The Elder Chroma Dragon is an incredibly old dragon that lives in its own demiplane. A place of soaring volcanoes and glaciers, as well as toxic swamps and dark forests. It stays in slumber unless something awakes it, causing it to go on a rampage spoken of only in legends. It is a highly intelligent creature, able to draw on abilities from all chromatic dragons. Whenever it takes or deals damage based on a chromatic dragon's element, its scales change to that color, though usually a dark variation of the color.
