Orange dragons: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”
Well... I have a new favorite dragon, and it's my favorite color too. My inner DM started laughing maniacally as you described it's breath weapon.
Next time my players swat team a dungeon without taking damage, I'm putting them in a boat.
Oh you just gave me another unusual dragon to use in my Tomb of Annihilation campaign, nice.
That Naplm Breath sounds metal af! Jesus what a terrible way to die!
So you could easialy find a single forest where a black, orange and green dragon are in a general area.
Imagine if the black and orange held and intervention with the green and the three prefered to work together for fear of a metalic coming by and killing them all off one by one.
Or imagine if you and your party stumbled into this patch of forest and you encounter one of them and defeatt only to continue on to the next dragon's lair, then to the third's? It would take one seriously sadistic DM to do that and one hell of a party to be able to survive it.
In Chemistry class in high school our teacher set the ceiling on fire with a sodium and water demonstration. It was pretty sweet.
Lol
Must be widespread. I don't think I've ever been in a chemistry classroom that didn't have a dark spot over the teacher's desk.
This is one of the most monster hunter creatures I've ever heard about.
"Killer queen has already touched your healer."
"Bite Ze Dusto!"
Creative. A dragon that breaths Greek fire. Though in RL, I don't think sodium gets that hot. Now I have to ask my best friend. Hes a chemist. And he would laugh his ass off at the notion. Probably go on a tyraid about yellow dragons, and claim that they would be far worse due to breathing potassium. Which reacts like sodium but faaaar more explosively. Probably say that you could find their lair by following the strong smell of bananas. Which are one of their favorite snacks due to the high potassium and sugar content.
I homebrewed these into my game, had it use its breath weapon on a couple Kobolds and my players watched in horror as the Kobolds ran to them for help, only to explode in their faces.
A Greek Fire/napalm/timebomb spewing dragon!?? That's...utterly horrific.
Also: the last pic is essentially the DnD version of the 🔥🔥"This is fine"🔥🔥 meme.
Dang. Explosive napalm Breath. Nasty, and perfect. I am now building one for my homebrew world.
NGL I thought of the Orange Lanterns from DC.
Greedy to a fault and willing to negotiate when they realize that force would destroy the treasure.
Lantern Singular, there is only one Orange Ring
@@erickchristensen746 I mean lex luthor was one for awhile
@@chickenusgoddus464
He had the One and only Orange Lanturn ring during the blackest night comic, when it and those other rings went and found new owners in that part of the story, which was temporary anyways. If I recall, the wife of Aquaman got a red ring, idr the others
@@erickchristensen746 really I coulda sworn it was him and larfleeze also was scarecrow or batman the yellow lantern during that
As someone who likes explosives, this is awesome. I used to make my own fireworks and uh, "stump remover".
Professor Picket's School of Dracology adds another volume of research to it's comprehensive archives.
I thought of something recently. Is there anything like a hoard dragon? I mean, we know that virtually all dragons have hoards, but I'm talking about dragons that ARE their hoards. As the dragon takes steps, countless coins jingle and clatter off their form as claws made of magic weapons scrape the floor, their wings stretch and reveal to be expensive drapes pulled taught on polished timbers of exotic woods. What were first thought to be eyes are instead massive gems that glimmer in the light to look alive.
In truth, the real dragon lies within. About the size of a fairy dragon, these dragons have an innate magical ability to control items of value, making imposing vestiges of their kin to scare off intruders. As a last resort, these hoard dragons feign death, allowing their hoard to be looted while the dragon hides at the bottom. For this dragon, keeping the secret of their true form is more important than a handful of lost trinkets
Wow that's a really interesting concept for a dragon, might use it in my campaign, thanks!
Great vid, earned a sub from me!What I DONT get is why Wizards Of the Coast havent included the Deep/ Purple, Orange and Yellow dragons in a new and COMPLETE Dragon/ Draconian encyclopedia book with existing dragons? They could be fleshed out and more so on what little there is on the remaining chromatic dragons. Tiamat had this sister multi head dragon or what Ive read she shunned her or what silly readon it was. Tiamat is Red, Blue, White, Black and Green. The sibling had the dragon heads of Purple, Orange, Yellow, Grey/ Fang and Brown/ Sand.
don't forget the pink dragons
@@justinterry8894 yeah and teal. My fav color is teal and I have rare teal eyes but for cohesivness sake they could be " wild " chromatics IF Tiamat focus on the other five missing. If I suggest a 25 headed Tiamat, some spiteful fans and WotC might get an excuse to think look a crazy guy NEVER implement anything even if its interesting even by proxy of assosiation and satisfaction me and others of such an idea can get.
