Any good dragons?

[Fulgerion]

Sick of games that constantly demonize dragons. Tired of all the ignorant hate and murder hobo mentality against them in gaming. Tired of writers always making them the standard copy and paste villains. We can be good guys and loyal companions you know.

EDIT: Was a fun discussion. But I'm tapping out for now. While I could have just googled the answer, I wanted a community opinion, and not some random babble from google. Than you for the insight, and the responses.

Maybe they have metallic dragons?

There used to be a lot of good lore for metalic dragons in older editions.
(pathfinder 1 and 2e also have some great lore there)

Would be nice if Larian does something similar here as sadly WOTC seems to have put it by the wayside.

red dragons are loyal companions to the gith :)

That would be pretty cool to befriend a misunderstood dragon.

the intro sequence is full of dragons that are fighting the evil space squid

Chromatic Dragons are generally evil, Metallic Dragons are generally good.

Oh right. That reminds me. I was supposed to read up on some D&D lore XD.

Red dragons, those are not the good kind.

Merely evil fighting evil.

Sometimes you just have a hankering for calamari.

Just play a Bard, then you can be the "white knight" for all the dragons.

The lore states that Chromatic dragons, the ones based on colors like red, green, white, black, are typically more evil or greedy monsters.
The Metallic dragons, ones that are bronze, silver, gold, are typically more good aligned.
Now there are exceptions in these cases likely, or ones that technically fit good or evil, but depending on how you view their choices in following their creed you may disagree, but that's the basic gist of it.

One of the reasons I like Ebberon so much is that Dragons there run the gamut on alignment , regardless if Chromatic or Metallic. Way more interesting imo.

I need calamari now. It's been years. Hankering is an understatement.

Who cares? Also plenty of games have had good dragons. You are the murder hobo killing everything that moves even for no reward
