Having scales, they might not understand how painful or dangerous that is for a mammal. They might think it's an irrational fear to something nearly harmless and it's funny to watch us overreact.
Imagine a Copper Dragon having its lair in a mountainous jungle region. It would surely make lots of friends among Faerie Dragons. Just think of this huge prankster being surrounded by a swarm of tiny butterfly-dragons, pulling pranks on EVERYONE in the area. Could make for a fun quest hook...
You walk through a village, and as everyone gets up in the morning, a series of unfortunate and hilarious events overtake the townfolk. It's absolute chaos for a couple minutes, as everyone is triggering prank traps throughout the town. Then the mayor is like "Alright, that's it! We must find who these pranksters are and bring them to justice!" But unfortunately it becomes like a witch hunt, and people seize the accused pranksters and lock them up, only to be pranked again the next morning. The only lead is apparent robberies of the bakery and candy shops...
"they can be bribed with sweets, baked goods and bubbles" i've never felt so aligned with something in my life. i am a faerie dragon and i am now expecting as many bubbles as you can muster
I'm currently preparing a campaign where one of my players will be an Eladrin Druid. Since I like the idea of druids only being able to wildshape into creatures they know well this will be (one of) her form(s). The idea is that she and her family had a fairy dragon as a pet/companion when she was little. Her personality also somewhat matches that of a fairydragon. Can't wait to see it play out.
Funnily enough my first character I ever got to play was a Fae Dragon, our Gm had the idea that it'd be a less complicated character to play, and it was a blast!
They're little pricks, swapped my wizards wand with a regular stick. I failed 2 death saves before my cleric got close enough to heal me in the next encounter.
Their pretty much dragons that where affected by the shadowfell. It makes them slightly evil and stealthier. Though I assume they have the same habits as their original form.
I once had a person in my party always carry around cookies in case they found a fairy dragon. It somehow paid off and they gotten a new companion. The whole party came up with the name Crumpet
So Fairy Dragons like sweets...hmmmm.....*looks at past character sheets* If only I knew this four years ago...my Gnome Chef could have had a fairy friend...
I would personally say that the wings would change at a much more gradual pace.... so a newborn faerie dragon would be entirely red or maybe even with clear wings until they're strong enough to fly which would be when they start gaining color, and then as it ages, the color fades into the wings.... so a violet fairy dragon would have a full rainbow on its wings where the tips haven't changed from red yet.... then, as they get even older, their wings would start to lose some of the other colors as the violet takes over.... so a pure violet faerie dragon would be extremely old
Dragon wings are made from a membrane not scales, so when the art changed I'd say the wings stay the same color, when they were drawn with a more "insect wing" feel to them I'd say that they'd still stay the same color to match with the original lore. Although I'd add in that the older they get the more sheen of various colors from their past age categories add to the brilliance of the wings. But to each gm/dm their own.
in my first game, AD&D, my fighter had a faerie dragon companion through the power of shared joy for pranks and regular offers of sweets. No magical bond or mechanical connection just good roleplaying leading to a deep friendship that at one point saved my characters life as the faerie dragon negotiated on his behalf with a trapped shadow dragon and often led to my character claiming to be the faerie dragons familiar.
Me, talking to my fairy dragon familiar: “Come on Dew, just hop up there and take a look, please?” Dew: “Ruh-uh, no way” Me: “...” Me: “Would you do it for a Scooby Snack?”
Isn't that specific to a certain kind of butterfly? I seem to remember reading an article about a scaled butterfly in South America that inspired some blue car paint technology with odd reflective and durable property's.
Could be used to blow up a bridge and then cast an illusion to make it look like it's still there. The adventurers would fall into a river and the dragon would have a laugh and maybe if their lucky leave behind a cart that has sweets in it.
What better way to wake up a whole village at 5 am? Maybe a group of faerie dragons learn this to make a pyrotechnic show for a small town in exchange of a pie festival. But I would say, that as fey and forest dweling creature... they would stay the HECK AWAY from fire magic.
What better way to convince a little village that a big bad red dragon is there and demands lots of apple pie, and is totally not just a major illusion, than to toss around a few fireballs?
@@ShallowTeal Oh come on, whats a little rule bending if not for some whimsical mysticism. Besides, they are guide lines, its up to the players to forge the fun. Also while true, that it can only target creatures, my argument is, isn't a belt something a creature might be wearing?
