- One of the lesser known, neutral Metallic dragons, Mist dragons are reclusive, legendary sages and scholars, though they are not overly inclined to share their knowledge with anyone else.

I could see a mist dragon allowing a wizard to study some old ruin its laired in, provided he’s quiet and doesn’t damage the ruins, or a clever thief could tell one of these dragons that he’s been hired by a researcher to take tracings of some the carvings in the temple in order to gain access to a ruin containing an ancient treasure that the dragon is currently nesting in.
Huh... So the one time I ran into a Mist Dragon was as Vorse the Minotaur Paladin. Though the dragon was in the form of an old sage woman that approached Vorse while he was alone on his watch and camping with his new party members. Interesting conversation, and not once did I bother asking why the old woman was there bothering me about the current events of the realms.
Mostly just told her/him? that there is an Overlord that is working for some unknown evil power and trying to bring the whole continent into heel. The conversation was odd because the old sage asked me about the Sun Sword I had hidden, the first alarm I had and was preparing for a possible fight. The sage then tells me the sword was once from one of many Bahamut's temples and wondered where I got mine. Told the sage my story, and she acknowledged I am a worthy holder of the sword and should take care of it. I gave her my word that once my mission is completed or should I fall before completing the task; that I hope the next wielder will take the sword to a temple of Bahamut and give it proper respects.
The sage woman seemed pleased and left during the night through the mists. Vorse couldn't detect any evil from her but was still on guard while admiring the lore of the Sun Sword he found in an old ruins that an evil black dragon took over.
Mist Dragons would make cool quest givers. Sending players to gather knowledge that for one reason or another, they cannot gather themselves
Not killing green dragon is strategic mistake, or the mist dragon shoud simply alarm the nearest hill giants about the green menace.
Even though I don't actually play D&D, I found Your channel amazing and informative for anyone who really loves fantasy world and creatures 💓💓💓💓💓 Good job 💓💓💓💓💓
Thank you!
Dragons, dragons everywhere
So many dragons, they're tripping over each other.
ITS GREAT!!
Trevor Cormier why not introduce something that can slay/kill them. i don't personally mind the idea of something like dragon riders or familiars being the dragons of the bloodline of sorcers or something. but it kind of breakes the lore tropes if you have average joe dominating the will of an egomaniacle, city destroying dragon, so i prefure the idea of "only dragons can rule dragons." where the personality of the humanoid embodies the same traits as the dragon, failing this the dragon wont "listen" to them, so you end up with basically just the same worse case sonario you've described, except your dealing with the megalomanic personalities of people instead of just massive flying lizards that want to eat you.
“Dragons, dragons everywhere, and all of them to drink.”

Ah yes, the grandpa dragon.
AJ are there any heals dragons? The cleric spells made me wonder
Yeah, celestial dragons. Coatl
I always imagine these guys as the more jungle-y, draconic version of the Owl Librarian character from Avatar, the Last Airbender.
I can't wait to see the video about the Abysal Dragons
Well, maybe a little wait... not too long though
Thank you for your hard work.
Mist Dragon lives in Chult you say... Well, guess who is running Tomb of Annihilation... *Rubs hands together*
Yep, it's official, there are mist dragons there :)
Coming back to look for material for a DND game happening in the quasi elemental plane of steam.
Wow, thanks for this video. Honestly, I know nothing about these dragons.
More to come Sugar! They get progressively cooler, the Mercury dragon is up next (distant sound of kung fu fighting)
Great video I love the image of a dragon smoking a pipe its both cool and funny
What price would a Mist Dragon pay for the contents of a Leshays mind/memories?
So a dragon that is perpetually "indesposed" XD i love it. and it has a spell casting mist-form incombat aswell & can create that *smoke* as a larping all powerfull mage who despises all social interactions under pain of death... unless you've brought them something truelly "facinating", oh my so many hillarious tropes of "the well educated" in one dragon. that green dragon keep away, and keep away contract would be a pretty intense read... "they are compulsive manipulators..." they have an overpowering urge... to irrationally manipulate... for its own sake, i absolutely love it and ofcourse this is also a trope of the well educated, an idd driven overwhelmingly powerfull malevolent aquaintance that nearly has your life on a thread, that they can "de-spose" of in afew quick and efficient steps, that they keep around as it serves their perpouses in someway. and when mr mist does happen to save you from mr green, instead of feeling greatfull. you feel inaddiquated by your glaringly low level as it wasn't an act of compassion that delivered you from the clutches of evil. no... just an act of mere "convince". with all of those mist powers, they could create a massive(mountain sized) cloud version of themselves & fire lightning bolts(nimbus clouds) through their mouth. and play out the trope you often see in anime, the old: "i am litterally invincible. so re access your life or causally go insane as i have invalidated your martial agency intirely." now that i really think about it, as they hold sway over all mists, they could come off as more intimidating than a red. less dangerous, but more intimidating. in away it kind of makes me think of what it would be like going up against a really powerfull and clever unbound genie(air), esspecially if they can drag it out, slowly convincing you that they are as intangable as they are lethal. even going so far as to fake their own death several times before their escape attempt, or maybe trying to convince you that they are litterally immortal aswell.
