@TheEdVerse Why are there so many types of dragon and dragon-like beings? I mean, of course, from a design/business perspective it's a simple "because dragons are cool," but is there an in-world reason? Io was just creatively prolific? Competition between Tiamat and Bahamut?

1)
As Gary said, years ago, “The name of the game is Dungeons & DRAGONS.” The Realms has to be home for the whole roster. I postulated that dragons are in all the worlds and planes, but found Toril a rich environment to dwell and breed in. Hence so many. They… 2)

I would expect Krynn to have more Dragons than Toril though. Me, too.

Wolfgang nurtures coolness, and shares it with the rest of us. He always has.

And Sardior. Everyone seems to forget Sardior. Nobody loves Gem Dragons it seems…always a D&D Afterthought 🥲 Oh, I can't forget Sardior. I have NINE NDAs that directly involve him.
[[And before someone from Legal rises in wrath to say I can't divulge/confirm any content from NDAs: both the law and NDA wording have changed greatly over the years. For these, I can.]]
