Other chromatic dragons[edit]
This is a list of other dragons which are based on colors, but are not truly related to other chromatic dragons. In 4th edition, the gray, brown, and purple dragons were released in Draconomicon, but they were different. Instead of being based on the dragons listed here, they were based on the fang, sand, and deep dragons of 3rd edition.

Brown dragon[edit]
Breath weapon: a blast of supernaturally hot and stinging sand that corrodes flesh and blocks all visibility.
Terrain: Desert
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Image: Wizards.com image
Notes: Described in Monsters of Faerûn
Ferocious, though intelligent beasts from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting which reside in the wastes of Eastern Mulhorand. They view humans as food and think it peculiar to talk with one's meal, but they talk to almost anything else. They have a membranous frill that connects each row of spines down the length of the dragon's body allowing undulating flight through the air.They also love digging in the sand.
Orange dragon[edit]
Breath weapon: Molten rock
Terrain: Forest
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Notes: Described in the Dragon Compendium Vol. 1; appears in the module "Under the Storm Giant's Castle"
Crafty predators who attack from ambush. They prefer to lurk in deep rivers and lakes. They are highly territorial and natural tyrants who seek to bring creatures in their area under their control. They bear a passing resemblance to a monstrous, orange alligator.
Purple dragon[edit]
Breath weapon: A purple dragon's breath weapon can take on three different forms. It can manifest as a cone of searing energy, a burst of blinding power, or a deadly blade of pure energy.
Terrain: Temperate Plains
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Notes: Described in the Dragon Compendium Vol. 1
Long, lean bodied dragons with deep purple to midnight black scales. These fancy themselves to be the lords of all dragonkind, believing themselves arisen from the long dead sister of Tiamat. They are among the most intelligent of dragons, able to gather and control vast numbers of minions. Their energy-related attacks make them powerful fighters.
Yellow dragon[edit]
Breath weapon: Salt water
Terrain: Aquatic and coastal areas
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Notes: Described in the Dragon Compendium Vol. 1
Solitary and secretive dragons who prefer to lay in wait for prey to stumble into carefully prepared traps instead of hunting actively. They are among the most agile and quick of all dragons.
To clarify their breath weapon, it's a watery blast that contains a highly corrosive sodium compound. They adore water and often spend their free time playing in it.

Grey dragon[edit]
Breath weapon: A caustic ooze that burns flesh and also immobilizes victims.
Terrain: Badlands, scrublands, dry prairies, and other flatland terrain.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Notes: Grey dragons are the most rapacious, venal, and brutish of all the chromatics. Elder and ancient gray dragons have a special affinity with stone. They can exude a stony essence that petrifies foes that have been immobilized by their claw or breath weapon attack. An ancient gray dragon's spikes have an elemental resonance that petrifies not only the dragon's primary targets but also nearby creatures.

Thank you. I found it on the feat list.

I have a scroll for "Dragon breath, slow"

Anybody know how that came into existence?

I'm assuming it is one of the abilities of dragon mobs, not any class.