Hey yeah, a mist dragon could easily impersonate a Genie, that is a great idea!
AJ Pickett could it technically kill by asphyxiation? since your breath condences right? that would be the ultimate finishing move after all the psychological toying. "aye indeed when you are perpetually inconvenienced in your indeseposal one inevitably begins to feel as though we cannot "breath". as such it is intirely thus an intrepidly "mortal" afair, as one begins "presently", and to inescapably personally "inquire". ah' yes indeed my inquisitive intruder we explore the final momentary passage through the veil into the here after as one. thus i am inquisitively "facinated" after all."
Name me one type of dragon you *would* be okay getting into a physical confrontation with?
Oh pseudodragons, absolutely, some of them can be real jerks.
I AM THE MIST DRAGON !!!!!
Mist dragons are my favorite Dragon
but wait, there's more!
Good Sage, have you told us the story of the Times of Troubles yet? I went back through the old playlist, which is quite the adventure itself, but didn't find this topic covered. could you shed some light on this please? Thankyou and keep up the great work
Not yet, but Jorphdan has, check his vid out ua-cam.com/video/I82AMd9Gj9c/v-deo.html
So, batman if he were a dragon. With the whole super smart and planning before battle stuff.
Hello I know you are doing dragons but could you maybe do the nightwalker. Please.
Nightwalker is on the list (I'm bumping them up a little bit)
I'm stuck between wolffolk,jackalfolk,lupox they all scene so awesome
could you do a vid on gorgons? they are a pretty interesting monster :)
Please do the Radiant Dragon.
I wonder if they would want to take the memories that an aboleth has, since those have more memories than anything else I can think of. Are aboleth minds too evil and twisted or could a strong mist dragon handle it?
Aboleths have so much memories/experience passed on through the eras...
The mist dragons may themselves pass on memories to their newer generations but in a much more selective way, and probably not very often.
The most dragons in my campaign is different then the original
I did not know you noticed my comment.
I couldn't find the description that ist dragons have wings. In fact most are described to look more like lung dragons, with a serpentine body. I would like to know for reference please.
Sounds like they replaced the mist dragons with emerald dragons
Just like it is dragging along just care for his books more than everyone else dragons
Do a video on Fairy Dragons!
You are awesome
I do my best.
Miss dragons sounds like wild creatures from the Mist you're seen that movie
Aj 😍 you should do a xvart video 🙂
Rylie Mcguire happy to, they are on the list already :)
please do deep gnomes
Metallic dragons? I must have... mist... something
Believe it or not (they're walking on air).
:D
Ummm... excuse me. the very first Mist Dragon appeared in August of 1983, on the world of Greyhawk. it did NOT first appear in the Forgotten Realms, I'm saddened... your lore is usually better prepared
My apologies.
But what about COUATLS!!!
Added them to the list (though they are not dragons, certainly need a video on them!)
How do the myst dragons raise their children?
Dragons are born with a lot of innate knowledge, for example, they don't need to learn how to speak, they just know. Different dragon breeds raise their offspring in their own way, the metallics are thought to be far more involved with their children, but its not always the case, with Mist Dragons, they are such asocial creatures that even their own children are unwelcome company, so they really do spend most of their lives alone, not really knowing their parent (and forget involvement from both of them, only the mother tends to hunt and drop off wounded prey for the kids, maybe some interesting items, creatures and books to play with and learn from, other than that, not much interaction at all. (this is not a lack of caring for their young, the parents will defend them viciously. It's just a total dislike for having company.)
@@AJPickett Fascinating. but with that answer now I must ask, how do the myst dragons come together to repopulate if they're so vehemently secluded by nature? what are the mating rituals, if there are any.
I mist this
*snare drum*
Didn't you just hit 10k too?
Yeah I did :)
In 5E, do you add proficiency to your to hit bonus! I don't believe so, but my players keep protesting.
3.14 Dragon "... the bonus is used in the rules on ability checks, saving throws, and attack rolls" p. 173 PHB 5e
3.14 Dragon Anything a character has any skill or training in, they add the proficiency bonus. For example, a wizard trying to use a battle axe? No proficiency bonus.
What are they doing with that knowledge anyway? Knowledge is ment to be shared so not doing so makes it all pointless. I can understand them not wanting to be bothered because they are busy in conversation with someone else, but they shouldn't mind every other time as long as the person is being respectful and would be nice to hang around with from time to time as their conversations would be very interesting.
Knowledge not shared is pointless? Heh, that is very firmly in the corner of one branch of philosophy. Not everyone thinks that way.
@@AJPickett what's the point of knowing something if it never gets used? To know something and not share, it is the same as no one knowing at all for it dies with you. Once kept, sealed, and dead it can neither heal nor harm. Knowledge thrives when it is shared for that is how wisdom is born and men grow.
Frog Dragon? Daisy Dragon? Boo Boo Dragon? Guys, you are totally cheapening the great concept that is the dragon in the human psyche, imagination and mythology, just saying.
Urgh, Mist Dragons. Never enjoyed them. They're (to me anyway) a bunch of wise gurus on top of pillars, with a broom smacking little pesky kids of their lawn.
