True Dragons

The true dragons were all created as lieutenants in the great war. Bahamut created the metallic dragons to protect the good creatures of the world, while Tiamaat created the chromatic to ensure that evil remained. Amaan created the other dragonkind to protect those that, like him, had no interest in the war.
Each dragon was created in what the Gods thought was the perfect form. The metallic good dragons were given the forms of the precious metals that the world contains, while the chromatic evils were given the colours of their parent. All are made from mostly the same template, but with variations based on their role in the world. They are all, as such, in the same genus.
