Dungeons & Dragons Planar Dragons: Shadow Dragons (A Complete Guide)

[@KS-PNW]

Just fyi everyone commenting helps w/ the algorithm (allegedly even more so than liking) , even just saying "that was cool" or something simple will get this video in front of more eyeballs. Easy way to show our appreciation and help the channel out...

Fantastic video. really love this longer more in-depth look at a dragon. I think shadow dragons work well as the sort of spy or mysterious character with PC not rely understanding what kind of dragon they are dealing with till they get into combat. It can be a really easy misdirect with a dragon silhouette not necessarily changing.

[@nicthedm7650]

I agree. The mysterious aspects of the dragon really give a Dungeon Master the ability to mess with players. Especially with their affinity for stealth and stalking. Having the Players find signs of pursuit for days on end but never identifying the tail, combined with draconic silhouettes in the sky. Perfect for a nervous party.

This video really helped. I'll play a high elf transformed by the shadowfell (shadarkai stats) in a couple of weeks that wants to free and heal a former gold dragon turned shadow dragon now. It was really hard to get informations about how shadow dragons really think and act!

[@Lethrael]

Perfect timing! Working on a campaign centred around shadow dragons. This helped a lot, thank you!

[@nicthedm7650]

Happy to help!

[@Thimbrethil]

Ow I love this. Now I want to lead campain with mighty Shadow Dragon with Red Wizzards of Thay conquering some kingdom.

[@nicthedm7650]

That could be a really interesting combination!

[@JamesBosse1]

Great content! Thanks for delving into the one of the coolest dragon types!

[@nicthedm7650]

Thank you, and I totally agree. Shadow dragons have to be one of my new favorites.

[@KS-PNW]

This was really well done man. I love that your doing longer videos. I really think that will pay off long-term, one of these days i bet you'll see subscriber numbers take off✈️

[@nicthedm7650]

Thank you. I really hope it does pay off, I'm glad you enjoyed.

[@leadingauctions8440]

Excellent video.

[@AttaMan]

Great video. Would it be possible for you to do a video on Zekyls? 17:21 City of Chaulssin.

[@nicthedm7650]

I'll add it to my list!

[@michaelmayer5067]

Another great video, thanks 👍

[@nicthedm7650]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PhalisoBringerOfDoom]

Cool video, are there any planar dragons from the elemental planes?

[@nicthedm7650]

Yes actually. 4th edition added 4 varieties of planar dragons that originate from the Elemental Chaos. The Blazewyrm, Dragon Eel, Tempest Dragon, and Pyroclastic Dragon. I have a video on the Pyroclastic Dragon (2 actually, one for the 3rd edition and one for the 4th edition) in my Planar Dragon playlist.

[@CDarkmoon]

Have you done a video on Concordant dragons? Or do you have any plans of doing one? 🙂

[@nicthedm7650]

I haven't covered the Concordant Dragons quite yet. I'm still stuck in the maelstrom of the Abyss working on some Demon videos right now but once I'm finished I plan on getting back to Planar Dragons.

[@allenmciver1888]

Run with half a brain this is the most dangerous of dragons, shy of the genius Obsidian dragons. I am writing a Fan Fic where my Blue Dragon ruler, High Priest of Tiamat, the one thing he is scared of is the Shadow Dragon Necromancer. If he ever starts to lose, he fly into the nearest town and breathes on the town square. Eff an army of Skeletons, instant army of Shadows. Then him and the town swarm the party. Mine of course combined natural talent to be a full Necromancer so it just gets worse.

[@MrFantocan]

ignoring zekyl is lame for a shadow dragon video

[@nicthedm7650]

There was enough Zekyl lore that I wanted to give them their own video. But I probably could have mentioned them.

[@jdomond1]

Edgy dragons lol

[@LordOfFlies]

You should make a video about vampire dragons if they exist!

[@nicthedm7650]

The certainly do, and I for sure will!

[@LordOfFlies]

@@nicthedm7650 Nice! The Lord Of The Print have a really cool miniature called "blood-sucking dragon" that would make for a sick vampire dragon.

[@nicthedm7650]

@@LordOfFlies Oh! It has a really interesting beak-like thing, if I'm looking at the right one.

[@LordOfFlies]

@@nicthedm7650 Yea exactly that one, kind of reminds me of a mosquito haha.
