In the Dragonlance world, Tiamat/Thakisis corrupted the captured eggs of good dragons into the Draconians[bipedal dragon men, some with traits of the metalic dragons they should have been].

In the chaimail game's story, Bahamut gave the elves dragon blooded combat allies known as fell drakes, who just happen to have Chromatic dragon features.

Has it even been stated these critters are altered evil dragons, or is the art just hinting at this?

Certainly an intriguing notion, if you accept that Bahamut and Tiamat are in fact the same entities as Paladine and Takhisis (which I do not). Perhaps the first Feldrakes were chromatic dragons who wanted redemption, but feared Tiamat's wrath? The vast reduction in power and service to the Elves could have been a form of atonement...

Also in the DLMM, there are Noble Draconians which fit the role better. (chromatic draconians which are good)
