![]() ![]() A black dragon and a behir, for instance, will result in a black scaled/skinned acid-breathing behir. This is also the case in the near unthinkable mating of a chromatic with a metallic (producing a mutated sub-dragon creature). When they're born, those that survive their siblings, are similarly genetically wired to seek out their preferred territories to fight their way into adulthood.ĭragons that mate with other draconic-but-not-"true"-dragon creatures (nearly universally chromatic) invariably have offspring of draconic mutations of the non-dragon creature. Linnorms, hydra, wyverns and behirs are the most common results. The resulting broods are significantly larger (between one and two dozen!), similarly, mixed bags of any possible chromatic AND a variety of mutations/sub-dragon offshoots. If they find/encounter others of their kind, as coppers and silvers in particular seem hard-wired to seek out, they may increase their knowledge/abilities/receive formal "upbringings."Īny chromatic can mate with any other chromatic. The hatchlings are born with nearly all faculties and ability needed to find their way across the world to a terrain of their liking/dna and age/grow normally. As with many reptiles, parenting isn't a huge imperative. The clutches are laid (somewhere presumably safe if not impossible to reach) and left. They can be of any metallic type, not just the parentage and not really discernible from the shell (perhaps a slight hue or sheen offers a hint). In the case of coppers and silvers, large groupings of extended family units, some of several generations, may lair in close proximity if not within a single lair.Īny metallic can mate with any other metallic resulting in clutches somewhat larger (maybe up to 5 or 7) and produce a mixed bag of offspring. Depending on the genus, the eggs may or may not be cared for/guarded and the offspring may or may not be reared to a certain point. ![]() These are generally quite small, however, only 2 or 3 eggs. These produce, also "of course", small clutches of the single color/metal "true" wyrms. The preferred, though not always plausible method, of course, is mating with one of your own genus (red mates with red, silver mates with silver). My homebrew does something similar, though not so far to the "generic" as Umbran, but more "random".well, at least split along the chromatic and metallic lines. I'll admit, it's a bit silly and certainly not appropriate for every campaign, but the concept amuses me. Who is pink, and very touchy about the subject. However, I could see a type of red/white dragon that has no breath weapon (fire and ice cancel each other out), but rather combines the brutish mindset of a white with the raw savagery of a red. In his case, due to how the templates were set up, he could make both fire and ice attacks. It was a classic "boy named Sue" concept and created a lot of fun moments during play. He was a pink dragon whose hatred of his own existence was rivaled only by his hate of other dragons. One of my players picked red dragon and ice element (the result of the unlikely pairing of a red and a white dragon). It was inspired by 4e Gamma World, so you could pick two templates and combine them to determine your race. In a campaign using a homebrew system, I had a set of racial templates for the creation of a race. Their color, looks, breath weapons, resistances, immunities, weaknesses, personalities, tactics, and favorite terrains. To make the idea interesting, what are your ideas for crossbreed dragons? And you can do anything because magic dragons. The additional of dragonborn from 4th edition allows for players to get in on the action. The wavy crest moves from the head and spine to the wings.ĭue to 5e having 6 saves and more formalized damage types (necrotic, radiant, sonic, psychic), more options for the effect of new dragons are available. The fire could cause a reaction in the poisons gas to solidify it into a sharp sandlike substance instantly. I decided go by pigments, red and green combines into a brown dragon. I was unsure on what to do with Red/Green. They combine the feral white and bargaining black into a gray, greedy, brute. The cold aspects of the white harden the acid of the black into a oozes which both corrodes and immobilizes. They have the superiority complex of the reds and the manipulative nature of blues.īlack and white creates grey dragons. The fusion of fire and electricity creates a cone of raw force an alters their immunity to force damage. Red and Blue dragons parings produce Purple dragons. ![]() For the most part I used dragons of D&D past for the new hybrids and crossbreeds. The offspring of two different colors spawns a new color type of dragon due to the fusing of the raw energies of dragonkind. It's rare as dragons are weird about mating. The same with metallic dragons and other metallics. My setting allows chromatic dragons to mate with other chromatics of different colors. ![]()
