I wanted to do a thing where a Blue Dragon is the "Good Guy" not because they are nice but because they consider there land and the people of it to be there property and they protect what belongs to them.
Sounds like Greed from Full Metal Alchemist. I was thinking something kinda similar, but then again I tend to be predictable, you tell me A creature can only be good and I'll think about corrupting it. I hear about the great Demon lords and I imagine one who is actually sorta benevolent.
they attack
they protecc
they got their kingdom’s bacc
I was thinking of a thing where a blue dragon kidnaps a elf woman that sings him/her to sleep and after a century or so they end up caring for the elf woman as if it were their child and her their parent. I’d make a pretty interesting situation for adventurers to deal with.
holly clown I’d love to hear more about that concept omg
@@dest2118
As Shere Khan from Talespin would make a decent Blue Dragon. He desires only money and power. Unpresentable employees provide him with neither.
One of the things I heard about blue dragons is they may not specifically care about destroying you, but they do care about having the power to do so if they wish and that you know the reason you live is that they allow it.
You exist because the dragon allows it, you die because the dragon demands it.
You might actually be able to converse with a blue dragon. Depending how you go about it. Red dragon will just roast you mid sentence.
@@earthobserver1007 Not if you act like a servant . They LOVE dominating things and dominating Adventurers is even BETTER. But yes they will ultimatly kill you.
MrLung1991 This is true, just much more difficult to deal with red dragon. I actually went on a few quests for a green dragon, until he decided our gifts were an insult. I was a minotaur fighter, wielding a greataxe. I had a magical 20% size increase. We had a sorcerer who was fighting off possession from a demonic artifact in our party, so it was interesting to say the least.
@@earthobserver1007 Should've gave it bitches
I am now stuck with the image of a Blue Dragon using a skeleton as a ventriloquist dummy and naming it Achmed the Dead Adventurer.
"Achmed was a funny man, quite the joker in life."
"Whaddya Mean 'IN LIFE'?! I'm still kicking you Dummy!"
"Ah Achmed. Whatever would I do without you?"
What is the first rule they teach a Rouge at trap-setting school?
Location, location, location!
Sir Corpse the second.
Up nect we have a halfling. . .ON A STICK
Yeah and the skeleton keep saying "I'll Keel you!"
Blue dragons are actually remarkably good parents compared to all the other evil dragons and have been known to spoil them out of love, which also helps leads the wyrmlings into there later tyrannical inclination.
They are also surprisingly fair to there underlings paying them well and making sure the most useful ones don't die. Of all the most evil dragons they're the most redeemable since even at there most evil they can run a society and don't just want to destroy everything because its benefits no one.
Green dragons also care for their children very much
Hey How are you? But not exactly fair to underlings
REEEEE, it's their not there!
They're only lawful evil by a little bit then, and almost more lawful neutral.
to bad they dont marry
It's interesting that blue dragons like desserts when they don't camouflage... With the sand but they do with the sky which they fly around alot mind blown!
They don't use cheap tricks like camafalouge
@@lorekeeper685 Literally talked about being masters of illusions and illusion magics in the video.
SlowMotionSword he literally just said they don’t use “cheap tricks” like camouflage and I was pointing out that they are masters of illusion as stated in the videos. But if you wanna be a smart ass, depends on the time of day, the sky can be purple, red, orange, and plenty others such as white if there’s lots of particles in the atmosphere. I actually graduated with a meteorology degree so just let me know if you wanna be educated on the sky some more.
Also blue dragons have an excellent burrowing ability. They sometimes bury themselves up to there horns in the ground before attacking. Again they are master tacticians
@@liamsvoice6363 In the desert, without clouds and a blue sky you won't see a flying blue dragon until they land on you.
2:45 That hole in the in front of the eye in the skull isn't the "nostrils" of the dragon but a antorbital fenestra, basically a large sinus cavity. The hole that you point to at 3:04 would be the dragon's actual "nose hole", not a hole left by removing it's horn. A horn as large as the one possessed by a blue dragon would leave some underlying bony structure regardless of flesh removal.
