I was looking through the Draconomicon and I came across the Pyroclastic dragons. They seem to have more than a passing similarity to the magma dragons Chaos summoned during the Chaos War. Does anyone know if Pyroclasitc dragons existed outside the Draconomicon in an earlier D&D product? If not I think they where inspired by Dragonlance and I’m grateful for the stats in the book. They work perfect for the Chaos dragons.

Thats what I thought when I first saw the Pyroclastic dragon in there. I can't say that I've seen them anywhere else before but it will be interesting to see how they measure up to the true chaos dragons.

Hopefully the Bestiary of Krynn will include the Chaos Dragons.

Pyroclaustic dragons 1st appear in dragon magazine, along with other planar dragons like tartarian dragons. Rust and styx dragons are from 2E planescape.

Fire dragons from Summer Flame are detailed in an old dragon magazine, but that's 2E.

Until then, a pyroclastic dragon might work in a pinch, although they're not exactly the same (fire dragons are somewhat less intelligent, etc).

Cheers,
