The shape of the head is quite unusual, as it includes a large, curved plate that extends from the dragon's eyes and cheeks on either side and curves upwards into two points. Their scales seem to radiate heat and light. The wings are longest at the shoulder, and taper gently as they reach the tail. From below, its outstretched wings form a triangular shape, as they are attached to its body all the way to the tip of its tail. Physically, the brass dragon is highly distinctive. It is not unusual for a brass dragon to be fluent in several hundred different languages, although they prefer to converse in Draconic whenever possible. They love to engage friends and foes alike in hours of long-winded conversation. They love to talk, to the exclusion of much else. Preferred Treasure: Objects made of plant matter (For example: a rare piece of wood, a finely woven garment, etc.)īrass dragons are one of the weakest metallic dragons, and one of the most benign of all species of dragon.Bahamut is the deity of metallic dragons.

Chromatic dragons are presented in the Monster Manual and Draconomicon I and planar dragons are presented in Draconomicon I. In 4th edition, there are five major dragon families: catastrophic, chromatic, metallic, planar and scourge. Detailed information about D&D dragonkind may be found in the Draconomicon, a D&D supplement book designed especially for draconic information. The "lung dragons" or spirit-dragons of Oriental Adventures are also true dragons. For example, mercury and steel dragons would seem to be metallic dragons, but in the Dungeons & Dragons world they are considered to be outside of the main family of metallic dragons because of various biological differences (though the book Dragons of Faerûn does list them as metallic dragons). In addition, there are other sub-species of true dragons that don't fit into the three main categories. However, with 4th edition, the classifications were changed, and chromatic dragons are now not strictly evil, gem dragons were gotten rid of and instead there were added "planar dragons" which are chromatic dragons that were warped by living on a plane of existence other than the Material Plane, as well as "catastrophe dragons" which take on the aspects of natural disasters which are chaotic evil and cause chaos for its own sake Some dragons (particularly metallic dragons) have two different kinds of breath, usually a lethal one (fire, ice, acid, electricity, etc.) and another that is typically non-lethal (paralysis, repulsion, confusion, etc.).ĭungeons & Dragons 3rd edition divided true dragons further into three main categories: chromatic dragons, such as green and black dragons, which are evil- aligned metallic dragons, such as gold and silver dragons, which are good and neutral-aligned gem dragons, rare creatures that possess psionic abilities. In Dungeons & Dragons, there are many color-coded races of dragons, each of which breathes a different element for example, red and gold dragons breathe fire, white and silver dragons breathe frost, and blue and bronze dragons breathe bolts of lightning. For example, they had magic resistance, could no longer be subdued, and had physical attack forms besides just claws and bites. In the second edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, dragons were completely reworked from their first edition counterparts, and were much more powerful. Other creatures with the dragon type include drakes, felldrakes, elemental drakes, landwyrms, linnorms and wurms. Examples of lesser dragons include dragon turtles and wyverns. Lesser dragons do not improve in age categories and may lack all of the abilities of true dragons. True dragons are dragons which increase in power by age categories (wyrmling to great wyrm). The dragon type is broken down into several classifications. The third edition of Dungeons & Dragons classifies dragon as a type of creature, simply defined as "a reptilelike creature, usually winged, with magical or unusual abilities".
