Oriental dragons

Past editions of D&D included loads and loads of new kinds of dragons. The world building was ad hoc, so there wasn’t too much logic involved. The default dragons were Western-style dragons, so later oriental dragons were added. (Oddly enough, the gold dragon was originally depicted as an oriental dragon.) Most of their folkloric roots were absent. The interesting thing about oriental dragons in mythology is that they are literally gods. For example, rain dragons cause the rain and so forth. This is really interesting to me so I want to integrate it into my own settings.
