The title speaks for itself - though I'm not sure if this was asked before (by me ), or not... anyway, could someone tell me where this creature hides in HotU - as big as he/she is, I somehow managed to miss it.

The guy who takes you to the different islands with boat is a shadow dragon, and as far as I know there isn't a prismatic dragon in the campaign.

How can you find this out? Is there any specific quest for this?

and as far as I know there isn't a prismatic dragon in the campaign.

Then how about this:

This prismatic dragon may have been intended to be part of the campaign, but the concept probably ended up being scrapped. There's evidence that Bioware has a tendency of leaving unused creatures in the data files, if I'm not mistaken.

However, I do remember picking up a nice pair of prismatic dragon boots. The only dragon I do remember in HotU is the dracolich- only because it was such a pain in the arse to defeat it.

Yeh, sad enough, but this might be the case here.

There is a Shadow Dragon in the Cania tavern, and the boatman in the underdark - according to Archmage Silver.

Yep, the boatman is a shadow dragon, you can see the transformation to dragon when the attack by Valsharess' troops happens, I don't remember if you had to side with Valsharess first or not, but I've seen it.

So he actually betrays the city, or helps to defend it?

[Archmage Silver]

What would ya expect from a shadow dragon? He let's some of the attackers to the city with boat and so allowes them to take the docks. When he's done with that I couldn't find him, which was disappointing because I wanted to bash him.

[T.G.Maestro]

Oh, so he is the one who lets the Drow Flamamasters into the city.

[Archmage Silver]

Yep, and I have checked and found no chance to fight him. Sneaky for a dragon.

Edit: And about the prismatic dragon, you read the desription Bio wrote for it. HotU was supposed to have gloomy feeling and if there was a shop-a-holic neon colored dragon around it might slightly put off that feeling. It would have been a nice easter egg though. Bio has always made creatures and not used them anywhere, more for NWN than other games, since NWN is module based, very much designed for modding and creatures are used for mods if not for game campaigns.
