Episode 6 of the Rise of Tiamat adventure (chapter 14 in the combined Tyranny of Dragons book), "Metallic Dragons, Arise", has cover art featuring 3 metallic dragons.

Art depicting a gold dragon, an unidentified dragon with white, blue, and purple shades of skin, and a silver dragon

The art (full-resolution image here) depicts a gold dragon (the big one on the left), an unknown dragon that I'm trying to identify (the second one), and a silver dragon (the third one, with a punk-style crest on its head).

Which type is the second dragon here?

It looks very similar to silver one by its colors and scales and wings, but it has no punk-styled crest on its head which is so typical for silver dragons.

Best Answer

Hey everyone this is Marcel Mercado, the artist behind the art. As many have pointed out, that is another silver dragon. The brief called for one Gold dragon, and two silver dragon. Quadratic Wizard nailed it on the head.
