    Green Dragons: Trickster Demon of the Forest

    I see an ancient elf king, his majesty long since faded, slumped and half-asleep in his throne. A green dragon whispers in the king’s ear, corrupting and twisting the king’s dreams. This dragon’s name is Cyan Bloodbane, and he means the destruction of us all. – Pelios of Ergoth, Silvanesti Seer I’ve actually used this…

    Shadow Dragon: Technically Not a Dragon, I Guess

This guy falls into the same category as the Dracolich: the “I’m a dragon, except not really” kind of monster. Thankfully, like the Dracolich before it, I don’t need to talk about the design.…