You'd still be glad to face one after fighting the dreadful Banana Dragon.
This might be the winner of most dangerous breath weapon for a dragon.
That breath weapon is great.
You can avoid a lot of pain from these stick-on effects by using Prestidigitation to clean yourself up.
Unless of course you got fully drenched, in which case, you get to spare your face or groin.
This dragon is new to me. I probably ignored it when (if) I read about them. Evil, cruel, nasty, intelligent, unconventional... perfect for an evil antagonist. Thanks, AJ.
This dragon would be an evil twist on a version of the Loch Ness monster, an extortionist maybe.
they will poss for pictures but only to while you take a picture devore you whole
1:25 Awwwww, so cuuuuuute *readies Monster Hunter weapons*
Holy crap, that breath weapon is ridiculous...

Hey AJ... loved the video as always. Been playing d&d since the 80's. I dont ever remember an orange dragon. I always favored black green and dracolich dragon. Now i have to add to the list orange drangons. WOW what a nasty breath weapon, thank you AJ for making me aware of orange dragons. I always learn something new from your monster ecology videos. Thank you again AJ and have a great day.
Thanks Matt!
The Agent Orange Dragon.
I was just thinking - rain forest environment, napalm breath, orange colouration and a speciality in hit and run explosive warfare...
No commentary here. Nope. None at all.
Should name one Juilius Sherbet!
I want to meet the crazy dm that thought of this & ask them what were they on when they thought of this terrible, yet awesome thing
Nepalm breath. My God, that is so bad ass!
Prestidigitation would remove the spit, as it can clean.
That's a stretch, but, try it on the DM anyway, you might get lucky.
Advice taken. Will NOT confuse for giant river carp.
now for the Tartan dragon.
Och! Nasty wee beasty is the MacDragon!
I suppose anyone prepped to remove a grease spell off themselves might be able to quickly free themselves or rather an ally. Kinda hard to reach for bottles and cast when you're burning alive.
Wait you said that the only way a forest fire wouldnt start was if it had rained recently. But wouldn't everything being wet just make more explosions happen?
I suppose its less of a forest fire then since there wouldnt be much forest left to burn
Curses, I have been out-scienced!
That's a dragon that would shit itself if it ever came across an ifrit
Have you considered doing some of the more obscure classes like the "Battle Dancer" from Dragon magazine (also in Dragon Compendium for 3.5 page 26,) on this channel? The Battle Dancer is basically a Chaotic Monk. It seems to me that the real world inspiration was Capoeira the martial art that many believe was developed by slaves taken to plantations in Brazil. In order to hid the fact that they were practicing a fighting style the practitioners of Capoeira could always claim they were just dancing.
I got a long way to go before I start covering the obscure character classes, but never say never, I will probably get to them eventually (my fav was the Duelist from 2nd edition)
Prestidigitation! PrestidigitationPrestidigitationPrestidigitationPrestidigitation!!!
I could imagine Tiamat originally having only 3 heads, and a sister who also had 3. However she beat and took the blue and green heads for herself.
I also like the idea that there is or at least was a Tamait who basically had purple as its main head, yellow and orange, then lastly pink and one more that I am not sure what would be. The cruelty of the orange dragon and the joking pink dragon may not get along too well. Both the purple and orange heads do really hefty damage, so it the yellow and pink dragon heads mainly screwing with the enemy de-buffing and crowd controlling them seems solid. I think because it already got so much damage potential. It has the ability to blind and suffocate with the salt, I forgot the effect of the pink, but was it to make the ground slippery? Basically making it just that much harder to deal with the rest of the shit going on. I wonder what the last head would be good with. It would be great for it to be something that would annoy or cause some extra conflict.
Something extra to really have pissed Tiamat off enough to get rid of her sister other than just a power rivalry. The jokes and the other bs from the pink dragon and the attitude of both the orange and yellow dragon may have already all been annoying as it is. So just one last piece to really make Tiamat go "OK BITCH, Its you OR me. The world is not big enough for the both of us!"
The family bond purple dragons have may be the only real reason the heads would not kill each other or something.
