cunning, ancient and evil wyrm living in a mountain with his hoard to the roaming feral wyvern killing your livestock and burning your crops.
I don't really have a preference, and luckily since this is all a fantasy, i don't even HAVE to choose, i can just have both.
Their origin is similarly wide and varied.
Some are just a product of evolution, some were wizards and sorcerers who transformed themselves into one, and some are purely spiritual entities who merely took the form of a dragon because they happen to like it.

Metallics are definitely different. I sorta had this idea that they might be doing just as you suggested - i.e. doing things for kingdoms to garner diplomatic support. What I'm struggling with is coming up with appropriate tasks. Like, what does a King have going on that might require a bunch of Dragons to intervene?

Basically a force of "god says play nice, do it because if you don't, we're dragons".

In my setting the Metallics view themselves as an elder race and all the humanoids as basically children. As such they interfere with the politics and governance of the humanoid races "because they know better" whether the humanoids want them to or not. They usually do it shapeshifted because its easier to manipulate the "young" races that way. So maybe something like that?

>>53296725
>>53296925
Hm. Both of what you're saying makes sense, but I must admit it feels a little overlord-y to do that sort of thing just because "dragons are better." Granted, that sort of thing would breed some dissenters that could act as plot hooks or enemies down the line. I guess what I don't want to have happen is the metallics playing the "I'm better" card all the time to get what they want.

>>53297058
I mean, even if metallics are generally benevolent, they are still dragons, and have draconic personalities, so overlordy is probably on-point, metallics would probably just be nice about it I figure.

Dragons are giant, intelligent serpents with arms. Notable for existing in both the spirit and mortal worlds, they often trick people into obtuse quests or riddles in exchange for mercy - though they are bound to honor any promise, their victim rarely returns from the spirit world.

Dragons are also known to sleep for generations, and many hills are suspected to be forgotten, hibernating dragons. They often rampage when they wake up, making their dangerous quests all the more enticing.

It's really neat when they behave like animals, make part of the ecosystem or break it, occasionally as in Monster Hunter. Dragons as only lower than gods, literal forces of nature is pretty great as well.

The dragons in my setting are mostly sapient, but they barely have any contact with the other mortals. The ones that aren't [sapient] are almost always afflicted by a disease that broke on their original continent, but there are some remnants of the strain in many places. Sometimes, greedy individuals abuse their power and subjugates villages and there's the "Feed the dragon or it will kill us" thing. The most powerful ones see other mortals as little more than insects and all that jazz.

But my special flavour is the 7th Dragon way. The True Dragons are literally Great Old Ones from Lovecraft. They are the pinnacle of evolution and one of them, Nodens, wants humanity to struggle so they can evolve, leaving only the strong and eliminating the weak. They make the wheel of life spin. Destruction brings about renovation, it's an infinite cycle.

I like my dragons to be reptilian rather than the more feline shape: they're more like huge lizards*, crocodilians or snakes, with or without wings, with some breeds tending towards more dinosaur-like shapes. Usually in my settings they, along with all other reptiles as well as creatures like wyverns, basilisks, cockatrices and hydras, are all filed refered to as 'serpents.' The line between species can blur, too: in one low fantasy game I ran I was going to have the players chucked into a 'dragon pit' which they'd discover was full of crocodiles - only for the otherwise regular seeming crocs to start spitting out fire.

I definitely prefer them as monsters rather than an intelligent race, but not stupid. A 'true' dragon isn't just a dumb monster like a wyvern, but it doesn't speak, it doesn't cast spells and it doesn't lead civilisations. However, it is smart: it knows has a dangerous, predatory cunning; it knows how to fight and hunt humans who'd try to hurt it; it might not speak or have a sense of identity like a human's, but it can probably come to understand some human language over time and start recognising names humans call it by; it can understand and encourage stuff like terrified humans paying tribute to it.

In one setting of mine, a renegade god made dragons by crashing the sun into the earth and embedding its shattered remnants into his creations: dragon fire is literally fire of the sun. But, with each generation of dragons that passed the dragon fire became more diluted, leading to the dragons growing smaller, weaker and less intelligent. Eventually most breeds lost the ability to breathe fire altogether and became the mundane reptiles of the world. Reptiles' love of warmth and basking in the sun is a sort of ancestral memory, a call back to their glory days.

>>53314021
Oh, and I forgot to elaborate:
>huge lizards*
Which allows for whacky shit like chameleon dragons.


