{{for|the same monster or other monsters with this name that appear in variants|Chromatic Dragon (disambiguation)}}

A '''chromatic dragon''', {{monsym|chromatic_dragon}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in the data of [[EvilHack]]. The chromatic dragon is a placeholder monster used for the [[Chromatic dragon scales (EvilHack)|dragon scales]] dropped by [[Tiamat (EvilHack)|Tiamat]]. Chromatic dragons are [[thick-skinned]] [[carnivorous]] [[dragon]]s that can [[see invisible]], and will seek out [[gold]], [[gem]]s and [[magical item]]s to pick up.

A chromatic dragon has two [[breath weapon]] attacks that are each randomized from the following breath types: [[magic missile]], [[fire]], [[frost]], [[sleeping gas]], [[disintegration]], [[lightning]], [[poison cloud]]s, [[acid]], high-pressure water blasts, or dark energy blasts that [[drain life]]. Chromatic dragons also have a strong bite attack, two claw attacks and an [[engulfing]] attack that [[digest]]s its victims. Chromatic dragons possess the resistances of all dragons: [[fire resistance]], [[shock resistance]], [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[disintegration resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[acid resistance]], [[drain resistance]], and [[magic resistance]].

A chromatic dragon [[corpse]] is [[poisonous]] to [[eat]], and eating a chromatic dragon corpse or tin increases the strength of several [[partial intrinsic]] properties.

==Generation==
Chromatic dragons are not generated, though they are flagged to always be hostile, and are not a valid form for polymorph.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Stand! I and thou, let us join battle!
When Tiamat heard these words,
She was like one posessed, she lost her reason.
Tiamat uttered wild, piercing cries,
She trembled and shook to her very foundations.
She recited an incantation, she pronounced her spell,
And the gods of the battle cried out for their weapons.
Then advanced Tiamat and Marduk, the counselor of the gods;
To the fight they came on, to the battle they drew nigh.
