Tiamat the Chromatic Dragon is similar in nature to Bahamut: nobody knows for sure whether she is a nature creature, the Queen of Evil Dragons, a demon, or a deity of some kind. She, too, is reputed to have been in existence from the first moment that dragonkind emerged upon Toril.
Tiamat is horrible in appearence: a fat, bloated body supported on stubby - almost uselles - legs. She has five heads, each identical in color and appearance to that of one of the five species of evil dragons - black, blue, green, red and white. She also has a long, serpentine tail tipped with a sting that drips with black venom. Her wings are huge, able to carry her with incredible speed and maneuverability for a creature of her size. On the grond, however, her small legs make her clumsy and slow.
Tiamat is a deadly opponent. Althoug her sheer size prevents claw and kick attacks while on the ground, she can use two claw attacks while flying. These attacks inflict 1d10 points of damage each. She can also use all of other draconic attack modes, such as snatch (flying only), wing buffet, and tail slap. In additional, she can use her tail sting (but not in the same round that she slaps with the tail). The tail is sinuous enougth that she can attack enemies directly in front of her and to the sides, as well as behind. The sting inflicts 1d6 points of damage, and the victim must roll a successful saving throw vs poison - with a -3 penalty - or die agonizingly in one round.
The Chromatic Dragon’s five heads can operate entirely independently of each other. During any round, each can perform any one of the following actions:
Bite: Each head inflicts damage as though it were a great wyrm of the appropriate color.
Breath Weapon: Each head has a breath weapon equivalent to that of the great wyrm of the appropriate color.
Spell: Each head can cast any two wizard spells per day. The spell levels available vary from head to head, as shown on the following chart:
Color Spell Level
White 1°
Black 1°-2°
Green 1°-3°
Blue 1°-4°
Red 1°-5°
Each head can withstand 16 points of damage before it “dies” and becomes useless. These hit points do not count against Tiamat’s total; only hits against her body do so. If all of Tiamat’s heads are killed, or if she is reduced to 0 hit points, she immediately plane shifts to her lair on one of planes of Hell (or, if she is defeated while in Hell, she is destroyed). Her heads and body regenerate fully in 24 hours.
Tiamat is able to travel astrally or etereally at will.
The Chromatic Dragon’s purposes are unknow. She has been known to visit Toril, but such visits are - thankfully - very rare. She has na insatiable greed for treasures, but prefers that creatures bring it to her in the form of gifts.
