Interesting Dragon Info

[Mimir]

This pretty much sums up my dragon:

Gold Dragons are graceful, sinuous, and wise. They hate injustice and foul play, often embarking on self-appointed quests to promote good. Gold dragons' faces are bewhiskered and sagacious; as they age their pupils fade until the eyes resemble pools of molten gold. They smell of saffron and incense. Gold dragons usually parley before fighting. When conversing with intelligent creatures, they use 'discern lies' and 'detect gems' to gain the upper hand.

It takes some looking to find your dragon's color, but fun for some maintenance down time activity.


Dragon color information


Post your color info:

[Ivy]

hm I didnt find any information about dragon colors there, probably Iam just blind That site kept trying to inform me about miniatures.

[Mimir]

Try clicking on a minature that is looks like your dragon.. for example I clicked on Blue Wyrmling
and got:
Description:

Blue dragons are vain and territorial. They are one of the dragon varieties best adapted to digging into sand. A blue dragon is distinguished by dramatic frilled ears and a single, massive horn on its snout. The size of its scales increases little as the dragon ages, although they do become thicker and harder. Their hides tend to hum and crackle faintly with built-up static electricity. Their vibrant color makes blue dragons easy to spot in barren desert surroundings, but they often burrow into the sand so only part of their heads are exposed. The Blue Wyrmling is a very young Dragon that hasn't strayed far from his mother.

[Sindala]

The closest to Slayvite is the Huge Red Dragon, nice description but Vain? Me?

In the sig is Sindala finding out the best way to make friends with a Dragon is not to hack the young to bits

[Ivy]

Black Dragons are evil-tempered, cunning and malevolent. Characteristics that are reflected in their crafty, sinister faces. They are sometimes known as "skull dragons" because of their deep-socketed eyes and distinctive nasal opening. Adding to the skeletal impression is the gradual deterioration of the hide around the horn base and cheekbones. This increases with age and does not harm the dragon. On hatching, a black dragon's scales are thin, small and glossy. As the dragon ages, they become larger, thicker, and duller, helping it camouflage itself in swamps and marshes. Black dragons lair in large, damp caves and multichambered subterranean caverns.They smell of rotting vegetation and foul water with an acidic undertone.Black dragons prefer to ambush their targets, using their surroundings as cover. When fighting in heavily forested swamps and marshes, they try to stay in the water or on the ground; trees and leavy canopies limit their aerial maneuverability. When out-matched, a black dragon attempts to fly out of sight, so as not to leave tracks, and hide in a deep pond or bog.

Interesting, considering my green chest pieces

[SilverMyst]

Silver Dragons are regal and statuesque. They cheerfully assist good creatures in genuine need and often take the forms of kindly old men or fair damsels when associating with humans. A silver wyrmling's scales are blue-gray with silver highlights. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color slowly brightens until the individual scales are scarcely visible. From a distance, these dragons look as if they have been sculpted from pure metal. Silver dragons prefer aerial lairs on secluded mountainpeaks or amid the clouds themselves. A faint smell of rain always accompanies them. Even in clouds, though, the lair always has an enchanted area with a solid floor for laying eggs and storing treasure.

[Frith-Rae]

bah - I hate dragon personalities based on color -pooey!

[pevil2000]

^ agreed with Frith on this one. But I'll play along.

Shadria, my new hatchie is a silver (see SilverMysts post)... I dunno. Kinda sounds like her a bit (she's a helian with a bit of a "I'm so much more awesome than you all" attitude but she also loves to help others out and has a cheeky streak in her). Pevil my main is a green

"Green Dragons are belligerent and tend to attack without provocation. Their fierce, toothy jaws and arrogant crests warn other creatures of their aggressive nature. Green Dragons initiate fights with little or no provocation, picking on creatures of any size. If the target is intriguing or seems formidable, the dragon stalks the creature to determine the best time to strike and the most appropriate tactic to use. If the target appears weak, the dragon makes its presence known quickly -- it enjoys evoking terror. "

Nothing like Pev. It should be, she's a Lunus and whilst she does love a fight, she's probably one of the softest dragons I know, tending to take all hatchies and Saris under her wing; she's even been known to befriend a gnome! (admittedly the slave of our guildleader on Unity who regularly got passed around as a snack... but ssh!). She IS prone to picking on stuff regardless of the size, but thats more stupidity (hmmm wonder what that is... ow it hurts!) than aggression. And she hardly ever stalks them or observes them; she finds out how they fight by amassing dps!

[Lunarya]

Among the smallest and least intelligent of dragonkind, most white dragons are simply animalistic predators.Their faces express single-minded ferocity rather than the shrewdness of their more intelligent kin. The scales of a wyrmling dragon glisten like mirrors. As the dragon ages, the sheen disappears and by very old age, scales of pale blue and light gray are mixed in with the white.

[Malaquion]

Description:

Does this fierce creature actually need an introduction? How many adventurers out there have never quaked in their leather boots at the mention of this ancient, fire-breathing wyrm?Red Dragons are the most covetous of all dragons, forever seeking to increase their treasure hordes. They are exceptionally vain, which is reflected in their proud bearing and disdainful expression. Red Dragons lair in large caves that extend deep into the earth, which shimmer with the heat of their bodies and are marked by a sulfurous, smoky odor.

------------------------

It is true that Malaquion is a rather greedy dragon, and hoards almost everything hoardable she gets (but then again, don't most people?). It is also true that she is a bit vain, having believed herself to be one of the more beautiful hatchlings around (though she ended up with the nickname "gnomedragon" since she's red and green). She does lair in the volcanic regions around Dralk, though her cave is hardly huge and extensive.

[Neural Nebula]

D'oy, I'm a Nebula Dragon foo' and nothing but!

But... if you insist to go by standardized colour vs persona assessment then I suppose my closest cousin may be:

The Sapphire Dragon

Characteristics:
* Very territorial - views all visitors as intruders
* Most militaristic of the gems and keeps vassals well trained and conditioned
* Rarely comes into conflict with the other clans
* Leaders
* Comes into conflict with Blacks for territory
* Not quick to attack
* Enemies: drow and dwarves, mind flayers, aboleth
* Treat their young well, but force them to leave early
* Treasure is usually kept in caverns only accessible by magic or psionics

Habitat:
* Subterranean lairs under 2 of the larger southern isles - extensive caverns that extend beneath the jungles
* Likes to eat giant spiders

Physiology:
* At birth, scales vary from light to dark blue. Beautiful
* Sometimes mistaken for Blues if observer doesn't remember climates
* Breath weapon: cone of high-pitched, almost inaudible, sound
* Immune to all forms of fear, web, hold, slow, and paralysis

Appearances in Literature and Folklore:
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons

Initial sourcing: The Serene Dragon

~

With a mingling of Amethyst and Crystal betwixt the core. And so there you have it, I'm more of an amalgamation when one has only the chromatic, metallic and gem spectrums to draw from. Additional thoughts? Well, the Saphhire desc' is correct on most counts, not sure about the 'arachnivore' tendencies though...

[Greenclaw1]

Us green dragons are eco friendly, laid back and have the occasional tendency to invite friends back to the lair to smoke um peace pipe.

[C`gan]

As long as you don't mind the peace pipe smoking with chlorine gas, you're fine.

I'll stick to blues.
