all about dragons

Dragons:chapter 6 (examples of dragons)

Brass Dragons: Sandy desert regions are the typical habitat of the highly intelligent brass dragons. They are quite forward and officious and they love to talk. They are rather selfish. These dragons are large in size, up to 30 feet in length. The breath weapon of these dragons is either a cone of sleeping gas, or a billowing cloud of gas that causes fear.

Bronze Dragons: Dwell in subterranean lairs near substantial bodies of water such as lakes and oceans. Despite their love of wealth, they are basically of beneficent nature. They often assume the form of some animal in order to observe the affairs of humans. The Bronze dragon are larger than the Brass dragons. They reach up to 42 feet in length. There are two breath weapons the dragons employ. They either use a bolt of lightning or a gas of repulsion.

Copper Dragons:They prefer to inhabit arid rocky regions, liking warmer climate in which to locate their lair. These highly intelligent dragons tend to be rather selfish. The average length of a copper dragon is 36 feet long and may use 2 different breath weapons. The first one is a cone of acid or they can use a cloud of gas that causes lethargy.
Gold Dragons:They are able to dwell in any climate but their lairs are always of solid stone whether a cave or a castle. Although they love precious metals and gems and use jewels and pearls as nourishment, all gold dragons are lawful, just and good. They are able to assume the form of animals or the guise of humanity, for they can polymorph themselves without harm. It is in this form that they are typically encountered. They are 54 feet long and their intelligence level would be considered as genius. The breath weapon of the gold dragons is either a cone of fire, or a cone of chlorine gas.

Silver Dragons:These dragons select mountain peaks, clouds and similar locales in which to establish their abode. It is claimed that this dragon can be found in the home of the King of Good Dragons as well as behind other winds as well. Like gold dragons, these creatures are able to polymorph themselves in order to appear as an animal or human. They are 48 feet in length and are considered to have exceptional intelligence. The breath weapon of silver dragons is either a cone of frost, or a cloud of paralyzing gas.

Platinum Dragons also known as Bahamut: The King of Good dragons. Bahamut the platinum dragon dwells in a great fortified palace behind the east wind. About one quarter of the time he roams the earth in the guise of human or nearly any other form he chooses for Bahamut is able to shape change freely. He can travel astrally or ethereally. He is the longest in length of all the good dragons measuring 72 feet long and is considered to be supra genius in intelligence. There are seven huge ancient gold dragons of highest abilities and loyalty who serve as guards, companions, and advisers to Bahamut. He seldom is without them. He has 3 forms of breath weapons to choose from, a cone of cold, a cloud of vapor which causes persons to lose their substance and assume a gaseous form or a sonic vibration which will cause disintegration.
Emerald Dragons: Emerald dragons live among the tropical southern waters. They are a curious species, taken to keeping track of history, lore and customs. They tend to be very reclusive. Emerald dragons love privacy so far as to determine where the dragons lords and their spawn establish their lairs. Emerald dragons build their domains around inactive volcano ranges. Emerald dragons are not finicky eaters. They do prefer lizards and giants, but they will eat anything in a pinch. Emerald dragons get along best with Sapphire dragons and they fear the red dragon because of their greed. The breath weapon of an Emerald dragon is a loud wail that sends sonic vibrations through the enemy.
Topaz Dragons: These dragons inhabit the temperate coastal regions, building their lairs below the water line, constructing them to remain very dry. They do not like the water, but will swim to hunt, attack or to reach their lairs, but not for enjoyment. They love to eat fish and other seafood. Their favorite is the giant squid. While not malicious, these dragons are not the best of company nor to deal with. They display erratic behavior which is confusing and unsettling. Unless it specifically interests or affects them, Topaz dragons tend to be indifferent to the causes and concerns that occupy the rest of the dragon kind. It takes time to develop a friendship with these dragons...but once formed, it's a lifetime friendship. The breath weapon of the Topaz dragon is a cone of dehydratio
Crystal Dragons: These friendly dragons of the north spend much time learning about the world around them. While solitary in nature, they welcome visitors who come by to them with good intentions. These dragons establish their domains in the cold northern reaches, building their castles out of snow and ice. The White Dragons consider the Crystal Dragons as prey, so the two clans are constantly in conflict. Like other benevolent dragons, the Crystal dragons would rather talk than fight. Metal ores and gems are the preferred food of these dragons. The breath weapon of the Crystal dragon is a cone of glowing shards.
Amethyst Dragons: The most powerful of the neutral dragons. They are honorable and regal dragons. They inhabit northern mountains, living on the shores of isolated lakes and pools. They approach life with a detached air, ignoring the conflicts of good and evil. They see these conflicts as petty squabbles over inconsequential points of view. While Amethyst dragons consider their Silver and Copper cousins to be foolish and have an active dislike of red and white dragons, they don't consider any life form to be their inherent enemies. Amethyst dragons eat large quantities of fish and gems. Most keep at least one hidden underwater cave for seclusion and secrecy. The breath weapon of the Amethyst dragon is a faceted, violet lozenge, spit at 75 feet, explodes with concussion force damaging creatures near the explosion
White Dragons: White dragons favor chilly or cold regions to dwell. They lair in icy caves or deep subterranean places. Although not as intelligent as other dragons, they are as evil and greedy as any. They have low to average intelligence and are only 24 feet in length. The breath weapon of the white dragon is a cone of frost.
Chromatic Dragons known also as Tiamat: Tiamat rules the first plane of the Nine Hells where she spawns all of evil dragon kind. She hates all good as fiercely as she loves cruelty and hoards wealth. She is seldom outside her lair, but occasionally she comes to earth to place a new dragon or to seek more treasure. She can travel astrally or ethereally. Although her sheer size prevents claw attacks, Tiamat can bite with all five of her heads and sting with her tail at the same time, breath with one or more of these heads or cast spells with one or more heads at the same time. Tiamats heads are white, black, green, blue and red. Her breath weapons correspond to the color of each head. Each head of Tiamat can regenerate. The regeneration takes a full day. When encountered in her lair, Tiamat will always have five consorts/guards with her - one huge adult ancient male dragon of the white, black, green, blue and red dragons. She is a genius in intelligence level and she is 60 feet long.
