In Dungeons & Dragons, the term "Fat Dragon" typically refers to a humorous or whimsical take on the classic dragon archetype, often used in homebrew campaigns or as part of a lighthearted or comedic adventure. While dragons are usually depicted as fearsome, powerful, and often hoarding vast treasures, a "Fat Dragon" is a dragon that has indulged excessively in its hoard, leading to a rotund, sluggish, or even lazy appearance. These dragons might be less mobile, more gluttonous, and often obsessed with consuming vast amounts of food, particularly gold, gems, and other precious items, to maintain their oversized form.

The idea of a "Fat Dragon" is largely a tongue-in-cheek concept that subverts the traditional lore of dragons as majestic and intimidating creatures. A Fat Dragon could be portrayed as a comically slow, overweight dragon that struggles with its mobility or might even be out of breath after attempting to take flight. It might also have a greater fondness for treasure that is edible or consume objects in ways that don’t make much sense for a typical dragon. Some Fat Dragons could be so focused on acquiring more wealth to satisfy their endless hunger that they become lethargic and easy targets for adventurers seeking to defeat or outwit them.

While "Fat Dragon" is not a standard creature in D&D sourcebooks, the concept can add humor and a unique challenge for players. Dungeon Masters often use these types of dragons to create memorable, offbeat encounters, breaking away from the usual intense, perilous dragon battles. A Fat Dragon might also be used to provide a contrast in tone within a campaign, offering a comedic relief from more serious encounters. Whether it is a quirky boss fight or a character that provides unexpected dialogue, the Fat Dragon represents a fun twist on traditional dragon lore.
