FAERY DRAGONS

small, swift, and incredibly magical, Faery dragons are difficult to spot, and more difficult to talk to

Faedragon

cat-sized, these are the most magically inclined of the Faery Dragons, as well as the largest, reaching the size of a cat.

Moth Dragon

arboreal and nocturnal, these tiny dragons are very talkative.

Ryladragon

the fastest of the Faery Dragons, but also the most secretive

CHROMATIC and METALLIC DRAGONS

dragons which are unique for having incredible magic skills and being uniquely in-tune with elemental forces

Black

a swamp dweller with a skull-like head, the black dragon spits a corrosive acid.

Blue

Skilled at illusion magic, this desert-dwelling species has powerful electric attacks. they keep fairly well-ordered, hierarchical societies.

Green

this talkative and highly aggressive forest dweller breathes out poisonous gas. They are mean-tempered, cruel, and rude. These dragons love intrigue and secrets. They delight in stalking their enemies and listening in for any information they can gather before moving to attack. They are highly territorial, and will often view any intrusion into their domain, voluntary or not, as a personal affront. They are extremely cunning and duplicitous foes, and love double-crossing others. A traveler who stumbles into a green dragon's territory may be able to bribe the dragon for safe passage, but more often than not the dragon will pretend to agree and then attack the unsuspecting offender once their guard is down.

Red

considered the strongest of the Chromatic Dragons, the Red Dragons wield incredible power over fire. Red dragons are covetous creatures, interested only in their own well-being, vanity and the extension of their treasure hoards. They are supremely confident of their own abilities and are prone to making snap decisions without any forethought. Red Dragons believe that they are the pinnacle of draconic nature and that all other species are impure. They value vengefulness, rapaciousness, avarice and ferocity above other traits and recognize these traits in themselves with pride. They are solitary creatures and care little for news of other types of dragons. They do however, look for news of other red dragons in their area.

If they believe their own achievements and possessions to be greater than these other red dragons then they stay in their caves, smugly congratulating themselves but if they learn that the achievements or possessions of the other red dragons are greater than their own they will fly into a vengeful rage, decimating the surrounding area until they believe that they have outdone their rivals. The dragon becomes much less cautious during this time and much more likely to underestimate their foes.

Unfortunately, red dragons can go to extreme lengths to ensure that every other red dragon in the area knows that they are inferior to the red dragon spreading the news. They will often burn down only half a village or let a single adventurer flee from a battle so that word of their power spreads throughout the region. Not only will this anger other red dragons but it is also like a shining beacon to adventurers & treasure hunters.

If a red dragon ever finds out that another red dragon has "lost it", either by getting badly wounded or if they are becoming senile in old age then local red dragons will descend on the lair, stripping it clean and usually killing the owner. They despise the thought of weakness in any red dragon and believe that if a red dragon cannot protect what it has, then it doesn't deserve to have it.

Reds are also highly territorial. Entering an area a red considers its domain is just asking to be attacked, especially if it is another dragon entering the area (even more so if it is a red dragon). Conflict is inevitable if this is the case and it is almost always to the death as neither would dare show weakness to the other. Thankfully, most other species are smart enough to flee if they realize the area belongs to a red dragon. Red dragons can get so territorial that in rare occasions they will adopt a protective yet patronizing attitude towards creatures they consider inferior that live within their self-imposed borders.

Silver

Metallic dragons, such as the silver dragon, actually have two breath weapons. in the case of silver dragons, these consist of frost and a paralyzing gas.

Metallic dragons are also less inclined to fight than other dragons, though they still have a typical dragon mindset.

Silver dragons can actually change shape into creatures as small as a pony, and enjoy doing so. matings between silver dragons in pony form and normal ponies never produce children.

Most silvers group together in "clans," a loose organization of dragons who choose to live together as a family. Clans take communal responsibility for protecting and raising their wyrmlings. A senior member of the clan may act as a leader, but no true leader actually exists. Silver dragons do not feel the need for a strict social structure, since they are most content to live as honestly as possible. Silver dragons are extremely rare and elusive, preferring to take the guise of kind and elderly poniess or very attractive and young poniess. They very much like to associate with equines, not necessarily because they prefer their company over other races, but because they try to learn from the shorter lived species.

Silver dragons' favored enemy are red dragons because these chromatic dragons almost always have a talent for destruction. Additionally, silvers and reds favor the same sort of terrain for lairs, which leads to territorial disputes on top of having attitudes and philosophies at odds with the others.

Copper

Copper dragons live in deserts and can spit acid as well as a "slow gas" which causes creatures to slow down to where they are barely moving. They are born tricksters and jokesters. They are quite devious and clever, but their intent is purely benign. They do not seek to harm 'lesser' creatures, but merely wish to impress them with superior intelligence and wit, and to fool them with clever pranks. A visitor to a copper dragon's lair can expect to be entertained at length, although the dragon will become angry if the visitor does not appear impressed with her tricks, riddles, and stories. When it comes to combat, copper dragons prefer to avoid it. Rather than fighting openly, they prefer to taunt, humiliate, and tease their opponents until they simply give up and run away. Their ability to dramatically slow opponents often gives them ample time to run away. When forced, however, a copper dragon will fight to the very end, and is an incredibly devious antagonist. Their acid breath is not to be taken lightly. When it comes to open battle, copper dragons are formidable fighters.

Brass

able to breath fire and "sleep gas", Brass dragons love to talk, to the exclusion of most else. They love to engage friends and foes alike in hours of long-winded conversation. It is not unusual for a brass dragon to be fluent in several hundred different languages.

Bronze

Coastal dragons able to discharge electricity and breathe out "repulsion gas" (so smelly to the point the target runs just to get away from the dragon), bronze dragons are often fascinated with battles, especially fighting to defeat evil, though they have strong moral compunctions against killing living beings unless absolutely necessary. it is said Bronze dragons can speak with animals, make fog, control water and weather, and detect thought.
