They finally returned as their own creature in 5th edition. Still a manipulative dragon breed that cherishes obscure knowledge and underground seafood, they are now a subspecies of [[Chromatic Dragon]]s that were warped by the magical energies of the [[Underdark]]. They now have an affinity for fungus, even trading their traditional shadowy breath weapon for a fear-inducing blast of psychotropic mushroom spores. One of their lair effects prevents writing within a 6 mile radius from being damaged by any nonmagical means, which meshes nicely with their "knowledge seeker" lore.

'''Deep Dragons''' are a species of [[Underdark]]-dwelling [[Dragon]] native to the [[Forgotten Realms]], which have steadily been conflated with [[Chromatic Dragon|Purple Dragons]] over the editions.

The Deep Dragon first appeared (possibly) in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix: Forgotten Realms for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd Edition, and from here was reprinted into the Monstrous Manual. Due to this, very, ''very'' little lore was provided to give the Deep Dragons any real detailing. All that players are told is that they are cunning, patient, and their two greatest priorities are survival and the thrill of the hunt... which also somehow translates into them loving to explore. They amass hoards of treasure they scatter in trap and spell-guarded caches. Deep Dragons live deep and far in the Underdark; their claws are capable of tearing effortlessly through stone, and combined with their innate ability to manipulate earthen environments through the spell-like abilities of ''Rock to Mud'', ''Telekinesis'', ''Move Earth'', ''Passwall'' and ''Disintegrate'' as they age, they can go just about anywhere. They have a distinct taste for Underdark seafood - clams, blindfish, [[Kuo-Toa]] and [[aboleth]]s above all else - but will eat anything in sight to survive. They work with the [[drow]], but hate the [[illithid]]s. For pragmatic reasons they avoid conflict with other dragons.

These early deep dragons are one of the few non-[[Metallic Dragon]]s of AD&D with the ability to shapeshift, being able to transform into a dragon, a giant winged worm or snake, a [[human]] or a [[drow]]. [[Dragon Magazine]] would notes that they produce their own distinct breed of [[Half-Dragon]] with drow partners. Their breath weapon is a cone of flesh-corroding gas.

They subsequently returned for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] in "Monsters of Faerun", which had no new lore for them.
