The most common tome that they search for is known as The Draconomicon however, this is not The Draconomicon this is The Dracodex!  \nThey have many similiarities from its information to its contents but, the Dracodex serves to serve Players and Dungeon Masters alike for ways to incorporate dragons and draconic elements into their games.  \nI have been writing homebrew for the past few years, originally it was mainly just for use at my table but I realized that other people could benefit from my work and we could all play our best game. So I wrote homebrew and genuinely enjoyed it and then I slowly started to realize that older editions of D&D had a melancholy of dragons missing in modern day which I wanted for my games, thus began my trek into the deepest recesses of D&D history. I had been making statblocks for dragons for well over the past year and with Fizban 's Treasury of Dragons on the horizon I wanted to make a concrete compiled supplement before Fizban can. This is my magnum opis and compilation of my work over the past year for all to enjoy!  \nSo why is the book called The Dracodex? Well The Draconomicon's naming convention definetely had something to do with this but, this is not The Draconomicon and I wanted to distinguish that this is my own creation, perhaps borrowing elements from the books of those names but, also interjecting some of my own. So when I combed my brain for synonyms for books and saw what had existed already for D&D I had some to the realization there is no Codex. So 'Draco', being a common term to \"draconify\"something and the 'co' overlapping I had a catchy name.  \nFinally, I have only ever played D&D 5e and do not own a single sourcebook from before fifth edition. All I have to go on are articles and determination thus, my depictions of these monsters may not be exactly reflective of their counterpartsin older editions; nonetheless, if it is not one of the few original creations in this book, I did strive to make them as comparable and a straight port of their counterparts.  \nArt  \nDM's Guild Creator Resource-Allies and Enemies Art by DM's Guild by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Allies and Enemies Art 2 by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Creatures Art 4 by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator ResourceCreatures Art 5 by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Dragons Art by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Dragons 2 Art by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Eberron Heroes and Villains Art Pack by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Humanoid Art by Dungeon Master's Guild, DM's Guild Creator Resource-Monstrosity Art by Dungeon Master's Guild  \n_ Author  \nLenmis  \n_ Based on the original game created by  \nE.