Also, here's some autism:
>Dragon - Four legs, atleast two wings
>Wyvern - Two wings, unconnected to its two legs. Bipedal, with a raptor-like shape.
>Drake - Four legs, connected by wing membrances. Quadrupedal, with a body shape more in common with bats or pterosaurs.
>Wyrm - Serpentine body, atleast two wings but no other limbs.
>Lindworm - Serpentine body, no wings but two legs/arms.
I need a term for a four legged dragon without wings. I think 'drake' would usually be the standard for that, so perhaps I ought to drop the distinction between wyvern and drake, but given all the 'that's not a dragon that's a wyvern' autism over the last few years I noticed that there were actually two distinct shapes going on there.

>>53313147
Just played that game, and agree with you. Really like the spin they put on dragons, even if quite a few barely resemble the "average" dragon.

>>53255760
So...fuckable?

I prefer them to stop showing up in my dreams with the intent to cuddle and snuggle and make me not want to wake up from those dreams.

That fucking thicc tail tho god damn

>>53317337
I'm sure one could be a personification of lust. Who else produces all the half-dragon templates?

Absolutely each their own individual. Brilliant, ancient creatures, as far above humanity as humanity is above fish.

In my campaigns they are always rather few in number although the occasional young one can be found in the wild. Standard DnD type of dragon, intelligent and powerful. I also usually have one taking on the shape of a human in some way.

Indeed, I mean, did he even mean to explode the dragoness, because popping is pretty fucking brutal most of the time...

I never really "got" the inflation fetish myself

He absolutely meant to.

Elinwilluwither tortured us, had dozens of innocents killed just to get to us (because we'd shown them kindness), and even when I offered her mercy she chose to try and kill one last one of us instead. Her explodingafter that was the perfect answer to all my hatred of her.

How did the owl not start drowning as soon as it dropped the first pellet, at least to the extent that it cant access the bag

>>53319521
>did he even mean to explode the dragoness
She was a boss, he'd offered her multiple chances to surrender and she refused them all. And he had a way to kill her that was memorable as fuck. I think inflation is autistic and I'd still explode her at that point.

>>53319599
Do familiars need to breathe?

>>53319652
Yes.

>>53319652
I'm not a DnD guy, but I also presume familiars are corporeal to some extent and vulnerable to damage, so the massive pressure wouldn't do it any good.

And how does the dust activate? Is it on contact with moisture? Because as soon as the bag gets wet they'd all go off.

>>53319673
Huh, didn't know that.
>>53319688
Breaking on a hard surface.

>>53319688
Also dont stomachs deal damage over time? How fucking tanky is this owl?

>>53319714
>hard surface

So if the pressure is enough to swell the dragon up like a dobson comic, it'll be enough to break them.

>>53319724
Then in that case he wouldn't have been able to incapacitate the dragon and offer it mercy; it would have just exploded. Huh.

>>53254943
I run a 'discworld themed' setting, which I call the "Disc of Kal-vortun". Here's how it runs dragons:
> True dragons being exceedingly rare, and usually distant from the affairs of *mortals*
> More common are "lesser" dragons like forktails, wyverns, drakes, and kobolds. Yes kobolds, which are exceedingly.
> On one end of the scale, you've got Kobolds who serve as petty warlords who attempt to take over the entire world, but are greatly hindered by the fact that they're still kobolds with 3 hp and a -2 strength stat. Level 1 peasants are capable of downing hardened veteran kobold kommandos, who in turn rely on things like camo-cloaks and crossbows, with flasks of alchemists fire, to take down their prey.
> At the other end of the scale, there's the forktails, who are a fairly large breed of lesser dragons that exist solely to eat and breed. They prey mostly upon Gryphons, as well as large livestock. But they go after dwarves and kobolds if they're particularly hungry or weak, but they don't collect treasure. In turn, Dwarves and Kobolds tend to hunt forktails for their valuable talons and poisons, which can be crafted into either great weapons(for kobolds), or expensive skrimshaw(in the case of dwarves).

The actual dragons are like true-shapeshifters. They follow the trope well of almost mythical tier creatures of frightening power, that meddle in the affairs of mortals purely for the sake of building up wealth. They're rare and powerful enough that the party in my campaign is now level 7, and they still to this day have never encountered a true dragon. Although they have hunted forktails before.

In the generic as fuck setting I'm writing up ATM, dragons are going to be insectoid and they spray various biles from their facial ducts. Still working on how to make insect dragons look dragony but still insecty.

