The Dreaded Pink Dragon - You'll Only Laugh Once.

This great pink beast is covered in thick scales, it's claws and horns are distinctly candy-striped. The only reason you've yet to burst out laughing is it's great dagger-sized teeth, and the the distinct sensation of frostburn you have just from standing near the beast.

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Ice Shape (Su)
A pink dragon can shape ice and snow at will. This ability functions as stone shape, but only targeting ice and snow, not stone. A white dragon's caster level for this effect is equal to its Hit Dice.

Icewalking (Ex)
This ability works like the spider climb spell, but the surfaces the dragon climbs must be icy. The dragon can move across icy surfaces without penalty and does not need to make Acrobatics checks to run or charge on ice.

Snow and Smoke Vision (Ex)
A pink dragon learns to see perfectly well in snowy conditions and smoky conditions (such as those created by pyrotechnics). A white dragon does not suffer any penalties to Perception checks while in snow.

Aura of Cold and Flame (Su)
An adult pink dragon is surrounded by an aura of intense heat. All creatures within 5 feet take 1d6 points of fire damage and 1d6 points of cold damage at the beginning of the dragon's turn. An old dragon's aura extends to 10 feet. An ancient dragon's damage increases to 2d6.

Habitat and Ecology:

There are few places in the world where Red and White dragons interact and often their interactions end in violence. Occasionally though, a desperate and aging Red may seduce a white in order to spawn offspring. These abominations are the dreaded pink dragons. Possessing the strengths of both parents and none of their weaknesses, Pink Dragons usually lair atop snowcapped volcanoes.

Some heroes assume Pink Dragons are weaker and easier to kill than their white or red parents. Such heroes never return from their foolish quests. More cunning than white dragons, and possessing an almost schizophrenic ability to focus their rage into lazer like precision or blind destructiveness. Pink Dragon's unpredictability is only matched by one other quality: They all hate being laughed at - and laughing at them is a mistake you'll only make once.

Notes: The Pink Dragon is a white dragon with the Red Half-Dragon template added. I also added some of the Red Dragon's other abilities supernatural and spell-like, as well as additional sorcerer spells known (but not more per day).

I like this. It shows a good creativity on everyone's favortie subject, Dragons. One question though. Can they breed?

Sure, a half pink Dragon would simply be a creature with the half dragon tplate applied twice (once for red once for white)


Hoard: Every Pink Dragon possesses a duck of doom in its treasure hoard.

This is simply awesome.


What if... (I'm sorry, I'm a copy pasta jerk...)

Silly Presence (DC 23 Will) - This special quality makes a creature’s very presence ironic to foes. This ability occurs when it's presence is known. Opponents within range who witness it's presence may become affected by the spell Hideous Laughter, but for 5d6 rounds instead of the spell's duration.

Add a smile, some fluffy cuteness here and there, and we may just give the Tarrasque a run for his money... Or not, I've never actually fought dragons... Except a baby one.

PUT THE DUCK DOWN!!! [smacks duck out of player's hand] You should know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon.

I'm so using this for my run.