Back to the first idea, what if the both of them originally had more than 5 heads, but the conflict ended up permanently ruining some of the draconic lines. The heads of Tiamat is just the stuff that is left.
Truely unique dragon, internally they have a number of redundent segments with the occasional seed. WIth a wam citric scent but you certainly do not wish to encounter one within an hour of brushing ones teeth
Nothing more terrifying than orange juice and tooth paste
My thanks for gifting me this dragon type, my players are terrified that the one stuck in a mirror of life trapping they found might ever come out (which of course it will, though it may be distracted by the panicking mindflayer and rakshasa that will also be released :)
They will have alot on their plate to deal with but I’m waiting until they realize just how unsecured the mirrors location is where they left it)
HOLY FUCK! It has NAPALM BREATH!?
Karsten Crump THATS WHAT I THOUGHT, LIKE HOLY FUCK, THESE GUYS DONT FUCK AROUND
This thing is awesome. I love making deadly encounters, and this guy is just right for me.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
But, seriously. This breath weapon. Holy Chiquita Banana, Batman. Deliciously evil. X3. But, with maybe a younger Orange Dragon, I could see this being an interesting, and deadly, quest for the materials needed to make a pretty wicked grenade like item for the party. A wicked, useful weapon, yes. But the quest to get it will most definitely scar the party, physically, mentally, or otherwise.
Vinegar. Vinegar would probably pull the goo without igniting the sodium.
Vinegar is diluted with water when produced or purchased, I'd try mineral oil
presumably they metabolize salt - so what happens to the chlorine ? - worth a thought
They create it, Draconic metabolism is partially elemental, like Genasi or Djinn, they could not possibly be able to breathe fire or generate bolts of lighting using normal biological processes. They are alien.
You could use the chlorine in a second breath weapon, something like the green Dragon poison breath or like the Black Dragon acid breath . Maybe the Orange, black and green dragons are closed related speceis on the cromatic dragon's evolutionary tree.
May I suggest? Chlorine + hydrogen (say from water H2O) = hydrogen chloride, which IF used as a breath weapon, makes hydrochloric acid, upon mixing with air water vapor/humidity/fog/mist/cloud.
Or maybe it’s a waste product to them and that could be a way to find their lairs. Just look for the area with chlorinated water, won’t be hard considering all the dead fish.
8:08 Those guys are having the worst (and last) day ever, haha. I feel like this dragon is for the GM that has a group of people that aren't science inclined.
I fear no dragon...but that thing....
_It scares me._
This one sounds fun, im running a "dragons have taken over the world" campaign atm and this could be fun
Oh yes... I think I found my dragon to set on my party as a DM. They've been annoying me lately with their meta-gaming and min/maxing habits. I feel this uncontrollable desire to harm them severely now that they entered a jungle terrain completely out of the module I was using. Yeeeeessssssss.
Mark Torres fanged dragon
Mark Torres just check it out
I did, am debating between the two or just throw a Force Dragon at them...
may I interest u in one pissed off astral dragon :D
terrible dm
I'm reading lamia quest right now and it says that Dragons call anything that can overpower them dragons because nothing can be more powerful than a dragon. Just something other DM might want to use.
Also, orange dragon follower of loviatar?
forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Garyx Devout followers of Garyx
I love this concept. "it's a flying warship, with a captain and a crew, not a dragon, it just defeated you in battle." ans "i wouldn't insult him if i were you human, we dragons hear in more ways than one." reply "it's not a dragon!" ans *metaphores every part of the warship and crew into highly poetic descriptions of a dragon, down to the species of dragon... which eerily matches the behaviour of the ship*
We never got the pink dragon...
*adds to list*
Another great video AJ, I Really see what you meant by that breath weapon, it's almost unfair, and I love it.
AJ you just gave me an idea for a half dragon created via arcane transformation
Hey Wiz! Yohoo! Expand, deepen lore for say Tiamat ( from Queen to Empress due to some events ) as a leverage to officialy make Yellow, Orange, Gray, Brown and Purple? ( not deep that one is fungi, purple is energy ) Think of the potensial, opportunity for fans and business alike, win-win. Imagine the above get ALL expanded upon along with more for Gems and the other 5 set of metallic dragons in a FAT, huuge new Draconomicon and starter sets, minis, expansions, figures, statues and updated rules for upcoming 6e!
