Metallic Dragons*
Metallic dragons in modern fantasy are good, unlike chromatic dragons
All dragons have the choice whether to be good or evil. But there are some general tendencies based on type. Unlike chromatic dragons which are usually evil, metallic dragons are usually good. There are five kinds of metallic dragons: brass, bronze, copper, gold, silver.
BRASS DRAGONS
These are the most gregarious of all dragons and are famous for their love of conversation. They crave sunlight and dry heat so they frequent hot, arid regions, particularly sandy deserts. They like to make their lairs in high rocky caves.
Brass dragons have dull, mottled brown scales at birth. As time goes on the scales become more brassy until they reach a warm burnished appearance. Brass dragons have supple, expressive lips. These are very useful, as they like to do lots of talking. They can breathe fire.
BRONZE DRAGONS
Having a strong sense of justice, bronze dragons do not tolerate cruelty or anarchy in any form. They are also inquisitive and find humanoids fascinating. They live near deep water especially in tropical coastal areas and islands. They wage a constant struggle against evil sea creatures and often live in caves or near underground streams or lakes.
Bronze dragons have a beaklike snout and a pointed tongue. Their feet are webbed and they have webbing behind their forelimbs. Their scales are smooth and flat.
COPPER DRAGONS
These have a well-deserved reputation as incorrigible pranksters, joke-tellers and riddlers. They live in dry, rocky uplands and mountains and in narrow caves.
Copper dragons have massive thighs and shoulders as they are excellent jumpers and climbers. Like other metallic dragons, its scales are dull at birth and become shinier with aging. They love sharing jokes and will eat almost anything.
GOLD DRAGONS
Gold dragons are champions against evil and foul play. They often embark on self-appointed quests to promote good. They make their lairs in secluded areas such as deep gorges or high plateaus.
