    Hope they add Gem dragons to this enriched, fattened Monster Manual. Maybe extra 5 true dragon groups of each family too ( Chromatic, Gem, Metallic, misc ) Bloat excuse is pathetic. As long as each dragon is unique and behave distinctly, have good origin story and neat quirks. Its dungeons and DRAGONS darnit. So my dragon obsessed wishlist?? Including from all editions and newest Fizban Treasury of Dragons:
    True dragons means a Dragon have pair of wings and 4 legs. Wyvern have 2 less legs and drakes are basically wingless dragons, wyrms are snake like dragons.
    Chromatic:
    1st group of 5 true main: Red, Blue, Green, Black, White
    2nd group of 5 true main: Purple, Orange, Grey, Yellow, Brown
    Purple ( two kinds. The Middle Underdark ones from 3e/ 4 e and Lloyds presumabye Upper Underdark purple that burrow into the surface at night to hunt prey on open fields and small towns etc. Could be renamed Umber/ Violet etc. All 3 have energy to plasmatic breath and share intrigue, knowledge hoarders )
    Orange ( live in jungles, in feuds with Greens and Blacks due to territory overlap sometimes. Spew sodium choloride that combust prey in flames in air. In water it explodes them )
    Grey ( mercenary like dragons, purely physical attacks, ditch acid bite )
    Yellow ( the first Lloyd iteration, WINGED ( or else NOT a dragon! ) and NOT sand dwelling like in later 2e edition/ those should be retconned as beige dragons, spew sodium concentrated water to blind prey, are the smallest, fastest though not neccesarily the weakest )
    Brown ( sand, desert dragons. Have modified wings to better " swim " thorugh sand and have head to crush, burrow through hard rock, fewds with Blue dragons fro territory )
    Gemstone:
    1st group of 5 true main: Amethyst ( royal, sharp purple) , Sapphire ( deep blue ), Emerald ( fresh green ), Topaz ( orange with yellow tint ), Crystal ( clear, shiny white to dirty brown )
    2nd group of 5 true main: Diamond (my idea not official ), Obsidian ( cast out by the above 5 Gem dragon Thanes of Sardior ) , Ruby ( direct offspring of Sardior ), Citrine ( shiny yellow ), Opal ( many coloroed, if not prismatic, contain every colors set in different patterns )
    Metallic:
    1st group of 5 true main: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, Brass ( Brass should be retconned to spew poison, thye say posion is " evil ", then what about acid? Depends on usage I say )
    2nd group of 5 true main: Orium, Mithral, Adamantine, Tin, Zinc. Last two my ideas becasue to get bronze and brass by mixing Copper + tin/ zinc ) Dosent have to be interbreeding, just stating cohesivness and that Bahamut, like Tiamat can just spawn those kind of dragons even though in real life sense those colors and metals would be products of mixing,
    Examples of Miscellanious/ cousin dragons, not aligned/ neutral. NOT including Ferrous, elemental dragons, cataclysmic ones etc
    Chromatic: Deep dragon ( cousin, NOT purple! live in Lower Underdark )
    Gemstone: Jade
    Metallic: Steel

    Beholder looks cartoony and not scary at all and as the cover beast, it should be substantially more intimidating like in OG 5e and 3.5. This guy is NOT the stuff of nightmares, more like fairy tales.

    I'd love to have some consistency on the quality of the monsters art in the new MM. Old MM had a lot of inconsistency of art style (mainly because it was comissioned to different artists) but some of the time the art looked subpar or just very plain looking and uninspiring. The dragons looked good tho.
