Neptune Oathsworn of Pyra
Oceanus dragons are the Upper Plane reflection of styx dragons, just as the River Oceanus is the reflection of the River Styx. The River Oceanus connects many of the Upper Planes, and the oceanus dragons patrol its depths, helping along those with good intentions or destroying those with evil hearts.
An oceanus dragon looks like a winged serpent, with short limbs and webbed fingers. Its scales are often lighter shades of brass, yellow, or gold, or sometimes darker brown. Its body is peculiarly devoid of horns or spikes except for a spined dorsal ridge down its back.
An Oceanus Dragon's Lair
Oceanus dragons most often live in hidden caves located on the riverbank of the Oceanus or underneath its rolling waters, on any of the Upper Planes through which the river passes.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary oceanus dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects.
* Evil creatures within 6 miles of the lair have the constant feeling they are being watched.
* Good creatures within 6 miles of the lair have a constant feeling of peace and content.
* Water within 1 mile of the lair sparkles more than usual underneath light, and has a slightly golden hue.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
Preferred Spells
Oceanus dragons tend to prefer the following spells: control water, control winds, daylight, detect evil and good, divine word, holy aura, maelstrom, power word heal, wall of light, water breathing, or water walk.
Planar Dragons
It is not known exactly now many species of dragon roam the multiverse; just when sages think they have discovered the last one, some new variety emerges from the depths of another plane. Almost every plane has at least one true dragon species native to it, though the origins of these dragons have been (and still are) under heavy debate. Many sages argue that they are descended from one of the ten original true dragon types in the Material Plane, and that the nature of the new plane transformed them over eons. For some planar dragons, this lineage is obvious (pact dragons, for example). For others, evidence can be provided, but it cannot be known for sure. Mirage dragons are suspected to be descendants of primordial green dragons, but even they do not know whether it is truth or farce. Others were likely created by other dragon gods, or, in the case of deathmask dragons, created as some sort of mockery or imitation (which isn't unusual for horrific creations of the Abyss).
Regardless of their origins, all planar dragons covet wealth (just like any other dragon), acquiring massive hoards over the span of many years. Likewise, they each have an enormous ego, occasionally exacerbated by the plane they hail from or by the power that they derive from it.
The goals and ideals of planar dragons vary even more than those of the chromatics and metallics for many reasons, foremost of which is the lack of a distict connection to a particular deity. Very few honor any god like their metallic or chromatic cousins do (Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). The nature of each plane also has a way of shaping each planar dragon's way of thinking, and in some cases their goals and ideals.
In general, planar dragons very rarely come to the Material Plane, by far preferring their home plane. As a result, few creatures know they exist, and even if they do, they likely don't care. The chances of encountering one are next to zero (barring outstanding circumstances), unless one takes to extraplanar travel.
