The fat dragon is what really landed the movie for me. That? That was a DM decision, based on the players and the DM being memelords. Straight from the tabletop.

It really just demonstrated that the whole movie is a DnD campaign (agglomerate homebrew) with extremely high production value, and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

The fat dragon, Themberchaud, is actually a canon obese dragon. He’s in the Out of the Abyss module and some others.

Huh, TIL.

Still, without knowing that, it looked exactly like the kind of collective meme the table would come up with and beg the DM to add.

Absolutely, the whole movie felt like that which was a big part of it’s charm. Watching the first scene I could imagine the players asking the arrakoan chancellor’s name, which the DM hadn’t prepped, so he just made up Jarnathan on the spot…

The fat dragon made my wife lose it. She just kept saying “He looks just like the cat when he smells chicken.”