>>53319521
She's an evil black dragon bitch and he had the chance to kill her in style. Wouldn't you?

>>53319810
I have never seen the appeal of bringing my fetish to a table of greasy neckbeards. I'd probably sneak some realm in if by some chance I had a table of semi-beautiful girls, but in every group I've ever been in delving into that shit would just be uncomfortable.

>>53319829
I'm not talking about doing it as a fetish or magical realming, I'm talking about killing a villain in a spectacular way that everybody's going to remember.

>>53254943
THICC dragons are best dragons.

>>53319209
there are so many problems with that plan. its clear the DM was taking pity on the party.

how did the owl survive being eaten?
how did it crush the pellets?
even if it did survive and crush the pellets how did it survive the bursts of water?
and even assuming all of that worked, how did the dragon suddenly turn into a closed system?

ffs the dm had already had it vomit up 100 gallons of water (which should have ejected the owl, but lets just say it had a good grip on the mysterios draconic stomach bone it was using to crush the pellets).

that proves the dm knew the dragon had an open pathway up its throat for the water. an open balloon wont explode from water unless it is an incredible amount. and this is a dragon who is much sturdier than a balloon.

the water probably would have forced its way violently out of the availabe escape valves. so the dragon would be vomiting water like a firehose while its ass blew out. but it probably wouldnt explode.

and even if it did, its stomach would have ruptured long before it swelled up like a balloon.

so at absolute best this would have inflicted the nauseated status and dealt damage. anything else is either fetishist idiocy or GM Pity.

>>53321708
oh, and add to that the fact that crushing the pellets is activating a magic item, hence a stabdard action. therefore the owl coukd only have broken a single pellet per turn.

damn fetishists.

>>53314613
The VFD and Nodens revelations were sooooo unexpected. Another thing I like about 7th Dragon is that other beings can turn into one. Something like "Dragon is the final tier of power and perfection" so I didn't mind some non-draconic dragons (except Nyala, a wyvern, and Haze, an unholy amalgam of weird shit)
Using "specimens" as power sources is something I absolutely love. Putting them into an artificial humanoid life-form who has a rival complex? Even better.

Now I want to homebrew a 7th Dragon-esque setting...

>>53321708

The only thing worse than a fetishist is a namefagging autist.

I tend to treat them as bio-weapons. It is the original Tolkein version, and I think it suits "impossible flying lizard monster" best.

Current setting a species of small reptile men in the dinosaur period (evolution happens impossible fast, men were apes 1000 years ago) developed magical powers around fleshwarping. They built a sucession of better bioweapons in a self-oblierating arms race, ending with dragons. These destroyed their civilization then turned sub-sentient and feral as millenia passed.

not necessarily BEST dragons, but in my setting:
>Dragons were all originally feral beasts but also fiercely territorial among themselves, restricting their breeding growth
>during the times of pre-history, a mortal became the first to unlock true divine power, and gained so much that the shockwave from the event spread throughout the world and caused all kinds of shit, including giving these feral dragons access to basic elemental magic (their breath) and a new biological function: the Drefir-Krhan Drii ("Dragon's True Mind") which holds a dragon's power and soul. (basically the heart-of-hearts from the Inheritance Cycle)
>about 1100 years ago (dragon population: 30) 10 mortals followed in the First God's footsteps in the temple in the All-Lands, and event known as The Ascension. The concentration of divine magic that generated caused a similar shockwave giving just over half of them (16) sentience, the ability to communicate telepathically, much more ability with magic and an ability to take a mortal shape.
>Since then, most have remained isolated except for about three
>Berosi the Powerful lives in an old fortress 25 miles west of the city of Beedale and has quite a good relationship with the government of the nation that claims the land. He repels invaders from nearby kingdoms, and they in turn bring him magical artifacts
>Theequin the Glorious lives in the Mountains near the temple in the All-Lands, keeping the peace as dictated by All-Land Treaty signed several hundred years before The Ascension. No one knows how the monks of the temple managed to convince her to do this, but rumors suggest she communes with The First God
>Lastly is Meratrix the Mad. Originally Meratrix the Holy, he devoutly worshipped Seras, one of the mortals who ascended. When he discovered the nearby kingdom was Seras's former kingdom and also worshipped him, Meratrix set out to meet his fellow worshippers. They saw his existence as blasphemy and cursed him with madness
