[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9334581, member: 7037866"] Well, this isn't for "D&D", but for our game we're developing. There is only "dragon". Not different types, not different alignments. A dragon adapts to its environment, wherever that might be. Their breath weapons (if they have one) also adapt, either to match the environment or oppose it. Their alignment can be anything. So, you might encounter a "red-skinned" dragon in a desert that breaths fire, or cold, or a blast of sandy air, or lightning, or whatever. The same region might produce a dragon which is light brown (like the sand). It can be randomly determined, or picked by the DM. Some dragons can fly, some burrow, some swim, again likely determined by the environment. When a dragon lays eggs and those eggs hatch, the young are only tended by a parent until their first molting, usually about 2 years later. Dragons reach maturity around 10 years, but continue growing to fit the space they live in, the amount of food available, etc. By the time they are 50 years old, they often are the dominant predator in their domain. Finally, dragons are immortal. At any point they can "pass on", leaving the realm, at which point their physical bodies eventually transform into that of their environment, forever becoming part of the lands. Their essence can return to the region whenever they want in a sort of "ghostly" form, but they rarely do so unless there is great need or they are summoned. Also, whenever new eggs are laid in that region, the dragon can be "reborn" by choosing one of the eggs. [/QUOTE]