@@ShallowTeal Further driving home my point, we all forge our own fun, whether its a subtle tweak or face value take on the rules. Not saying you're wrong or I'm right, but if you keep bringing it up, were gonna need to rest before exhaustion sets in from hitting our now bruised dead horse.
I just saw the thumbnail and asked HOW CAN I OWN ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES! I also think jester from critical role would love having a little fairy mixed with a dragon that she could fed baked goods and candy
I owe my most successful (so far) campaign entirely to this series on dragons and you even inspired me to make all my PC’s modified Steel Dragons because how those dragons work make perfect sense with how the game runs, I just want to see a video over my BBEG a dracolich before you end your run on dragons, maybe even a dual video over shadow dragons and dracoliches?
I've really enjoyed your dungeons and dragons videos so far, as a new dungeon master and player it's been really helpful to get a better idea of what each subject has in the way of lore and not just stats
You forgot to mention their breath, it's pretty much a drug. And what are the requirements for bonding with them? (Or do they follow similar rules like pseudo dragons?) Or just pretty much pay them for their help (like a sugar addict mercenary)
I love your channel so much. I enjoy listening and learning more about d&d lore, but I also put your videos on at night and they help me fall asleep! It’s all great stuff 😎
Will you ever cover Half Dragons? They only have one page in the Monster Manual and I feel like it deserves more. They seem so interesting! Especially as a pc! Well I guess they’re technically not Dragons they’re “Half” Dragons but cmon, it has dragon in the name, yeah?
Thanks for making this video. I am glad that there has been minimal amounts of lore for the Fairy Dragon. It allows and even forces the DM to use their imagination to fill in the gaps.
True Dragons: We are the pinnacle of everything, and we have the *Right* to dominate. 🤬 Fairy Dragons: We just want to eat sweets and have fun, and also, we have tied your shoelaces together. 🤣
True Dragons: My Armor is Contempt My Shield is Disgust My Sword and Fire is HATE! IN ZORQAN'S NAME, LET NONE SURVIVE! Silver Dragons: Ugh, Just ignore em, little dude. Fairy Dragon: Are they gonna be alright? Silver D: Fuck if I know.
Sad to see Mercury dragons didn't get a mention, but I SOOOO appreciate this series existing. My wife wanted me to run a solo campaign for her and I wanted to make it pretty dragon heavy, so having these videos means I can work on my D&D research while I do work. Thank you MrRhexx!
Dude your videos are amazing, i'm currently dming rise of tiamat and before that i dm hoard of the dragon queen, and your lore about the dragons let me roll them exactly as it should be done. Keep up the grat work!
It is true that there are still some more draconic creatures or even dragon's from older editions you could cover but I think it would be ok to look at some of the other creatures and humanoids that make D&D what it is.
Dm: You see a faerie dragon on a tree stump. Player 1: I cast fireball *rolls* 32 Dm: *rolls* Your spell fizzles out harmlessly Player 2: I polymorph into (creature with magic fire breath) and use breath attck *rolls* nat 20 Dm: *rolls* The faerie dragon laughs at you atop the pile of ashes
Turns out draconic breath weapon is neither a "attack" nor a spell in 5e.. (so it can go right through Tiny Hut) so the Faerie Dragons Magic Resistance wouldn't help it, altho' its +5 DEX mod might.. XD
I'm actually taking this series as my go-to to define my starting point on how to use the creatures in my own games. Also I'm making the "corrections" by upgrading their stats with the "correct" lore. My players will for certain enjoy those tougher enemies and allies.
Love your videos, it's been great educating myself on so much of DnD's dragon lore. Personally I would love to see a video of dragon riders! It seems to be such a ill covered topic in DnD, and I'd be nice to have a concise overview of how dragon riders or tamers even work in 5e (if at all).
Yeah but for deep dives we have AJ Pickett. He's got aaaaaaaaaall the dragons. Even the gem variations He's given Rhexx a few shout outs too whenever he drops a video covering stuff he missed
Is this fucking aj's channel no it isnt. I don't care what aj does. we want rhexx to do it. Cause aj misses shit. So stop telling us to settle and stop pretending aj's are so much deeper when there not on average rhexxs have way different info so I would thank you to shut the fuck up.
3:42 Ayy, Flight Rising dragons! Also, this has been my most awaited entry, I always wished I knew more about these pretty little guys, they seemed like a fun inclusion as a companion~ Thank you for covering them!
