Behaviour
Young Prismatic Dragon is intelligent, vain, long-memoried; it remembers slights for centuries and rewards loyalty in kind. Its Neutral 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. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Young Prismatic Dragon is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 3 (2022). 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.
