The Field Guide to Floral Dragons — Flower Dragon Bestiary

Some dragons hoard gold. These ones bloom.

The Field Guide to Floral Dragons is a beautifully illustrated 200+ page exploration of dragons inspired by flowers, plants, fungi, and the tiny ecosystems growing around them.

Part fantasy field guide, part unfolding story, and part tabletop bestiary, the book delves into each floral dragon's origins, biology, habitat, behavior, and relationships with people and other dragons. Throughout its pages, notes left by floral dragon researchers slowly reveal another story—one of curiosity, despair, revenge, and hope—for attentive readers to piece together.

For tabletop adventurers, the field guide also contains a substantial collection of game-ready material for the 2014 edition of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, including more than 25 creature stat blocks and 10 floral-dragon-inspired magic items and poisons.

You can bring them to your campaign—or simply curl up and read about an entire imaginary ecosystem of dragons that grow among the flowers.

Why We Love It

It's a fantasy field guide you can actually get lost in. Habitats, biology, relationships, researcher notes—these creatures are treated as inhabitants of a living world rather than simply a collection of stat blocks.

Kin Wald's artwork is gorgeous. Botanical illustration and fantasy creature design belong together remarkably well.

There's a story hiding in the margins. The researchers' notes gradually reveal a narrative for curious readers to uncover as they make their way through the book.

You don't have to be the GM to want it. There's plenty here for 5e play, but the lore and artwork give the book life well beyond the gaming table.
