Tiamat is the goddess of all Chromatic Dragons in the popular Dungeons & Dragons TV Show. She appears as a 5-headed dragon with each colored head (black, blue, green, red and white).
Role in Dungeons & Dragons
In the TV show, Tiamat constantly appears fighting Dungeon Master's disciples or Venger, she is claimed to be the most powerful creature in the realm, for even Venger fears her, however, for some reason she didn't kill him yet. She appears in many places in the TV Show, but she lives in the Dragon Graveyard, protecting the bones of the dragons who go there to die, and some magical artifacts like the ones that Dungeon Master gave to the heroes.
In Neverwinter online
Tiamat in Neverwinter online
Tiamat serves as one of the primary antagonists of the MMORPG, Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter, alongside Valindra Shadowmantle, Severin Silrajin, Malabog, Elemental Evil and Gromph Baenre. She is the hidden but true main antagonist of Tyranny of Dragons arc.
During the attack against Neverwinter City led by the Cult of Dragon, it soon became clear that the Cult's ultimate goal was to summon Tiamat herself from the Nine Hells. Unfortunately, it was also clear that it was too late to prevent this; the only solution, therefore, was to try and push her back before she fully entered Toril. Led by Elminster, the Harpers, Zhentarim, Lords' Alliance, Emerald Enclave, Order of the Gauntlet, and Iliyanbruen banded together and traveled to the Well of Dragons to assault Tiamat's Temple itself, which had already erupted into the world. There they were joined by Linu La'neral, as well as a member of the original Cult of the Dragon who disagreed with Severin's new direction. There they faced opposition from not only the Cult of the Dragon and Thayan forces, but the five chromatic dragon heralds of Tiamat: Glycamerax, Rogrotus, Volzakaris, Kradazuur, and Hohengroth.
After defeating Tiamat's heralds, the alliance ultimately led an attack into the Temple of Tiamat, where Severin Silrajin and Rath Modar were in the midst of summoning Tiamat from the Nine Hells. Though the summoners were slain, they were too late to stop the coming of Tiamat, who began emerging into Faerûn. Fortunately, Linu La'neral was able to channel a spell to weaken her enough for their allies to defeat the dragon goddess, pushing her back into the Nine Hells and putting an end to the Cult of the Dragon's plot.
In ''Dragonlance''
In the series of novels Dragonlance by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, a version of Tiamat called Takhisis appears as the main villain of the first trilogy.
Powers and abilities
Tiamat is very strong, and each of her heads can attack with one different spell: the red head uses fire, the black uses acid, the green uses a poisonous gas, the blue uses lightning and the white uses ice, also she can open interdimensional portals to travel long distances. She is also very resistant to magic, but as its shown in the episode The Hall Of Bones she is weak against Dugeon Master's disciples' magical artifacts, what also explains why Venger wants them so much.
Trivia
- In some translations of the TV Show, Tiamat is referred to and dubbed as a male, however, she is actually a female dragon.
