Disco Dragon
by Bill Twombly & Pat Coppock
Please note that stats are in AD&D 2nd Edition.
As you are traveling along you see a bright light in the sky coming towards you, it seems to move slowly and casually. As it nears you start to become blinded by the brightness of the light twinkling off of the somewhat smallish dragon coming towards you. He lands and you must avert your eyes to avoid blindness, as he transforms into human-like form you notice the brightness fades, but not completely, his eyes seem to be silver-faceted and they shine brightly in the sunlight. As you look upon this strange creature you notice he is "dressed" quite uniquely. He has on a pristine white "suit" with baggy pants, wide lapels and a black shirt open down the front. He has many gold chains around his neck and large poofy hair styled straight back (envision John Travolta). He talks with a strange "accent", as if he is drunk. He offers you a strange meal comprised mostly of mushrooms. All of a sudden you hear wierd music starting to eminate from the "man" and he starts dancing around (insert "Staying Alive" theme here). Make a saving throw vs. Spell or dance around and eat "shrooms" w/the dragon. After 10 rounds the "free love" starts and everyone has a great time. Then as quickly as it started, it ends and the dragon is gone to spread happiness elsewhere.
You have just encountered the Disco Dragon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Active time: Any

Intelligence: Surprisingly smart

Alignment: Totally neutral dude
No. Appearing: Just one fine thang
Armor Class: -6 (base)
Movement: He's got all the right moves cat
Hit Dice: 14 (base)
THACO: 7 (base)
No. Of Attacks: 2 + special
Damage/Attack: Human form (1d2 bitch slap), Dragon form (see below)
Special Attacks: Disco fever baby
Special Defense: Euphoria
Magic Resistance: 50% (base)
Size: Wouldn't you like to know
Morale: I'm not leaving this joint till the party's over
Description: The disco dragon is a strange and spectacular sight to behold, in dragon form the belly is a metallic red, it's back and wings are a god-awful olive green, cornflower blue, and chartreuse yellow in a plaid configuration. Its eyes are the strangest of all being to rotating disco balls (all must save vs/paralyzation or be lulled into constant senseless rambling). In human form, it appears as John Travolta at the height of his disco days, this includes the silver shirt, excessively tight bell-bottom god-awful plaid pants, and ridiculously bright shiny red shoes.
Combat: The disco dragon has two attacks in his human form, his first and foremost favorite is the almighty bitch slap (preferably done to rich uppity women), women must save vs/petrification or stand there looking like an idiot for 20 minutes, men take 1d2 points of damage and go instantly into a berserker rage, punching everyone except the dragon in a 10' radius like a drunken hillbilly.
His second attack is the most humiliating and disgusting thing anyone could possible endure, he begins by singing Shadow-Dancing by the Bee Gees (even the instruments are heard), his head starts rocking back and forth, his right arm starts pumping up and down in the opposite direction as the head, hips start gyrating in all different directions, and his feet start-a-groovin. Anyone who sees or hears this fiasco must save vs/spell at -7 or start dancing with him, with the same effects as Ottiluke's Dance.
Breath Weapon: The disco dragon's most painful attack is it's most disgusting of them all, anyone caught within the 50'x50'x50' cloud of the most foul smelling breath must save vs/breath weapon or have an agonizing case of cotton mouth, you essentially become a living cotton-gin, it comes out so fast that your tongue and the roof of your mouth bleed instantly and very painfully.
Habitat/Society: The disco dragon is almost always found in cities with massive over-population problems or in cities where there are a lot of drugs.
Ecology: The disco dragon's favorite food is shrooms, but it will eat opium, marijuana, and any number of mind altering natural drugs.
Experience: 1,000 to 10,000 (GM's choice)

I know Tiamat appears in mythology(Sumerian or Babylonian?). I'm not sure of Bahamut's source, though. |

Lina is correct that they are indeed that they are used extensively in the Final Fantasies, although I would not be able to say which came first |

Tiamat and Bahamut are generic D&D dragon deities that are available to all worlds.

Tiamat, the Chromatic Dragon, rules the first hell. Lawful evil, she is both mother and goddess to all evil dragons and some other evil creatures.

Tiamat and Bahamat ehh... they're from Final Fantasy 7 or 8 (I forget which one). Isn't it a bit hard to cram those two under your bed, I mean coffin. Not much room for monsters >20ft tall. |

Another crisis averted. Reminds me of the time there was a guild war of '32. Yep, it was the REAL cause of the loss of Sessrendale. Seems the Dusk Lord liked his name so much that he wouldn't tell a soul his real name... P.O. the leader of Archendale somethin' fierce..
Coulda been averted....  
Transvestite Trolls.... Cult... your beginning to creep me out...   |

Some trolls just don't feel at home in normal troll society. These trolls are more intelligent then most trolls and feel that there must be more to life then waiting for adventurers to turn up loaded with greek fire, torches and Melfs Acid Arrows. These exceptional individuals leave their trollhole and go out into the world trying to find some meaning to life. As a way of marking themselves as different from regular trolls, transvestite trolls have taken to wearing bright, floral mu-mu's. Note that a transvestite troll can be either male or female (how do you tell the difference?), it's the dress that matters, not the gender. Most transvestite trolls can speak common as well as trollspeak.
COMBAT: Transvestite trolls are pacifists. Extreme, pointless violence is a notable feature of the traditional troll society which the transvestite trolls are rebelling against. However, hostile adventurers first encountering a transvestite troll will be subject to its shock attack. This attack is a result of seeing a troll wearing a bright yellow and orange floral dress. The transvestite troll gains automatic surprise and each character must make a save vs paralyzation or be struck dumb and unable to move or speak for 1d4+4 rounds. The troll will try and use this time to escape. If forced into combat, the troll will fight like a regular troll, but will try to subdue the characters rather then kill them. Most transvestite trolls carry a broardsword which they prefer to use instead of their fists (bare handed attacks are very troll-like).
HABITAT/SOCIETY: Most transvestite trolls are solitary by necessity rather then nature. When they encounter others of their kind, they tend to band together and form "troll-rights" groups. These groups never seem to achieve much, something about it being hard for people to listen to a troll wearing a dress. Still it is rumoured that one such group of about 12 members is planning to hold a troll-rights march in Waterdeep. Should prove to be interesting. |