In short, what you have there is probably not a picture of a blue dracolich, more likely a green, or if it is a blue the artist severely flubbed their draconic anatomy lesson.
Yeah that bothered me too
I'm glad you posted this so I didn't lol
Yeah those are my thoughts as well.
The depicted dracolich art is that of a white dracolich, if Im remembering right.
If you want to be friendly with a chromatic dragon, blues are your best bet (depending on its personality, of course. And it's age.)
Still not entirely advisable, but it would be the most likely to give you a chance to talk. Just remember to bring gifts. Lots of gifts. Flattery might work, too, grovel a bit. If it knows you know it can beat you easily it (might) be content with that (for the moment.)
Silver dragons if your Nutral or chaotic good
Best gift: a useful magic item heavily incorporating lapis and sapphires. They like valuable blue things.
You can bring booze and music to them or they just like the things that are useful for them?
@@Voldrim359There is one named blue dragon that absolutely loves music: Olothontor, the Minstrel Wyrm. He’s trying to find a female blue dragon that has a nice singing voice to be his mate, but he hasn’t had any luck yet.
The fact that they love their children so much makes me picture them as the kind of parents that brag about their child at every opportunity they get.
5e needs a draconic compendium that dives deeper into the lore (and maybe even give us stat blocks for the chromatic and metallic dragons that are not part of the main 10 types)
I really want some kind of dragonomicon supplement, hopefully with additional types like Steel, Orange, Gem Dragons, Epic Dragons (Force/Prismatic) as well as additional RP info and stat blocks for Wyrm,Great Wyrm, and something between Adult and Ancient (Like Senior, Aged, etc)
I would love that!! 5e big book of dragons
@@alexisross9343 D&D, but both the D's stand for Dragon. :P
@@1mealer Doubt we're gonna see the Force or Prismatic dragons ever again. 5E dropped epic levels like a rock, so you'd have to basically entirely change them to let them in. Besides that, I'm not sure they were canon to the Forgotten Realms, which is kinda the default setting now.
Although yes I would like to see how they could make them a little more reasonable.
We're getting just that this year in October.
Most dragons: my lair has a treasure room, lots of hallways and maybe an orc villige
blue dragons: My LaIr HaS a PoOl
Me who has to play a blue dragon as a patron to my party of kobolds:if you’re a dick you’re probably going to be drowned
Hey
A pool is a pool
So, blue dragons fight like an old-school Rathalos but with galaxy-brain. Duly noted.
Nice choice of name and profile photo.
Again furthering my beliefs that Blue Dragons are the Best.
Blue dragons are my favourite in the world of Krynn but in the D&D worlds blacks & purples are my favourite. Just because they are so outright nasty, manipulating little buggers.
@@julierose689 If you like manipulative little bastards, the one you should love is the Green Dragon. Those guys are described in the MM as suave, cunning, and manipulative, preferring to collect people over an actual hoard. It wouldn't be unlikely to encounter one with a very loyal High Elven butler and a Halfling bard to sing his praises, or even to have the green dragon serve as a kind of patron to a party of adventurers, all with the explicit purpose of slowly corrupting them as they do his bidding. One of my (I think) best ideas for a dragon-themed campaign begins with an ancient Green Dragon tracking down the party, confronting them, and offering his help in slaying a black dragon who settled nearby--the only alternative being him killing them all and finding someone else.

Now I want to make a quest line where a mysterious man/woman (Actually a Blue Dragon) asks the PC's to get some mystical item or some such for him/her and it actually a present for his/her anniversary and not malicious whatsoever (though maybe it also is). Be really interesting to see how it plays out, especially if the PC's figure out it's actually a Blue Dragon!
Is it OK if I steal this
@@Rex9462 Of course it is! Have fun :)
Can blue dragons can take human form?
@@MG-yc6jr As far as I know, almost any dragon can.
@@ethanotoroculus1060 Metallic dragons can do it naturally. Chromatic dragons need to learn the polymorph spell, or have a servant that knows it.

