Legacy canon content This article contains information of uncertain canon status due to changes made in the Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project. Chromatic and metallic dragons will no longer be used in canon works as of the Remaster, and direct replacements or retroactive changes for related subjects sometimes exist but might not always exist. Additional context might be available at Meta:Chromatic dragon.

Chromatic dragons are true dragons, usually of evil alignment, as opposed to the good-aligned metallic dragons. Most chromatic dragons simply seek to quench their endless lust for treasure, food, and bloodshed. The scales of these dragons all match the color given in their name.

Dahak is the god of evil dragons.
