Dragons are great reptiles, reaching lengths of 50’ or more at their oldest. They are covered in thick, scaly hide and many dragons also sport horns, spikes, and even a row or two of ridges that run from the base of their head to the tips of their tails. They have four limbs and a set of wings that can fold flat against their back.

Dragons are usually generally uniform in color along their sides and backs, with lighter coloration on their underside. A Dragon’s color often has a correlation to the type of breath weapon that the dragon wields. Dragons of a specific color also often have other abilities that are tied to their color in addition to the abilities that all Dragons have. Here is a list of the different types of Dragons and their color-based abilities:

All Dragons have a number of abilities in common. They all can sense magical items by scent, if the item is within range. They all have Greater Nightvision and can see invisible creatures that are within range. Dragons are also immune to all effects that cause sleep or paralysis, regardless of the source.
