D&D 5e dragon monsters
Dragons are large reptilian creatures of ancient origin and tremendous power. True dragons, including the good metallic dragons and the evil chromatic dragons, are highly intelligent and have innate magic. Also in this category are creatures distantly related to true dragons, but less powerful, less intelligent, and less magical, such as wyverns and pseudodragons.
The D&D 2024 SRD has 45 dragon monsters. Open one for its full statblock, or copy it into the editor and make it your own.