your videos are great help for me worldbuilding my first multiverse for an upcoming campaign, thx dude
PogU
Yea, me myself who write a fantasy theme style novel find this kind of vids are extremely useful for character building
I'm giddy with anticipation for the silver dragon installment.
Silver have always been my favourite of the Metalics, although the copper dragon does hold a special place as well in the metallic category for simply fucking with its adversaries with pranks that are so annoying on a draconic level that the rival dragon would rather just leave the region than spend the time trying to catch and kill the copper lol.
Me too! I love silver dragons!!
The video is already up!
@@Dracobyte this was a 2 month old comment you replied to lol
@@Dracobyte I know! It was awesome!!!
Blue dragons will always be my favorite! Ever since first reading the Dragonlance novels, and learning about Skie (Khellendros). I absolutely adored his devotion to Kitiara!
White Dragons are my favorite of the chromatics, and I’d love to see you cover them. Once you finish the chromatic dragons, will you be covering the metallic dragons next, or something else?
Nightsmith Good old white dragons, in their crystalline ice caverns, maybe a few frost giant thralls nearby, ready to turn you into a humanoid-sicle. Or just tackle the wall/ceiling to drop a ridiculous number of frozen ice chunks onto your head.
"Swamps aren't that big."
American Deep South: Am I a joke to you?
Imagine how many black dragons live in Louisiana.
The Great American DnD Campaign!
Only the most hardy, rough and tough, better than the best of gunslinging cowboys can truly go into the deep southern swamps.
There are multiple small swamps around the south(the largest being the Okefenokee at 700 square miles) but even put together they would fit in the Sahara (3.5 million square miles), the Arabian desert(1 million square miles) or the Gobi(1/2 million square miles).
The dragon in hoard of the dragon queens intro didn't just get bored. The goal of the raid was to grab as many valuables as they could because of spoilers. The dragon backed off because it's goal was accomplished.
I knew someone was going to say this in the comments
The Murghôm nation is a interesting thing where it's run by a council of dragon princes. It's actually led by a Aincent Blue dragon by the name of Skalnaeder. He's actually noted to be quite "enlightened" & kind to his Mulanian human citizens.
Blue dragons.
The best chromatic dragon to encounter if you dont want to be screwd over instantly
7:46 so all blue dragons think their characters in jojo's bizarre adventure. Neat.
Vampire Blue Elder Wyrm?
I actually have a character who's a blue dragon stuck in human form, and has created a kingdom for herself, despite being limited to a human body. While finding a way to return to her true form is her end goal, she has grown to love certain human foods (kinda like that scene where Wonder Woman tries ice-cream for the first time) and has adopted many cat and dogs. Normal blue dragons would see her as very strange, because she can go from, "I will kill your whole tribe and make you watch," to "Oh my gosh, look at this cute puppyyyyy!" fairly quickly. She's... she's a mess.
Illusions, patience and a strategic mind in the desert . . . imagine someone like Patton or Rommel. As a dragon. That can cast Illusions. That's your enemy. In the desert no less.
Bah, you're not ready, not ready at all. Your mighty weapons are useless, if you can't reach him. Yes, but can you fly fast enough to catch him? Speaking of catching, how are you going to find him? Interesting, I assume you'll use the same against his illusions? Quite a few spells you intend to use every time he gets away. And without those spells against his illusions, well you have to rely on wit alone. As you've mistaken this for an oasis it's not looking too good on that front.
Zorzich! You sonnova bitch! I read your book!
You forgot to mention that many Blue Dragons also live along coast lines where much the same benefits that a desert gives. Otherwise good video
You should make the title shorter, you can't read the blue dragon part before clicking on it (at least on phone ). Hoping it'll make the video more visible ^^
You can still see "Dungeon and Dragons lore" and that's enough. :p
@@Eldariur It's so broad that the incomplete title made me orginaly think it was more about the manuel in general thought I realy like the dragon lore serie so I'm not disatisfied
@@jsid955 I was thinking the same thing
I imagine some metallic and chromatic dragon rejecting both bahamut and Tiamat, because they sick of the war between the metallic and chromatic dragons, moving to a dragon plan of existence after generations of breeding making a new breed of dragon called alloy dragons. Red/gold mix would be called twilight dragons, blue/bronze dragons would be called cyan dragons and black/silver dragon would be called dusk dragons.
