{{Main|Canon:Dragons on Krynn}}
The [[Dragonlance]] [[novel]]s and [[campaign setting]] helped popularize the D&D-derived perspective on dragons. Here the Platinum Dragon is called [[Paladine (Dragonlance)|Paladine]], and the Dragon Queen is called [[Takhisis]]. Dragons are divided up into good and evil groups, known as the Metallic Dragons and the Chromatic Dragons, respectively. Paladine leads the Metallic Dragons and Takhisis the Chromatic. The Metallic Dragons rarely became involved in the world other than to oppose the actions of Chromatic Dragons, who often joined into war as their goddess Takhisis instructed. However, in the "Fifth Age", massive Chromatic Dragons who were not native to Krynn emerged and took over many of the [[humanoid]]-controlled nations of Krynn, as well as slaying many of the native dragons. They are known as Dragon Overlords. There was one from each race of Chromatic Dragons; red, green, black, white, and blue. Four of these have been slain, and only the White Overlord [[Gellidus]] remains.
