Transcript
Apart from the majority of the typical Advanced Dungeons & Dragons races you will find on Krynn, and even those that are specific to it, a player will inevitably run into other, more exotic species. Looking back through the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dragonlance modules, it’s fair to say that Krynn is ripe with a diverse array of creatures. During the Age of Starbirth, the gods of Krynn populated it with Humans, Elves, Ogres and Dragons. But also all of the wildlife and vegetation. Once the Graystone was unleashed, even more species began to pop up. Let’s examine some of the offshoots from the Graystone in addition to the more exotic creatures specific to Krynn. As a blanket statement, I will be going into more depth about some of these creatures in future episodes. This is meant to be a general overview of some of the more interesting creatures.
The dragons of evil include the following: Black Dragons who are native to swamps or marshes, but are also found in subterranean lairs. Their breath weapon is acid. They are fiercely independent and thus are traditionally used as guards. Blue Dragons typically dwell in caves and are found in desert and arid climates. Their breath weapon is lightning. They are more gregarious than their cousins and act well in units. Green Dragons are often found in forested areas. Their breath weapon is a cloud of venomous chlorine gas. They excel at trickery and magic, used primarily for sinister purposes. Red Dragons dwell wherever they like. Their breath weapon is flame. They are not inclined to follow orders but obey Takhisis whenever called upon. White Dragons have adapted to colder climates and prefer them. Their breath weapon is a cone of frost. They are smaller than their cousins and are often used as scouts.
The good dragons consist of Brass Dragons who inhabit sandy and arid regions. Their breath weapons are sleep and fear gasses. They are affable and enjoy long conversations. Bronze Dragons live near large bodies of water. Their breath weapons are a bolt of lightning and a repulsion gas. They are incredibly interested in mankind and enjoy observing them. Copper Dragons live in rocky and mountainous areas. Their breath weapons are acid and slow gas. And they are self centered and incredibly fond of wealth. Gold Dragons can live in any climate, but prefer lairs of stone. Their breath weapons are fire and chlorine gas. They believe they are the most majestic of dragons. Lastly, Silver Dragons enjoy being around other races of Krynn and at times prefer to take their forms. Their breath weapons are cones of paralyzing gas and frost. They enjoy helping both elves and humans.
From good dragon eggs were created the Draconians. I have briefly described them in the Races of Krynn episode, so I will not repeat myself here. I will be creating a video specifically about Draconians in the future.
From the Ogres we have the irda, Minotaurs, Giants and Goblins, and after the Greystone we see the Thanoi, Trolls, Kobolds, hobgoblins and Bugbears. Of course the first creature you run across is Fewmaster Toede, a hobgoblin in DL1 Dragons of Despair. Since hobgoblins are a common Advanced Dungeons & Dragons species, and I covered Minotaurs, Orges and the Irda in the Races of Krynn episode, let's focus on the Thanoi or walrus Men. They are a bizarre blend of human and walrus. They are a vicious race, often killing for the sheer joy of it. They are also not above eating any meat they come across, alive or dead. They have tough leathery skin covering a thick layer of fat. They are immune to all forms of cold and attack with their tusks in addition to weaponry... - บันเทิง

Thank you for watching! Do you have a favorite creature from Krynn? What creatures would you prefer to see focused on? Leave a comment below.
I have never, known anyone, go this crazy over DRAGONLANCE!!!
I see it as an opportunity for me to learn about and share Dragonlance. Thank you for watching!
I'm glad he does , there's not any channels I know of that are krynn specific and more than a dozen on FR
Very useful for my current campaign, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Looking forward to the video about draconians, the noble draconians are some of my favorites.
I will get there.
I enjoy Dragonlance for being the one RPG setting where divinity isn't treated as something to be "gotten rid of" or "outgrown."
Yea, for me it connects with our ancestors. Where in ancient cultures, the gods were real and had real impact on their lives.
Thanks for the Griffons! :)
My pleasure!
Need a long indepth video on all the races.
I have a lot of specific race videos on the channel.
I wish they used the Tay-Folk...the Tayling and Tayland twin races was an interesting group found in the Dragonlance Monsterous Compendium. Twin creatures one look like a Half-Elf and a Spellcaster and its Twin a Humanoid looking fighter type... one dies the other gets suicidal berserking.
I’ll look into those. I’ll return with a more creatures of Krynn episode in the future.
Green dragons are my favorite ,if I have a character powerful enough I will try to subdue it .one thing that often confuses me do the elves go to corellion or some other god in arvandor upon death or a specific krynnish gods realm? Dragonlance books are pretty vague in their description of the afterlife and don't really tie in to sigil and the outer planes like forgotten realms does .it was my impression all d&d worlds are linked to the outer planes
It is never mentioned that I know of, so I think it's up to the DM. There has been a lot of back and forth about Dragonlance connecting with all other worlds or not in D&D 3.5. As it stands, it's up to the fans.
These creatures are much more fun to me as opposed to those similar offshoots established in WoW. I wonder how much creature lore is copyrighted by Wizards of the Coast in case new indie devs would wonder to craft something similar? 🤔
I’m not sure how they could copyright them but DL made eternal stamps on a lot of standard creatures!
It's probably important to note that the dragons of Krynn are moderately different from the forgotten realms dragons. The most noticeable difference in my opinion is the blue dragon. Mostly because the change makes more of a dark warrior/Knight, where in forgotten realms dragons are more like mob bosses.
I am not sure I will ever find the time to compare/contract campaign settings.
This is inaccurate it is just most Faerun dragons are this
I am not sure what you mean by that the forgotten realms implies faerun and and the rest of the planet of torale(?) Just like grey hawk is it's own setting with it's own planet. Further more I wasn't trying to all dragons just the ones that look like the main ones in every setting. The only other thing I can think of that might not be clear is that what I meant is that the dragons of Dragonlance have a much stronger connection to humans probably because of their gods and so interact differently, you don't see very many dragons riders in the forgotten realms do you?
@@mobbofmobs8937 So the boring bits of dragonlance. We gonna talk about the demigod that blinds dragons?
I don't know what you expect from me because it's seems like you are just trying to say, but I am right because I said I am. Explain your reasoning I don't know who told you that phonics are real but they lied to you. So I say again explain what you mean, how am I incorrect? I am not a mind reader so tell me otherwise this is pointless.
Isn't it pronounced as taka-sis... not tuh kee sis
Not by me. There are suggested pronunciations for the gods in the holy Order of the Stars sourcebook.
ESP is Extra Sensory Perception.... i.e. seeing through another's eyes not TELEPATHY.
Yea.... I just parroted the Dragonlance Adventures sourcebook rather than think about it. This is what they printed: Shadowpeople can communicate via a set of squeaks and growls that forms a primitive language, but they arc much more likely to use their advanced ESP abilities to send and receive messages. This ESP accounts for the Shadowpeople's low Armor Class: In combat they are able to anticipate the actions of their enemies and take measures to defend against it.
Looks like it is a mix of telepathy and esp.
@@DLSaga This is true I just wanted to note that.
The shadowpeople are a strange addition to a setting that avoided dark elves
Ugh! _Sil-va-NES-ti_ and _Qua-li-NES-ti_ ("Nesti" meaning "nation" in elvish). You're putting the em-PHASIS on the wrong sy-LABLE again. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were British.
lol, thanks for waTCHing.
