===Gray Dragon (Nentir Vale)===
Uniquely amongst the chromatic dragons, this version of the gray dragons is only found in the [[Nentir Vale]] setting, having been invented for [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] and appearing in the Chromatic [[Draconomicon]]. They are, however, based on an older dragon; the [[Fang Dragon]]. They don't even try to hide this fact; their literal in-game lore is that [[Tiamat]] created Fang Dragons, found them to be disappointments, and so tried to improve the breed. She took a clutch of Fang Dragon eggs, infused them with [[medusa]] blood, then had a [[basilisk]] brood them in a nest made of [[cockatrice]] feathers for a year. When they hatched, they had gained the ability to both petrify creatures with their touch and to spew a caustic slime that quickly dried into a stone-hard substance. Impressed with the results, she set them to hunting down their former relatives, and thus there are few if any Fang Dragons left to be found in the Nentir Vale world.

Personality-wise, gray dragons - also known as Stone or Spike Dragons, and sometimes referred to as Fang Dragons by those who confuse them with their ancestors - can be best summarized as "White Dragon 2.0". They're not ''stupid'', but they are rapacious, venal, brutish, fickle, voracious predators absolutely ''obsessed'' with hunting. A gray dragon not only thinks it's the biggest, meanest predator around, it wants to ''prove it'', so their diet is largely made up of humanoids and monsters, because these pose an actual challenge to bring down and eat.

Gray Dragons inhabit rocky badlands and border-regions, where they typically have both a central "lair", where they keep their hoards, and multiple "outposts", which they migrate between as they scour their territory for prey.