Holy shit. This is brilliant
You mean Dawn not twilight rigth?
Some of the naming for those dragons doesn't make sense, and even though some DO go against their gods, they still maintain their personality and alignment, and will almost NEVER breed outside their race, ESPACIALLY with the opposing side, aka metallic to chromatic, or vise-versa.
@@zionthedragon8866 Hybrid dragons can't reproduce. Like mules.
@@dubuyajay9964 please read my comment more carefully.
I love this series, but I think you forgot talk about their treasure preferences.
They like the zafires and the art pieces.
Carlo I going to guess you meant Sapphires
@@nevermore7285 that's what he said, just in Spanish. (at least i think so?)
I remember being astounded by the brilliant tactics and siege methods of the blue dragons in the monster manual, and this video just gives them a whole new depth even beyond that. I may have to look for a copy of the Draconomicon for this kind of lore. I still want to add a blue dragon to a campaign who turns out to be a kind of protector and overlord over the desert, a selfish ruler but completely fair to those who don't upset him, and obsessed with maintaining a kind of social network with the desert peoples, including granting gifts of sorcerous magic to a band of zealous humanoid followers. Overall, not a bad guy, as long as you don't get on his bad side. Just as a way to shake up some older players at my table who automatically assume all colored dragons are evil.
Can't wait for the episode on the Green Dragon though. These are the ones I personally find most interesting with their described penchant for collecting and corrupting humanoid servants, not just to dominate them, but to make them serve willingly.
I have loved Blue Dragons since 1st edition. It’s nice to know they have become the most human of all the chromatic dragons. 🐉
I'm imagining a blue dragon adopting an orphaned clutch of brass dragon eggs
Everybody just breezes past gem dragons. EMERALD DRAGON VIDEO!!!!
Thank you!
Blue dragons are pretty much my favorite ever, lore wise. Thanks for making this video!
It always fascinated me how incredibly lawful and civilized blue dragons are.
Now i feel bad for slaying that ancient blue dragon :( sorry buddy
@@Visitormassacre I'm sorry :(
D:OS2 feelings
I love your deep dives and lore videos as they give me so much more than I’d ever find on my own as new to DMing. I’m really looking forward to a video focusing on the brass dragons as I was recently inspired to have my bard/warlock’s patron be a brass dragon mascaraeding as devilish pitfiend (who is pretending to be a shop owner. It’s in my back pocket for the future when his neutral character wants to be good but thinks he’s made a huge mistake taking a single level of warlock, but behold his patron isn’t a devil after all, it’s a brass dragon that reversed a corrupted hex blade to keep him from an evil path while also getting constant conversation from a human they find extremely interesting. Keep it up and I look forward to your next dragon video!
I love this series
Just have an encounter that is a blue dragon giving another blue dragon a gift to personify them a bit. If they decide to talk to them the two dragons will say something about asking for the main dragon of the area for his approval and that they both are so happy
Edit: maybe have the party run into them again and if they talk they will say that the main dragon didn’t approve so they left
I dont know what we wold do without your videos, Rhexx. Thank you for your great job.
One thing I've never understood, or cared for, about blue dragons is how there is an entire aspect to them nobody talks about. Not even this deep dive video. Specifically; they favor rocky coastlines as well as deserts. It doesn't say that in any book I've found lately, but I distinctly remember reading long ago (possibly in a section about a DIFFERENT dragon entirely), that they sometimes come into conflict with other creatures over costal territories. This is because the sound of waves crashing against rocks reminds them of thunder, and they find it comforting. Don't believe me? The ONE reference to this I've been able to find in a long time is in the Dungeon Master's Guide for 5e, specifically the section of tables for monster types by environment. Blue dragons appear not only on the desert table, but also the coast table.
