They of Many Colours describes the creature that goes by this name, a forest-dwelling feathered dragon that considers itself to be a god, and indeed is worshipped as such by some. Their motivation, minions and use in game are described.
Following this are stats for They and their followers.

The final page has a map showing the full lair.

The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough different sections that these would have been appreciated. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of error. There is a stock colour illustration for They, another colour image from Adventures and some custom black and white maps. Presentation is good.
They is a potentially serious opponent and, though the minions are not in the same level by far, they can still prove an annoyance, especially if they make use of the forest. They itself is perhaps confident enough that they won’t be subtle, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to deal with. Potbellied Kobold 5E Villains – They of Many Colors is a decent little encounter that can be easily dropped into a campaign and can be found by clicking here.
