The very personification of unpredictability, a chaos dragon is a whirling cyclone of barely controlled power.
No two chaos dragons look exactly alike, and some people claim that even the same chaos dragon changes its form over time. While all chaos dragons are roughly the same in appearance--four powerful clawed limbs, mighty wings, long serpentine neck topped by a mouth full of dagger-sharp teeth, jagged-edged tail--each has unique markings and scale patterns that differentiate it from others of its kind.
In general, chaos dragons seek to tear down structured societies and civilizations. Those that tend toward good might use positive means to effect change, but those tending to evil are merely violent and murderous.
For a brief period of time, a sect of githzerai attempted to make a pact with the chaos dragons, thinking they could use them just as their enemies, the githyanki, employed red dragons. The chaos dragons' innate unpredictability and disloyalty ensured the failure of this effort, though the two kinds of creatures may still be encountered side by side in rare instances.
A chaos dragon speaks Draconic and either Celestial (chaotic good and some chaotic neutral dragons only) or Abyssal (chaotic evil and some chaotic neutral dragons only).
Combat
A chaos dragon opens combat with its confusion breath weapon, seeking to send its opponents into disarray. It uses its spell-like abilities against particularly vexing foes.
Young and older chaos dragons' natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Breath Weapon (Su): A chaos dragon has two types of breath weapons, a line of energy and a cone of confusion gas. The energy type of its breath weapon is determined randomly each time it uses the breath weapon by rolling d%: 01-20 acid, 21-40 cold, 41-60 electricity, 61-80 fire, 81-100 sonic. Even the dragon itself doesn't know which type of energy it will emit before it actually breathes. Creatures within the cone of confusion gas must succeed on a Will save or be confused for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per age category of the dragon.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day--entropic shield, protection from law, chaos hammer; 1/day--cloak of chaos, dispel law, mind fog, mislead, word of chaos.
