	Being a goddess Tiamat isn't bound to one physical form and can take any physical shape she desires though how that is expresses will always be a reflection of her inherent nature. Given that pride and greed are her defining character traits, whatever form she takes will be suitably impressive. When taking a human form she is typically dark haired with otherworldly beautiful features. However this beauty hints at her darker nature as those who have seen her described her as being too beautiful as though her features were actively trying to get you to entice you while hiding something sinister.

	This supernatural allure is intentional as Tiamat wants all to bow down and worship her. Her greed knows ~~know~~ bounds as does her wrath at being slighted or insulted. As greed is one of her defining traits this gives rise to extreme jealousy towards what she does not have while bending all of her power and will to obtain what she craves. The best way to role-play Tiamat is to imagine every evil queen in fairy tales, amplify them to deific levels, and take their desire to be the fairest/greatest in the land while multiplying it 5X. Add the cunning and intelligence of Hannible Lecter (though without the people eating because lets face it would you eat an ant? Crush it sure but eat it? eww.) and the patient planning skills of Ra's Al Ghul and you pretty much have Tiamat.

Aside from using a beautiful appearance to serve her plans, Tiamat like most evil queens desires to be the fairest of them all. If she shows up to a ball, she'll have gems and precious metals on her everything. If she thinks another woman at the party has a better hair style, she'll curse that woman to baldness. If you have some super awesome treasure and she sees it, she'll have her 6 boy toys break your knees and take it. By the way she has six consorts and when she's not scheming or carrying out her schemes she has them servicing her meaning that unlike Bahamut whose servants are seen as figuratively his children for Tiamat many of her servants are literally her children. But don't go thinking she's the town bicycle as she has very strict standards for choosing her consorts. Her six sexual aids are among the strongest of chromatic dragons and it's ultimately power she finds sexy not a pretty face. She'd even go so far as to have a human consort is they were some kind of super-powerful demigod and she wanted a super-powerful half-dragon child for her plans.

	Unlike her brother and father, Tiamat has five heads, with each head being of a different color (White, Black, Green, Blue, and Red). She has the abilities of all of the [[Chromatic Dragon]]s, with each head able to use its associated breath weapon, on top of her immense physical size and a massive, sting-tipped tail, like that of a [[wyvern]].

	* [[Eberron]] has a vastly different Tiamat. Tiamat is not a true god but [[Rakshasa\|a demon overlord]] that was imprisoned long ago.

Her minions, like those of the other overlords, are attempting to free her. If they succeeded it would be dark times for Khorvaire, not merely because of Tiamat herself but because the dragon armies will go full scorched earth to contain or destroy her (and if you're unlucky, they'll do this just because of the possibility).		* [[Eberron]] has a vastly different Tiamat.

At full strength she's the most dangerous monster you can come up against in 5E by a wide margin, she regenerates HP each turn, does an insane amount of damage (more than any other monster in the game, her average damage is enough to kill a level 20 character in one round) and can't be effected by spells level 6 or lower.
	** She managed to act surprisingly affable in the ''Descent into Avernus'' adventure. Since the Holy City of Elturel has been bound by infernal chains, the players will need something with serious punch to destroy them.

Of course, she '''hates''' Zariel, who commands that level at the time. Of course if all goes well if you get her on your side, her loyal servant Arkhan stands to become the new rule of Avernus.		** She managed to act surprisingly affable in the ''Descent into Avernus'' adventure.

	'''Tiamat''' was the goddess of seawater and one of the two primordial gods in Mesopotamian mythology, the other being her husband Apsu, god of freshwater. The other gods were the result of these two fucking literally 24/7. In fact, the two tried to kill the other gods since the kids' constant partying distracted them from fucking eachother, so the kids killed them and fashioned the world from their corpses.
