By far the most amazing boss ever (in my opinion). In my party in order to slay her they had to ride a tortesque into battle against her. What other ways can the battle be a fair one?
Rise of tiamat mentions several ways to decrease her power (can make her go from challenge rating 30 to 21), which is still deadly, but able to defeat.
She has no dad, and Bahamut is not Tiamat's brother.

According to the basic cosmology, Tiamat and Bahamut were formed from the two halves of Io's corpse. Bahamut is thus her "brother" and Io is her "father"

Not really, they weren't actually "born", so they can't be siblings. I think of them as two different sides of the same coin, good dragons for Bahamut, and evil dragons for Tiamat. They're kind of like clones, but they choose to be different in appearance to make their portfolios more apparent.

Yep, Asgorath/Io was the king of all dragons, not good, not bad, all. When he was split in half, he was divided into Tiamat and Bahamut, two different parts of his portfolio, split down the middle, just as Erek-Hus's axe split his body in half.

I honestly don't think it matters? They're gods, so human family conventions doesn't really apply either way. "Brother" and "Sister" and "Father" is a simplified way of looking at it, just like how Selune and Shar aren't really "sisters", but everyone calls them that anyway (because 80s and they weren't allowed to be lesbians). Hell, none of them probably have genders in the traditional sense
I agree that they aren't truly brother and sister, but calling them that is a whole lot easier than saying "Opposite sides of a single coin formed by fission"

if Lo was split exactly down the middle, why did one side have 4 more heads then other think emoji
I think Tiamat just chooses that form, she likes looking fierce. It's like how Bahamut can pretend to be an old senile wizard named Fizban to start adventures.

D&D is a game for nerds... so I guess I'm one :p
Get her brother in on the action. If you're up for some deific resurrection, you can get her dad as well
