Perhaps the most well-known dragon illustration in RPG history: Elmore's Basic Set cover. And of course it's a red one... |
I like
dragons, I really do.
I
like them to be powerful and terrible opponents with “human” weaknesses; this
last characteristic is the reason why I find them superior to all other monsters.
I played with delight the first seven or eight modules of the Dragonlance campaign,
and every time I read The Hobbit I’m awed by Smaug and overjoyed at living
again the wonderful adventures of Bilbo and his bearded companions.
Good
dragons are obviously an interesting element (I still find that part of Dragonlance a good one), but the REAL dragon must be
evil. And it must be red.
Ok:
acid-spitting, lightning-spewing, gas-blowing dragons of different colours can
be fun too, but no one of them beats the fiery breath of a red dragon, the incarnation
of ruin, destruction and devastation. And maybe of vanity too!
