I'm with Chris on this one -- his answer seems entirely logical and also firmly in keeping with the KISS principle to me. (Plus, it's the way we always did it, too! ;-) )

Dragons are a slightly different story, but to my mind it depends on two things; 1) how much do you want to "characterize" a dragon, and 2) what is the intent of "dragons" in your personal campaign. If they are incredibly rare one-offs, I can see going the whole nine yards on building them as complex creatures/villains (maybe even heroes, depending again on your campaign), but if they're just another boss monster, I wouldn't personally bother with them too much since they do that without a lot of tinkering.
