the dragon designs from the 5e monster manual, ranked
honestly? thereās a lot i like and a lot i dislike about blue dragons. cool hair-like spines? good. broad chest? good. winning, uh, smile? good! underbite? bad. rhino horn? iconic, so iāll let it slide. mold-spotted wings? eugch. 6/10
look at this thing and tell me you donāt hate it. gold dragons are extinct in my verse because theyāre too stupid-looking to live. this dragon looks like an overdesigned goldfish whoās racist against asian people. he looks like heās the type of stoner other stoners think is insufferably annoying. everything about this creature launches me into a depressive rage. -100/10
my favorite of the chromatic dragons tbh, the huge wingspan and tail fin WORKS here and the double shoulder is weird but realistic. honestly this is a Good Boy who just wants a conversation. 9/10
this illustration has a very storybook feel to it, which i like. everything about this design screamsĀ āthis is the Evil Dragon your heroes will conquerā and iām living for it. the fin mohawk is cool, the wing shape is very well-suited for aĀ creature that can quickly take off and dart through the trees in an overgrown swamp. could lean a little harder on the fact that green dragons are partially aquatic, but iām willing to let that slide with just the spinal fin. 8.5/10
this dragon is a stunner tbh, would make draconic origin sorcerers with. the horns presumably make taking a bite kind of tricky but this guyās clever, heāll figure it out. the monster manual is back at it again with the fin mohawk, and iām loving it. fuckable/10
i like everything (except for the head) but especially the color scheme. the way the body is patterned in distinct stripes is weird but not unforgivable. if not for the triceratops head, this dragon would have a much higher rating, but honestly with its mouth closed it would probably look like a creature that has the mii plaza theme running through its head instead of thoughts at all times. 6.5/10
bold, threatening, and thematic! i love the detail of the charred wing edges and the spiraling horns. other than that, though, itās just A Dragon: nothing more, nothing less. props for not doing anything stupid though 7/10
again, a butterface dragon. it looks like it has a squid strapped to its face or like its face was dripped onto the body from a height and it just kind of splattered. LOVE the wings though 6.6/10
another fin mohawk, this time very deliberately punk-looking. loses points for the unnecessary tail fin and weird wing graspers, buOH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED IT DOESNāT HAVE TEETH BLOWJOB JOKE/10
