Dragon colors as they age.


Advice


I remember reading once how the colors and shades of dragon scales would change as they aged. Which ones would become more vibrant and which would fade to dullness.

Anyone remember where this info was? Was it in the 3.0 monster manual? Does anyone have the description for ancient green dragons?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

From d20srd.org: A wyrmling green dragon’s scales are thin, very small, and a deep shade of green that appears nearly black. As the dragon ages, the scales grow larger and lighter, turning shades of forest, emerald, and olive green, which helps it blend in with its wooded surroundings.

I think this kind of description dates back to AD&D 2e, but D&D 3.5 is easier to get online.


Thanks! The group was able to fight and defeat the dragon, in TrueColor!
