Frequently Asked Questions

What language do dragons speak in D&D?

Dragons speak Draconic, one of the oldest languages in D&D. Draconic names for dragons use harsh, consonant-heavy syllables (Th, Kr, Vr, Xx) combined with deep vowels. Even non-native speakers feel the weight of a dragon's true name.

Do dragons have multiple names?

In many fantasy traditions, dragons have a true name (known only to themselves and powerful beings), a common name (used by mortals), and sometimes a title or epithet earned through deeds. A dragon called 'Pyraxis the Worldburner' has all three.

Can I name a dragon after real mythology?

Absolutely — many iconic fantasy dragons reference real mythology. Fafnir (Norse), Tiamat (Babylonian), Vritra (Hindu), and Ladon (Greek) are all mythological dragons/serpents. These names carry inherent gravitas and cultural resonance.