Nice i was hoping you'd do this one!
I know that trying to camoflage something this size is difficult, at best but, ...REALLY!? ORANGE!? C'mon...At least tigerstripe the darn thing.
dropdead234 Put some erroded clay cliff faces around. Certain types of clay have different colors and it could easily be the same shade of orange.
judging by its love of fighting does it even want to hide??
It went to the Naruto school of stealth.
Coat the thing in sludge, have it ambush from a mound of mud, it’s a dragon, it’s intelligent. Also, it breathes napalm, Orange is pretty appropriate.
scott grasser Oh yes, its a ganker.
Void dragon soon?
Linnorms? Have the Norse dragons made it to 5e? I was hoping for an ecology on them or at least The Corpse Tearer.
We are getting very close to the vids on the Linnorms.
Oo. Norse dragons.
I always liked how Norse mythology was so different then every other. Where every other belief has a heaven and hell and a relatively happy story. Not with Norse. Odin hanging himself on a tree, enslavement for knowledge, the whole Ragnarok bit where evil will always triumph. Leads for some dark tails indeed.
There are norse lindworms, but no norse dragons, except for very few.
Now I'm only imaging a munchkining player wanting to make an orange Dragonborn as their character
So pilotable giant iron golem vs this monster.
And there was me thinking they liked oranges! ;o)
To dexter asabo don’t forget this is pure sodium not sodium nitrate aka not salt pure sodium blows up when it comes into contact with water think sodium metal
...........NOPE....... just nope. Biggest prick of the dragon world. This must of been the that one night stand kid of Tiamat and a demon/ fiend
Can prestidigitation remove the sticky burning oil?
Joseph Fox yes
Best spell in the game.
Which is more sadistic black or orange?
Pyromaniacs and sociopaths. Lovely creatures. Okey dokey, let's hunts some Orange Dragons they deserved it.
Very similar personality to yellow dragon and black.
Its breath is a cross between a red and yellow dragon
Sick.
So you mentioned jumping into a bag of holding and now I'm actually curious, what do you think would happen to someone in a bag of holding if it were destroyed? Are they destroyed with it? Is the bag a portal to another plane? What exactly is the lore behind these things?
Dreadlum Alias you get ejected into limbo
My new favorite monster! Epic ass vid bro.
So something nice to spice up a Chult adventure.....
Time for create/ destroy ten gallons of water ?
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Completely unrelated but playing as a dragon disciple of this would be fun/ friendly fire is some you have to watch out for. Could probably make actual grenades with it too.......
Charles Russell Playing an Orange Dragonborn would be really fun, even if the breath weapon were nerfed a bit.
Orange Dragonborn Assassin. Codenamed Agent Orange.
So it's basically a manifestation of the entire veitnam conflict(both sides.) seriously i want to award the people responsible for creating it. *pictures a megalomaniacle orinige dragon singing ride of the valkyries while fighting in and thinking about how it's feeding an endless conflict between oringe cobolds and the local goblin population in it's territory. to toughten up it's virtual cobold army to defend the treasure horde in it's lair. and to expand it's reputation as a dragon not to be triffled with as it fights on the kobold side. and to provide itself with an endless source of entertainment as it gluts itself on the horrors of unending jungle warfare. and to put some spirit into the maniacle recordings of it's singing voice* yeah, soft metal is horrendous, the thing about them (inculding sodium) is that because they react with water, they react with YOU, because your body is 80% water, in some ways this worse than acid. there are so many tropes around this... maybe cos i've reached a crittical mass of veitnam media, both fictional & factual. i can picture this dragon creating the most elaborate arrays of non-lethal mind fields, recruiting army's of reverse conscripted child soldiers(where they get to retire if they get old enough.) just for the share possibilities of trama. ranting about being "the sound of thunder" and various rain metaphores, when it has an audience. and rambeling to itself while it's on the move through the "bush" about the most dark, sadistic, psychotic and ghoulishly maniacle topics related to "it's war" of which it's mostly perpetuating, as possibly even currently enacting, and just reveling in it all. this dragon would put people in wheelchairs who don't need them, just cripple people with PTSD, whether or not they escape without debilitating injuries. i suppose it's answer to the question: "who are you at war with?" would be along the lines of "whom ever i can be..." to the reply of "but you know that war is hell." ans "hell is beautifull, hell is profound, hell is an experience that shakes you too the very core of your being." reply "we are fragile souls, and we don't want to be shaken..." ans "nethier do eggs, but by the gods! the omeletts that we make, a chief doesn't doesn't bare mind to the complaints of the chickens." reply "it's evil!" ans "ART!, it is an "art"." *blood saturated quicksand pool starts to form drowining the morally protesting interviewer* yeah, another amazing source of inspiration.
you've set mind mind with ideas on this... that said, what would win out of a yellow and oringe dragon, in nutral elemental territory?