I rarely leave a comment on any media, but i just felt compelled to throw u One. I resently decided to give D&D, and Ove Allways been adicted to fantasy. Ive listened to alot of tour videos, and they tought me alot! U are a great narrator, and i often forget That im trying to learn the basics og d&d and just end up listening to the lore for hours! Great job! Keep it up , it sounds like u have alot to cover yet
I love your lore videos! I use so much of it in my home games. I actually have a player who has a vendetta against a white dragon coming up and i would love to hear any lore you could provide on them (:
I'd love for a future DnD edition to redesign dragons to be more fitting for their characteristics. Say for instance, blue dragons having larger wings and maybe smoother, more aerodynamic, or more avian features to cement them as the best flyers, or maybe bronze dragons, being the most adept swimmers, to have the manta ray style of wings that gold dragons do.
Man i loved blue dragons before now I'm even more in love with them^^
IMO the best of your dragon ecology Videos.
So well written and it closes an circle for the story
A wonderful series. Insightful, helpful, concise, and very inspiring for future campaign ideas.
I do believe the rest of the Chromatics would be next, but would you be willing to cover some of the lesser known/appreciated dragons such as the Metallics or Gem dragons?
"you can nail on the cross people who..." Now that's an interesting expression.
Something I'm working on. An island Lizard folks who mistaken a blue dragon for there God so they warship it pay it homage it lives in a dead volcano that is filled with water from the ocean through caverns party has to gain an artifact the dragon has for a quest. Think it would make for an interesting session or sessions.
Great video, love all this extra info on the Big Blues. I'd like to see a video on one of the Metalic dragons next!
Thank you for this video! It helped me figure out my bbeg motivation for my adventure!
may I hear about em if u don’t mind?
I don't know why but who else wants to attend a blue dragon wedding ceremony. It's a very curious thing to think about.
I believe I once read of a black dragon that lived on the elemental plane of water. Lived in a kelp forest in a giant derelict ship.
really good stuff, I love this lore as it really gives a solid background knowledge.
could you maybe do a video on Draconians from Dragonlance?
We had an encounter with a blue dragon. It was pretty scary, that beast was very aggressive indeed. The beast chased us and it was seemingly inevitable. Till some expert poachers caught him alive. Them poachers are just very mean, that they even attacked us. They weren't just poachers, they were conquerors, murderers, notorious criminals. That even me and my fellow adventurers sorta feel sorry for the Blue Dragon that attacked us will be dead meat for them criminals. So the party and I did something highly unusual. Rescue the Dragon. It was hard, me and the adventurers are evenly matched with them notorious gang, but their numerosity was too great. They even recruited giants. But one of our members did sneak in first and freed the Dragon. So the Blue Dragon attacked our enemies and many died while the rest, retreated. Now they're powerless and resourceless. The Blue Dragon spoke to us and even told us that he'll spare us this time and he left.
As a DM who doesn't have a kot of spare time, you are a god of wisdom and knowledge! Thank you for all of these
Big Blues are my favorite! Can't beat lighting lol... I hope you cover copper dragons! They can be awesome in campaigns...
Blues are my favorite of chromatic dragons as I saw them as most dangerous. Thank you for reaffirming my love for the devious creatures.
Part of me thinks they so patient cuz living in a desert must be boring/uneventfull AF so when an adventurer party comes around they are like "awwww yeah! most fun i've had in months i could do this all week!"
I recently ran HotDQ and I enjoyed what they did with Lennithon in the Greennest encounter. He didn't so much "get bored" he simply didn't feel like dealing with a group of adventurers. In particular, it made sense to me because this Greennest sack wasn't his idea, he's just following orders, so he REALLY didn't feel like putting himself at risk for the benefit of someone else.
