Hello all! I wanted to try something new. Sure the Mythic system is still being worked on but I kinda felt compelled to try my hand at making "new" monsters with the rules.
I present: Mythic Dragons! on Google Documents.
Some things to note:
- Prismatic Dragon is NOT done yet. I'll discuss some of the ability ideas later in the post.
- Stat increases from Mythic Subtype tiers are already factored in (subject to change should the system change of course). The 1st and 4th increase goes to strength, the 2nd and 5th goes to constitution, and the 3rd goes to charisma.
- Natural armor increases are also already factored into the charts.
- Some of the rules of the mythic subtype were superseded in my design, primarily the rules concerning 1 mythic ability per mythic tier and I gave myself a bit more free reign while still trying to remain close to its bounds
- Any abilities mentioned in the force dragon that aren't mentioned above in its description use the abilities as mentioned in the Mythic Adventures Playtest document. I fully intend to add them to the dragons' descriptions but it's late at night now so I'll get back to it later.
- I also intend to write out what I'm calling the Mythic Dragon template. To a certain extent it's already written into the Force dragon, I am simply aiming to do so to allow for Mythic to be added to dragons across the various bestiaries.
I haven't made sample dragons yet but they will of course have mythic feats and spells when I stat them up.
When it comes to the Prismatic dragons my thoughts are along similar lines as the Force dragon: Instead of Force Sundering, Prism Strike: natural attacks that randomly inflicts a single prismatic layer (saving throw allowed as normal) each attack. Instead of Gravity Well, Blinding Lights: A blinding aura that can affect creatures of any hit dice and allows a fortitude save. Instead of Barrier Breath, Veil Breath: a prismatic wall line is breathed out (note! there might be multiple levels to make sure a CR 10+ creature isn't getting a Prismatic Wall breath weapon until the most Ancient of Prismatic Dragons [say CR 30 to 35].)
Now a bit of lore!
Putting aside their hatred of each other, if only temporarily, Apsu and Dahak met on neutral grounds to gather power to defeat the Dragon Mistress. Gathering scale from both of them, they formed a powerful telekinetic sphere of force around their scales. Together they imbued the sphere with life through their breath, the sphere formed the egg of the 1st force dragon.
Once it hatched, fully grown and powerful enough to slay nations, the two dragon gods sent the force dragon to do battle with the Dragon Mistress and slay her. The two did great and terrible battle, slaughtering lands in their wake. Yet the Dragon Mistress and her army of dragons drove off the greatly wounded force dragon. Realizing they had underestimated the godlike power of the Dragon Mistress, the two realized the sacrifice they would have to make to ensured the Dragon Mistress fell.
Both severing a talon of their claws, they encased them in a sphere of pure prismatic light. They breathed on the sphere, imbuing it with a shard of their own power and life. This time, egg was of the most beautiful shades of light itself. The prismatic dragon was given life with the purpose of ensuring the Orbs of Dragonkind remained ever separate. Together with the healed force dragon, the prismatic dragon headed to battle with the Dragon Mistress.
The details of the battle is long forgotten now, the world annihilated in the aftermath of the fight. The Dragon Mistress disappeared with the orbs of dragonkind separated across the many worlds and planes. The force dragon and the prismatic dragon returned to their divine creators. The truce between Apsu and Dahak had ran its course and the two agreed to keep the newly created dragons around to keep watch should the Dragon Mistress or any like her return, giving both the right to give birth to more of their kind. Then Apsu and Dahak separated to return to their everlasting war against one another.
There is much speculation on the fate of the Dragon Mistress herself. Some believe she may have been a servant of the dragon mother Tiamat or perhaps Tiamat herself. Others wonder if perhaps the various orbs might move according to her will, perhaps waiting to strike back at Apsu or Dahak. What is known, however, is that there are many mighty prismatic and force dragons across cosmos, ever vigilant for the Dragon Mistress or others that would seek to undermine the will of all dragonkind.
Any comments you might have on the story or stat blocks above, feel free to leave below. Note that I did use Golarion gods for the lore but this is by no means official nor does this mean the story can't be adapted to other dragon gods.
Enjoy.

Dem's some long stat blocks. These stat blocks are going to be added to the above Google document in case modifications are needed as they likely will be. I hope no mistakes were made in the above stat blocks (they involved some copying and pasting other stat blocks in their construction for ease of formatting) but these things are hard work (thank your local paizoites that work on any amount of monster stat blocks, they have a tough job) so I might of missed something. Enjoy, maybe run a party against them or something and as always feel free to leave comments.
P.S. The abilities of the force dragon are in the Google document in the post above this one. This allows for smaller stat blocks but it also means you will need to reference it to help run the creature. Sorry for the inconvenience!
P.S.S. I'd like to thank the HeroLab guys for making their wonderful program as well as ShadowChemosh for putting together the Mythic Add-On for HeroLab (sure it didn't really work with this project but it's truly been wonderful anyways). The have been a great help with this project.
