BE'l*l'ER GRE� s
I personally found the greatwyrms in Fizban's to be...
disappointing. They committed the horrible crime of using
the same stat block to represent all greatwyrms of the same
type, and then they made that stat block a boring slugfest,
too!
So, I set out to create interesting and unique stat blocks for
the five chromatic greatwyrms, plus an extra one for Tiamat.
Starting from scratch, I built each of these stat blocks to be
truly fearsome opponents that are interesting to run even
without Spellcasting.
For further customization options for your dragons, see

TARGETING OBJECTS
When a feature here says that it targets an object,
it really means an object that isn't being worn or
carried. I just couldn't be bothered to write that
every single time.
CHROMATIC GREATWYRMS
By absorbing the energies of a powerful primordial object or
creature, chromatic dragons can ascend into greatwyrms.
Chromatic greatwyrms wield unfathomable elemental magic
that places them just short of a deity's aspect in destructive
might.
As it comes with immortality and almost completely
unrivaled power, greatwyrm status is vied for by all chromatic
dragons with the means to achieve it. An adult or ancient
dragon might spend an entire campaign gathering the
artifacts and creatures needed to complete the ascension
ritual
UnusualNature. The greatwyrm doesn't require food,
drink, or air.

TIAMAT
The evil queen of dragons is a fearsome god of greed, envy,
and hoarded wealth. While chromatic dragons are her
foremost worshipers, Tiamat accepts the worship of any who
crave wealth. All chromatic dragons have a fearful reverence
for their tyrannical queen, but many dragons of near-deific
power and ambition chafe under her rule.
Tiamat remains imprisoned in Avernus, the frrst of the
Nine Hells, influencing the souls of chromatic dragons across
the planes and seeking the means to free herself
The stat block presented represents Tiamat in her full
form. To represent her aspect, remove one of her mythic
traits.
Only by meeting specific conditions can the characters
hope to bypass her Discorporation trait and truly kill Tiamat.
The following are sample quests.
Appeal toAvarice. An ancient treasure was lost in the
Astral Sea while being transported in a githyaoki ship. If the
PCs can locate this cache of immaculate gems and rare
metals, they can use Tiamat's greed to draw her out of her
domain. They must trick her into entering a domain under
the control of Bahamut, where she can be slain, or at least
her discorporated essence can be trapped
Draconic Weapons. The PCs must kill five greatwyrms,
each of a different chromatic variety, then craft magic items
from their bones or scales. Only if they are wearing or using
these items can they destroy Tiamat. At least one of the
greatwyrms killed for this purpose must be a past or present
consort of Tiamat.
Gather Tiam,at's Eggs. One hoary old tome printed on
basalt pages and bound in purple dragon scales describes a
ritual called Fashioning Tiamat's True Death. This ritual's
intricate recipe includes procuring at least one of Tiamat's
eggs, in which a newly forged weapon must be quenched
Multiple weapons require multiple eggs. If the weapon is
used against Tiamat and draws blood at least once, the god's
essence is destroyed, not discorporated