I really like these videos. I'm really looking forward to the red and silver dragon, but all of them are so interesting
I did make a character named Sivilith who is a Lawful Neutral/Good Blue Dragon, while she dislikes intruders entering her lair or territory, she allows them to explain and will give them a chance to leave her territory if what they offer her is not good enough, like she doesn’t want to kill, but will if provoked or insulted. Her best friend was a Dragonborn named Dracuus who saved and helped her force a Red Dragon named Blelondru to flee from her territory when the Red tried to kill her for her golden treasures. Unfortunately Dracuus was killed by an Ash Giant, and when word got out, she did mourn, but before his death he gave her a priceless Sapphire that she treasures as a sign of his friendship and an unknown artifact that she vows to give to Dracuus’s son Draxiros and protect it from other travelers who try to steal it
while watching i begin to look up blue dragon lair and as i d ohe says "what are they like? and were do they live" love the videos very good lore
For anyone wanting to look at where a lot of the lore is coming from, check out the D&D 3.5 book, the Draconomicon.
Really nice video, thank you! It makes blue dragons seem like really cool dudes!
Basically crocodiles of the dragon world where they are seen as evil when they are neutral.
I absolutly *love* dragons and have been for many years, so I enjoy , hearing about them from you a lot!
But while watching this episode, I thought that it might also be interesting to hear you talk about different D&D-adventures or even entire campagnes. For exemple, you giving an overview of the story and then talking about what you liked about it and what you disliked and why; kind of what you did very shortly in this video.
Just wanted to make that suggestion, while it was still in my head.^^
mfg PatrickSieben7
I've been watching alot of your videos, while driving or playing baldurs gate 3. I love the content!
What a cool video. It makes me want to start a campaign centered around all this dragon lore
I love your videos, could you cite sources in the future? I wanna read more content!
I use the monster manual for 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition; including the Draconomicon from 3.5 e and the Draconomicon 2 from 4th edition.
Your vids are always awesome, useful, interesting.
Just by hearing them I know dragons in my campaign will be a lot more interesting, detailed and fun, thank you
Could you do yellow, purple, and or orange dragons? They were found in dragon magazine 248
Can you do SCP lore videos like the Scarlet King, Hanged King, Yaldabaoth, Mekhane, Brothers Death, and so on?
That hole that is supposedly the nose on the skeleton is actually the antorbital finestra. It’s a feature commonly found in dinosaurs to help lighten the weight of the skulls
Can you do lore videos on JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion like Morgoth, the Dragons, Balrogs, Ancalgon, Sauron, and the Valar?
Red dragons dude, red dragons. Family behaviors and everything.
My favorite Chromatic Dragon is the Blue Dragon.
My Favorite Metallic Dragon is the Silver Dragon.
I see them as my Yin and Yang ☯️
Same with my second favorite Chromatic, the Red Dragon, and second favorite Metallic, the Bronze Dragon.
I see those dragons as my secondary Yin and Yang.
Together combined, they form my element of Water (Bronze), Fire (Red), Earth (Blue), and Air (Silver).
how is blue earth and bronze water?
bitchboi carlos
Blues are Earth because when Lightning strikes.....it actually goes from the ground up (when cloud to ground) to the sky. Plus they like bury themselves in the sand/earth to hide for ambush.
Bronzes are Water because they love living on costal areas and love to swim....plus they can breath under water.
I’ve really been enjoying these videos. They’re giving me a lot of inspiration.
So, are these your ideas? Or did you pull from other source books like Volo's Guide or perhaps some novels that feature blue dragons? I find it really interesting, and would love to read more on blues
its pulled from other sources, old draconomicons, dragon magazine, that kind of thing, the 5th edition monster manual just cant include all the lore theyve had for the creature in the forgotten realms
Great video! A lot of the extra details on my favorite chromatic dragon type!
The second tip on the dragon's horn is how I open my beer bottles.
That picture of the two dragon statues holding an egg together. That's an actual sculpture in my home town of Varna. The statue is called "Dragons in Love" and its located outside a swimming pool. Its a very cringe-worthy statue but if you're a tourist going to Bulgaria for some reason you can find it easily.
Gold or Silver next! Amazing video as always!
This Channel has Nerd/Geek levels unmatched in almost anything I've seen. I think I may be in love.
In my home game I have a large expanse of desert which was mostly unoccupied aside from a large city in the centre which used magic for basic needs like food and water.
