True Dragon?
Are these things true dragons? or just dragons? ~ Lhynard (talk) 19:23, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's a good question. I guess true dragons are clearly defined only in 3rd edition, while the vishap only exists in 2nd edition. I don't have access to the 3rd edition Draconomicon for more clues, so I based my judgement on the fact, that the vishap does have the usual twelve age categories, unlike all the other lesser dragons. So the question is: Is this fact sufficient together with the definition in the Draconomicon? I doubt that any third edition source will mention the vishap as a true dragon directly.

 * Usually, without a source, it is best to play it safe in regards to things and not speculate. On the other hand, if they do have the age categories, it seems like they should fit in the true dragon category. But on the other hand again, the Draconomicon claims that it provides an exhaustive list of the true dragons up to the time of its publication. I could go either way, I think.


 * In any case, we could wait and see if others have opinions.

 * P.S.: FWIW, Draconomicon claims that it provides an exhaustive list of the lesser dragons also, and vishap isn't there either, so one could use the same reasoning as above to argue that that makes them true dragons!
