What makes a good dragon name?

A good dragon name should convey power, majesty, and ancient wisdom. It typically features strong consonants like K, X, R, and TH, multiple syllables (2-4), and often includes an epithet or title that describes the dragon's element, color, or notable trait (like "Stormwing" or "the Eternal").

How do I choose between Ancient and Elemental dragon types?

Ancient dragons emphasize age, wisdom, and timeless power - perfect for legendary beings that have existed for millennia. Elemental dragons focus on natural forces like fire, ice, storm, or shadow - ideal for dragons with strong connections to specific elements or domains.

Can I combine the generated name with my own epithets?