Kinda sad, that you leave big boy Bahamut and sister Tiamat to the celestial/gods part. Would have been a good end for the dragon segment i.m.o. but you do you ... it is of excellent quality.
i want to thank you for making these videos, it really has gotten me into dnd lore. sorta like a bestiary your videos are super informal as a player (and future DM) all this info is going to be super handy
Small detail, but Fae are vulnerable to cold IRON, not steel. Been a while since I read up on D&D Fae, so they may have changed the lore for the game, but yeah. In real Fae lore it's cold iron.
@@K_i_t_t_y84 An excellent question. The reason is that in the old legends, Fae were weak to specifically COLD iron. This meant iron that had never been treated by fire or flame, as opposed to just being at a low temperature. So while steel does have iron in it, the metals had to be heated and smelted in order to form the steel alloy. 😊
But What About Kobolds? We need lore too! We have been here way longer than Dragon Born and are also playable, why don't we get a video? Most adventurers will encounter more Kobolds than any other Draconic Race, and yet we do not get a Video.
Am I crazy remembering them as little dog men? When I was told they were tiny dragon men I was sooo confused. Was it in a previous edition before 5e or am I just misremembering
Okay, I already knew I liked Faery Dragons because of them being pranksters. But learning how social they are, and their addiction to sweets? I absolutely love it! I’ll have to either make one a friend to a character, or set up some little encounters featuring these tiny sweeties for my players in a multi-planar campaign I’m setting up.
I am running a campaign where one of the players is playing a Faerie Dragon from homebrew rules. Thank you for this video it will help give him better ideas on how to play his little dragon.
Actually butterfly wings are covered in scales. Blue is not a naturally occurring pigmentation in butterflies, they only appear to have blue wings because of how light reflects off the scales on their wings.
My 7-year-old has a halfling rogue that's a kid as well and loves playing tricks. I so need to find a way to give her a faerie dragon companion, not only would it be fun for her, it would be super cute. Gotta get them hooked when they're young, right? Thanks for this and all your videos, they're a ton of fun to watch and really interesting. Keep it up, it's all awesome!
as I am designing a campaign that will be set in the faywild (which happens to be my first campaign I create for the first game I will DM), this spesific video is very useful to me, now that I know about them more extensively I'll be able to incorporate one or two of those Faerie Dragons in said campaign, thank you :D
I hope you do celestials & if so I hope you start with the Aasimar. This player race is really interesting & very overlooked. Not to mention they have a non level adjusted version in 3.5.
Faerie Dragon: tricks traveler into opening up a chest of bees
Faerie Dragon: IT WAS JUST A JOKE BRO, RELAX.
When that. Doesn't work " *its just a social experiment* "
I'd think they are more careful than that.
Because if they aren't, they'd go extinct with all those people out there.
Having scales, they might not understand how painful or dangerous that is for a mammal. They might think it's an irrational fear to something nearly harmless and it's funny to watch us overreact.
the player: AND THIS, IS MY JOKE [swings giant hammer]
Imagine a Copper Dragon having its lair in a mountainous jungle region. It would surely make lots of friends among Faerie Dragons.
Just think of this huge prankster being surrounded by a swarm of tiny butterfly-dragons, pulling pranks on EVERYONE in the area.

Those are butterfly wings, and butterflies actually have scales on their wings.
Thank you for this. I commented the same thing.
We definitely have scales on our wings, and they do act like like fairy dust when they're easily shed.
Butterfly wings have microscopic scales though. Eh whatevs
There’s probably a somewhat big difference between dragon and bug scales, also I didn’t know that either so I could see it being a mistake
Good thing it's not a butterfly then
I said the same thing- guess I love bugs too much

3:42 Ayy, Flight Rising dragons!
Also, this has been my most awaited entry, I always wished I knew more about these pretty little guys, they seemed like a fun inclusion as a companion~ Thank you for covering them!
Will you make a Shadow Dragon Video?
theres not much lore on them tho, they are just chromatic dragons born and corrupted in the shadowfell
I would love it if you covered the creatures of the Draconomicon! Especially Howling Dragons!
Kinda sad, that you leave big boy Bahamut and sister Tiamat to the celestial/gods part. Would have been a good end for the dragon segment i.m.o. but you do you ... it is of excellent quality.
Love your DnD lore vids, please keep up the good work.
