Tiamat, goddess of chromatic dragons (Tia-mat)
Tiamat is the queen and mother of evil dragons. She is a greedy, vain, and arrogant goddess who embodies all the strengths of her chromatic progeny but few of their weaknesses. Tiamat and her followers hold a vicious hatred of Bahamut, the God-King of good dragons, and all that he stands for. She embodies the ideal of supremacy and therefore her dogma includes that the weak of the world are deserving of eradication, finding that only those who fight and dominate in order to survive as worthy of such a privilege. She is entirely focused on the acquisition of personal power and wealth and views mortals as hapless pawns in her struggles with other deities. Tiamat can be charming when necessary, but her self-serving, evil, reptilian nature is readily apparent to those who look. She enjoys the company of male dragons, and has many great wyrm consorts of the chromatic varieties. She has an insatiable greed for treasures, but prefers that her followers bring it to her in the form of gifts instead of searching for riches on her own. She ironically is not commonly worshipped by chromatic dragons who usually don't want to offer her the riches of their hoard. She instead is satiated for worship by a myriad of humanoid cults, much to her disdain.