They will kill each other, so, everyone else would be the winner.
AJ Pickett prefably before the PTSD forces them to live out in the "bush" due to their inresolvable tramatic experiences that have perminently fused their psychies with the concept of ganking. *clicks to rewatch you yellow dragon video*
if you were going to paint an existing d&d or pf miniature dragon orange, which one would be the best representation?
Green dragon
How the hell do you use a napalm dragon?
Pull pin and run away.
@@AJPickett treat it like an AC130
as bbeg perimeter guards, of course
Didn't know how badass orange dragons were .i know a gnome who's going to stair and breath heavily if he ever finds this dragons and it's devastating breath weapon
Hopefully the monetization algorithm gods are being kind to your Channel
Yeah fuck that I'm staying away from a orange dragon my D&d group hovever
alright so.. i find it weird that there are two purple dragons now one with the energy breath and is a hybrid between purple and blue.. with frightening intelligence and abilities. and the deep dragon..
When you peel them does their skin squirt acid too.
Talk about a scary dragon o.o
I think I have a new favorite dragon.
Orange Dragons,eh? Makes me feel all tingly in my pants heh heh heh heh! Nice Monster for my multitude of campaigns.....again thanks for the video on the Terrasque I'll have a spell jamming group of "Titanic" player characters ravaging their homeworld in short order as the gods have decreed we must replace the specimen harvested by The Black Company circa year 300 of the Toothless Worm. ♞🕇♜
So, is the damage code for them blasting pools of water just the 6D10 or is it something else?
Fun with chemistry
Doesn't sodium react to oxygen too?
Not as fast I think
@@AJPickett Now that I think of it, it's probably humidity. Which makes sense as to why it's significantly slower.
"has one of the nastiest breath weapons of all the Chromatic Dragons"
Dont tell me... it... it breathes oranges!?
Edit: Thats way scarier than what I thought
LOL, it sure is.
But is it named after the colour or is because they really like the fruit??
If this dragon wants your fruit, give it your fruit.
Never knew that there was an Orange Dragon within the Chromatic line. Hey wanna play D&D with me? I would really love to make a D&D RUclips group like Critical Roll however we will probably use Roll20 for the meet ups. I also plan to run an Adeptus Evangelion campaign! :D
What's their favorite treasure and food?
Hard to say, they like eating things that are still alive.
I wonder if you'll do any videos on Pathfinder only monsters, namely the Daemons.
So they're mostly just a mix of blue dragon and black dragon?
Great dragon really scary, where did you find the stat block? You said just to use the blue and convert a couple things, but I was wondering if you have a source for the breath so I don't have to transcribe it. Thanks for all the info, I'd never heard of Orange dragons before.
60ft' line. Creatures hit burn for 3d10 on hit, 3d10 on the next round, and all creatures within a 15ft radius, except for the creature originally hit, get hit for 6d10. I believe there was a dex save for half on the explosion, but I don't remember the DC.
Thanks friend.
DC depends on CR. Use the table in the Dungeon Master Guide
They seem easier to purposely hunt and kill then prismatic dragons
How wide is it's breath weapon? It's 70 feet long, but how wide is it?🤔
Its a 70 foot line, so not much wider than 5 feet.
What if an orange dragon and a white dragon had a baby together ?
What power would that be ?
Random 🙂 usually
Half orange dragon created via arcane transformation anyone
What class?
Is there a creation story for the non-five Tiamat colored chromatic ones, or are they all just a mix of the originals using RGB light mixes? Like yellow would be the offspring of a red and green, and orange is a red with yellow?
Chromatic crossbreeds result in unpredictable mutations, such as Cobra dragons
Isnt RGB media, tech primary colors? RYB or Red Yellow Blue is the natural, classic primary colors. But yeah
There is a dragon in a dungeon in yawning portal book
My new favorite dragon!!