"It is funny because it has been cataloged the incredible degree that ̶m̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶i̶o̶d̶ a fairy dragon would go for baked sweets."
i want to thank you for making these videos, it really has gotten me into dnd lore. sorta like a bestiary your videos are super informal as a player (and future DM) all this info is going to be super handy
Would love to hear about the giant purple wurm The one that had the instakill poison.
I wish I didn't find you for another few years so I could just binge the dnd videos
Small detail, but Fae are vulnerable to cold IRON, not steel.
Been a while since I read up on D&D Fae, so they may have changed the lore for the game, but yeah. In real Fae lore it's cold iron.
But Steel has iron in it? Why wouldn't they be weak to both?
@@K_i_t_t_y84 An excellent question. The reason is that in the old legends, Fae were weak to specifically COLD iron. This meant iron that had never been treated by fire or flame, as opposed to just being at a low temperature. So while steel does have iron in it, the metals had to be heated and smelted in order to form the steel alloy.
😊
fire ball to the face...
"Its just a prank, bro! Look there, its camera!"
BLUE DRAGONS!?!?!?! PLEASE I NEED THEM!!!!
ruclips.net/video/JGqJlNyHjE4/видео.html
Already went through them
Thank you I couldn't find the video anywhere on his channel
3:53
"and Grains..."
AND BRAINS??
Oh... oh okay.
But What About Kobolds?
We need lore too!
We have been here way longer than Dragon Born and are also playable, why don't we get a video? Most adventurers will encounter more Kobolds than any other Draconic Race, and yet we do not get a Video.
Yes! Give video! Video for Tucker's yipping hordes!
i thought kobold were just moving punching ball
Am I crazy remembering them as little dog men? When I was told they were tiny dragon men I was sooo confused. Was it in a previous edition before 5e or am I just misremembering
Where are the rules that say certain things are not playable?
Okay, I already knew I liked Faery Dragons because of them being pranksters. But learning how social they are, and their addiction to sweets? I absolutely love it! I’ll have to either make one a friend to a character, or set up some little encounters featuring these tiny sweeties for my players in a multi-planar campaign I’m setting up.
What about the gem dragons and 3rd party dragons like from tome of beasts? Those would be cool. Although it will be cool to see other things though.
Faerie Dragons. AKA the absolute best type of creature to make your little sister immediately like your more niche hobbies.
A project of Fae Dragon from FR by NeonDragon?
Thank you for putting your sources in the description.
Mr.Rexx could you do videos on Gryphons and other Gryphon like creatures? Please 🤓
Griffon. But yes. This. ^^^
@@AmigoRoberto Griffin!
I am running a campaign where one of the players is playing a Faerie Dragon from homebrew rules. Thank you for this video it will help give him better ideas on how to play his little dragon.
9:05 no faerie dragon video without the best known faerie dragon B]
Puck ehh.
As insect-like dragons. It makes sense they CRAVE for sweets.
Actually butterfly wings are covered in scales.
Blue is not a naturally occurring pigmentation in butterflies, they only appear to have blue wings because of how light reflects off the scales on their wings.
My 7-year-old has a halfling rogue that's a kid as well and loves playing tricks. I so need to find a way to give her a faerie dragon companion, not only would it be fun for her, it would be super cute. Gotta get them hooked when they're young, right?
Thanks for this and all your videos, they're a ton of fun to watch and really interesting. Keep it up, it's all awesome!
hey after the dragons can you do one on displacer beasts?
kinda want to know more about those guys
What about iron dragons and gem dragons
YESSS Faerie dragons, Finally. Now just do the rest: song dragons, gem dragons etc. So far it has been great, keep up the good work!
When will you do the elder brain
as I am designing a campaign that will be set in the faywild (which happens to be my first campaign I create for the first game I will DM), this spesific video is very useful to me, now that I know about them more extensively I'll be able to incorporate one or two of those Faerie Dragons in said campaign, thank you :D
After dragons can you talk about giths?
Giths, as in Githiyanki and Githzerai?
@@Grybster Yes
I hope you do celestials & if so I hope you start with the Aasimar. This player race is really interesting & very overlooked. Not to mention they have a non level adjusted version in 3.5.
Who drew the picture used in the thumbnail? Link to their gallery if possible?
I would like to know too. It was really well made and beautifully colored! :o
I wanna play a faerie dragon trickster cleric now.
