* RealWorldEpisode: Issue #100's "The City Beyond The Gate", which sees the party traveling to PresentDay (circa 1985) London, England, Earth, to recover a powerful artifact, the Mace of St. Cuthbert, that has somehow ended up on exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Issue #57 also had an article, 'Modern Monsters: The Perils of 20th-Century Adventuring', giving details on how to homebrew your own examples.

* OurUnicornsAreDifferent: Issues #190 discusses a number of unicorn variants, namely the alicorn (gnarly-horned unicorns that can cast CharmPerson), the pyrocorn (NeutralEvil bay-colored unicorns who can cast [[KillItWithFire a number of fire spells]]), the black unicorn (capable of [[CastingAShadow magically manipulating darkness]]), the roanicorn (desert-dwelling brown unicorns with telepathy and ESP), the cunnequine (LawfulGood counterparts to the traditional Chaotic unicorn), the faerie unicorn (small, green-tinted chameleonic unicorns), the graycorn (TrueNeutral gray colored unicorns that reflect damage back at their attackers), the criocorn (palomino-colored LawfulEvil unicorns with [[AnIcePerson ice-related magic]]), the chromacorn (pinto-colored NeutralGood unicorns that can cast illusions and Prismatic Sprays), the narwhal or sea unicorn, the unisus (a WingedUnicorn born from crossbreeding a unicorn and a {{pegasus}}), and the zebracorn (zebra-striped unicorns with VoluntaryShapeshifting powers).

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Issue #200 had a debate on who was D&D's greatest wizard: [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Elminster]] (argued for by Creator/EdGreenwood) or [[Literature/{{Dragonlance}} Raistlin]] (argued for by Creator/TracyHickman). At the end of the article, it's revealed that [[LetsYouAndHimFight the battle was being set up by]] [[TakeAThirdOption Mordenkainen]].

* UnicornsPreferVirgins: Issue #190 describes a number of unicorn variants, several with their own spins on this theme: alicorns and cunnequines have the same requirements as common sylvan unicorns, the Neutral Evil pyrocorns accept evil female riders with affinities for fire magic, the Chaotic Evil black unicorns accept evil fighters or thieves of either sex, fairy unicorns accept any halfling, gnome, elf or fairy of good heart, gray unicorns accept only female druids of strictly neutral alignment, the Lawful Evil criocorns bear only exceptionally evil women with a talent for icy magic or who worship an evil god of cold or winter, pinto unicorns accept any rider of pure heart, narwhals bear only sea elven women of pure heart, and unisi may be ridden by any humanoid maiden with a good heart.
* WingedUnicorn: Unisi (singular unisus), described in Isse #190, are winged and horned equines created from the crossbreeding of unicorns and pegasi. They have the same habitat preferences and societies as pegasi, but share the unicorns' horn attack and preference for female riders of pure heart. Their horns can be used to brew potions that allow their drinkers to fly. Alicorns are also described, but are wingless unicorns with gnarled horns and the ability to run in the air.

* ElementalFusion: Issue #65 uses this concept to fill out the "color wheel" of chromatic dragons. In addition to the white, black, green, blue and red chromatic dragons, some scholars believe in the existence of yellow, orange and purple dragons. The various colored types are thought to have produced new breeds via color theory: yellow and blue dragons might have bred to create the green subspecies, orange dragons could be the result of red and yellow dragons mating, and purple dragons might descend from red and blue dragons. The conjectured crossbreeds' {{Breath Weapon}}s are consequently derived by combining or "decomibining" those of the extant kinds:
** The green dragon's cone of poisonous gas is thought to be the result of the blue dragon's [[ShockAndAwe electricity breath]] separating chlorine gas from the yellow dragon's salt (sodium chloride) attack.
** The orange dragon breathes the remaining elemental component of salt in the form of a stream of liquid sodium, whose whose violent ignition on contact with oxygen most closely parallels its red ancestors' fire-based breath.
** The purple dragon's PureEnergy breath attack, often likened to plasma, is a combination of a blue dragon's line of electricity and a red dragon's cone of fire.

* TrueBreedingHybrid: Issue #65 discusses the "lost" or "forgotten" chromatic dragons. While everyone knows about the white, black, green, blue and red chromatic dragons, some scholars believe in the existence of yellow, orange and purple dragons, which are thought to be related to the more famous breeds via color theory: yellow and blue dragons might have bred to create the green subspecies, orange dragons could be the result of red and yellow dragons mating, and purple dragons might descend from red and blue dragons. Their breath weapons are also imagined as [[ElementalFusion midpoints between their parents' own elemental breaths]].

''Dragon'' was the official ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' magazine. Published from from 1976 to 2002 by Creator/{{TSR}} / Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast, the magazine was outsourced to Paizo Publishing (a company founded by [=WotC=] alums, now known for publishing ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'') through September 2007 (issue 359). At this point Wizards took the license back from Paizo, and restarted it as an online-only version, in which format it was published until 2013, whereupon it went on indefinite hiatus. In all incarnations, ''Dragon'' has been "100% official content", and much material that was first published in it has found its way into ''D&D'' gaming supplements; in this way, it has served as a proving ground for aspiring game designers. Three other publications were merged with it at various times--''Little Wars'' (TSR's wargaming publication), ''Ares'' (for science fiction games that TSR acquired from SPI), and ''Living TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}} Journal'' (for [=WotC=]'s organized play events).