I had the city be cloaked by many wizards so that the city would be hidden from the blue dragons which flew overhead.
The desert has regions where the dragons Lair effects are at work so many local stories of sand spirits and desert storms were made with a beware the glasslands mentality throughout the kingdom.
Personally my favourite location I've ever designed.
Next chromatic dragon you should cover in my humble opinion is the white dragon. please and thank you
Sería engorroso describirles todo, pero... En el día 17 la pelea nos llevó a la estratósfera, tiro un mordisco que salve con mi armadura de acero con gadolineo, calculé un ataque en el minuto 7 y otro en el 10, el tiempo de preparación puede reducirlo con mi pulsera de Argón, note que por su peso y la gran altitud tenía que aletear demasiado para tener sustento, hice un "resplandor solar" ya a ciegas respondió con un "multiataque" poco antes de subir ya había superado su "pavor" así que que fue sencillo evitar sus garras y un nuevo mordisco, poco después del minuto 9, no sabía si tirar mi lanza de ébano con punta de pedernal, si recuperaba la visión le sería sencillo esquivarla, la voz de mi maestro me dijo "piensa en lo básico" tire "grasa" en su ala derecha ipso facto comenzó a caer dando giros, desde abajo lanzo un "aliento relámpago" como el caía solo levite más y
Salí de su rango de alcance, teletransporte mi lanza erguida al piso justo cuando cayó sobre la " laguna seca".
Thanks man. Loving the series so far
Im really impressed with your research. If I could lay down a challenge for ya MrRhexx, I would love to see you cover any Crystal Dragon. I've been wanting to put one in my game, but the lore is rather scarce
Wow dude loved the video gave me a better knowledge of the blue dragon than what i expected.
100 out of 20
The 3.5 draconomicon has so much great lore omg! Also the courtship thing makes me think of the “even evil has loved ones” trope, which I’m weak as heck for.
Is that where all this comes from? I never heard him give a source, so I was super suspicious of most of what he said, particularly given the "not in the Monster Manual" "this official book by the creators gets their lore wrong" moments.
@@danniemiesse4643 The Draconomicon has a bunch of really in depth stuff about the dragons! I recognize the info, so yeah! I'm sure some old dragon magazine stuff it there too. :)
Would be interesting if a party found a lost blue wyrmling, maybe the offspring of the Suzerein (be free to make them as much of a brat as possible).
Thank you for doing such a great job on the blue dragons. You really did you homework. 😄
I'm curious, when will you do a dragon lore episodes on the types outside of the main two; Chromatic, Metallic. What about the gem dragons, ferrous dragons, especially the types not in a group such as my personal favorite the Sand Dragons from 3.5 Sandstorm.
This has helped a lot with research. Thank you.
With Blues depicted here being so adamantly monogamous, or at least serial monogamous, it brings up an interesting thought as to how the half-dragons or draconic lineage may form. Someone with blue dragon lineage may legitimately love their forebear, or ancestry, and defend it even if their lineage rose from a great tyrant of the wastes; simply because the forebear would have shown utmost love and care to them. I could easily see a blue half-dragon/dragon lineage individual living in a form of blissful ignorance to whatever ails such beings brought. Would make some interesting character development.
At the same time, does this mean if a blue dragon falls for a mortal race do they stay with that mortal for the rest of their life? If so, that would also make for some interesting NPC interactions. Then again, I absolutely love moral ambiguity as a concept because it can't be used enough and needs to be the standard.
((I heavily, heavily dislike morality as something inherent because it sets a horrible, HORRIBLE precedent for real life.))
sky or whatever his actual name from dragonlance is probably one of my favourite dragon characters in any of the books i've read
So what is it that makes them evil? Unless i missed something the only evil thing they seem to show is if they are in a fight the bore you to death.
Frost Dragon King All chromatics want to exert their will upon other creatures - including other chromatics. They’ll eat you if they don’t need a slave or if you refuse to be one. They are better than you, they know it, and they care about most mortals as much as humanity as a whole cares about fire ant colonies.
