Behaviour

Its Chaotic Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Young Flame Dragon is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Dragons in D&D canon trace to Bahamut and Tiamat, with each lineage having its own founding myth. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
