	There are two distinct varieties of Brown Dragon in D&D lore; the [[Forgotten Realms]] version and the [[Nentir Vale]] version.		There are two distinct varieties of Brown Dragon in D&D lore; the [[Forgotten Realms]] version and the [[Nentir Vale]] version.

	The Realms version debuted in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition, in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix: Forgotten Realms [[splatbook]], ~~before~~ making it on to the Monstrous Manual. This dragon, also known as the "Great Desert Dragon", is a flightless burrowing dragon that inhabits the desert regions of the Realms, namely Raurin and Eastern Mulhorand, where it competes with the better-known Blue Dragon for prey. Armed with an acidic spray, these Brown Dragons prefer to dig themselves into the sands and then launch themselves at any edible creature that gets nearby. Their favorite food is horseflesh. It's noted that the natives of the deserts have a peculiar respect for these dragons, so they often describe them as less evil than their Blue Dragon rivals. It may be because Brown Dragons have little interest outside of being apex predators and are freely hunted by the natives, whilst Blue Dragons are more inclined to setting themselves up as overlords reigning over human slaves.

	The [[World Axis]] version is, of course, unique to [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], appearing in the Chromatic [[Draconomicon]]. This version possesses distinctive sail-like frills down its sides and ''is'' capable of flight, although they are much better at burrowing. Also known as "Sand Dragons", these Brown Dragons are largely disinterested in the idea of ruling over anything; their most predominant trait is that they are gourmet epicures. Their love of food and cooking skills is so great that a Brown Dragon's hoard is often based on a mixture of exotic animals, long-forgotten (and thus highly valuable!) cook books, cooking utensils made out of fabulously expensive materials, rare spices, precious wines and liquors... basically, Sand Dragons are the only dragons who would earn an entry in the Great Book of Grudges for carrying off barrels of Bugman's XXXXXXXX and enslaving dwarven brewers. Best characterized as hedonists, 4e Brown Dragons only care about living a life of ease and comfort, and so they actively prefer to avoid stirring up trouble with humanoids - raiding a farmer's flocks every now and then is much less hassle than demanding human sacrifices from a neighboring village. These Brown Dragons have a breath weapon made of high-velocity sand gouts, which can scour flesh from bone.

	===Blue Dragon===		===Blue Dragon===
	Blue Dragons are iconic for their single enormous snout-tip horn, like a rhino's. Using powerful blasts of lightning breath to vaporize foes, they are traditionally considered denizens of the desert - which many fans find a little weird, given they are, y'know, ''bright freaking blue''. They have the ability to flat-out destroy water. Unusually this ability is exclusive to them, yet the ability to create indefinitely lasting water from nothing is ''everywhere''. 4th edition made them prefer coastal regions and other places where storms are common instead. They are traditionally portrayed as amongst the most reasonable and least malevolent of the Chromatics; show them respect, and they'll usually leave you alone. They are well known for ~~thier~~ patience, waiting in ambush under the sand for hours or continuously hounding prey as a Persistence hunter. They are also known to form ~~titer~~ family units than most other dragons, being the least likely Chromatic to eat ~~thier~~ sibling. In 5th edition, they're back to living in deserts and dry steppes.		Blue Dragons are iconic for their single enormous snout-tip horn, like a rhino's.

	A Deathmask dragon is a purple dragon from the abyss that grows strong by assimilating the body and soul of its slain victims. They have long, slender bodies with many legs like a centipede, wings that somehow let them fly despite looking too small, and they are covered in the moaning faces of everyone they have killed. They can use psychic ~~attack~~ and their breath ~~weapon~~ cause blindness ~~and necrotic damage~~.

			Battle Dragons are a hybrid of multiple kinds of dragons bred by [[Gruumsh]]. They resemble a mix of a red and gold dragon with green scaled tipped with bronze, red, or gold, with brilliant red wings, and with sharp horns growing on their limbs, tail, and back of the head. Their breath weapon does radiant damage, their bite weakens enemies, and they can give allies temporary hitpoints with their battlecry.

	Red dragons that have changed as a result of being bred by the [[Githyanki]] in the [[Astral Sea]] for use as mounts. They are smaller than red dragons and have darker scales and silvery eyes.
