A page covering creatures which are native to specific ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign settings like ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'', ''TabletopGame/{{Dragonlance}}'', and so on. These creatures are unique to specific worlds of the ''D&D'' multiverse and are not likely to come up in campaigns which are not set in those worlds.

Creatures that originated from other media (like ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'') are troped exclusively as they are in their ''D&D'' incarnations. Tropes relating to these creatures in their parent series should go on those pages.

See ''Characters/DungeonsAndDragonsCreatures'' for more general monsters that can be found in any campaign setting, or ''Characters/DungeonsAndDragonsDragons'' for the dragons themselves.

[[folder:Draconians]]
->'''Classification:''' Monstrosity (5E)\\
'''Challenge Rating:''' 1/2 (foot soldier) to 6 (mastermind) (5E)\\
'''Alignment:''' Any (5E)

Humanoid dragons created by the worshippers of Takhisis to bolster the ranks of her dragonarmies. "Base" draconians are created from the eggs of metallic dragons, while "noble" draconians are created from the eggs of chromatic dragons.
----
* ActionBomb: Many types of draconians will explode upon being killed. This explosion can take many forms depending on the type of draconian, including bursts of magical energy, storms of shrapnel, fireballs, and bursts of electricity.
* ArtificialHuman: They are not born naturally and initially had no ability to reproduce on their own. Instead, they are created through a magical ritual that corrupts a dragon’s egg, making it hatch into a clutch of new draconians.
* BreathWeapon: Aurak draconians (and their 5th edition successors, draconian masterminds) can exhale a cloud of poisonous gas.
* ChainLightning: When a draconian mastermind dies, it turns into a ball of lightning which zaps one nearby creature, then sends out forks of lightning from there to zap up to two more creatures.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The draconians have the same colors as the chromatic and metallic dragons, but turn the significance of those colors on its head. The base draconians, which are made from the eggs of the traditionally good metallic dragons, are frequently of evil alignment. Likewise the noble draconians, who come from the eggs of the frequently evil chromatic dragons, are usually of good alignment.
* DraconicHumanoid: They look like human-sized, bipedal versions of D&D’s chromatic and metallic dragons, and are capable of wielding weapons and wearing armor.
* KungFuWizard: Aurak draconians and draconian masterminds eschew weapons in favor of ripping into foes with their bare, clawed hands. They are also the most magically adept of the draconians, able to teleport around, beguile foes, and pelt enemies with energy blasts fired from their hands.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: When a draconian dies, a magical effect kicks in which destroys its remains. The nature of this effect varies by type:
** Baaz draconians [[TakenForGranite turn to stone]] before crumbling into dust.
** Bozak draconians [[ActionBomb explode]].
** Kapak and venom draconians dissolve into a pool of acid which evaporates in less than a minute.
** Sivak draconians dissolve into black soot three days after being killed.
** Aurak draconians burst into flame for several rounds and then explode. Flame draconians likewise explode in a scorching fireball.
** Frost draconians turn to ice and then shatter, pelting everyone around them with icicle shrapnel.
** Vapor draconians dissolve into a cloud of toxic gas.
** Adamaaz draconians (Draconians that are based on 4E Adamantine Dragons) explode with a thunderous shockwave.
** Ferak draconians (Draconians that are based on 4E Iron Dragons) dissolve into a cloud of obscuring rust.
* PoisonedWeapons: Kapak draconians and draconian infiltrators coat their weapons in their own venomous saliva.
* {{Retcon}}: ''Fizban's Treasury of Dragons'' streamlines the draconians. Instead of having one draconian for each of the ten chromatic and metallic dragons, there are now five generic draconian types, each of which can be made from the eggs of either a chromatic, gem, or metallic dragon. For example, a draconian foot soldier--the equivalent of a baaz draconian--can be made from brass, white, or crystal dragon eggs. The old names (Baaz, Kapak, Bozak, etc) still exist, but are treated as Krynn's terminology for the Draconian types made from specific eggs, so on Krynn, a Draconian Foot Soldier made from a Brass Dragon egg would still be called a Baaz Draconian, but one made from a White Dragon egg wouldn't be.
* TakenForGranite: Baaz draconians turn to stone when they die, often trapping the weapons that killed them in their petrified remains. Their 5th edition counterparts, draconian foot soldiers, turn to stone while simultaneously releasing a gas which can temporarily petrify other creatures.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Sivak draconians can transform themselves to look like any person that they have killed.
* WingedHumanoid: Most draconians have wings just like the dragons they resemble, with aurak draconians being the one exception amongst the base dragonian types. Despite these wings, most draconians cannot fly.
* WingsDoNothing: Downplayed. Most of the winged draconians cannot fly, but their wings do allow them to glide--or at the very least, to fall with style.

* ShootTheMageFirst: Feral spirits are intelligent enough to focus on those who pose the greatest threat—spellcasters.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rakshasa]]
While most setting treat rakshasas as an afterthought, the Eberron setting elevates them to great importance. They are ''the'' most important fiends in the setting, having ruled the world for millions of years until their masters, the Overlords, were overthrown by the dragons and couatls. In the present day, they infiltrate mortal civilizations and carry out far-reaching plots to free the Overlords from their imprisonment.

----
* BarrierWarrior: Zakya rakshasas can innately cast the ''shield'' spell once per day in 5th edition.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: Downplayed. Zakya rakshasas have ''some'' innate magical power, but it's nowhere near what a normal rakshasa possesses. They make up for it by being far stronger and far better fighters than the typical rakshasa.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Zakyas are bloodthirsty foot soldiers who seek vengeance against the dragons and those who revere the couatls.

----
* OneGenderRace: All angels take the form of human women.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Ravnican angels embody of the principles of justice and righteousness.
