Brass dragon
Environment: Deserts
Organization: Solitary or mating pairs.
Prefered treasure: Emerald
Alignment: Chaotic good
At birth, a brass dragon’s scales are a dull, mottled brown. As the dragon gets older, the scales become more brassy until they reach a warm, burnished appearance. The grand head-plates of a brass dragon are smooth and metallic, and it sports bladed chin horns that grow sharper with age. Wings and frills are mottled green toward the edges, darkening with age. As the dragon grows older, its pupils fade until the eyes resemble molten metal orbs.
These are the most gregarious of all dragons, and are famous for their love of conversation.
Combat
Brass dragons would rather talk than fight. If an intelligent creature tries to leave without engaging in conversation, the dragon might force compliance in a fit of pique, using a dose of sleep gas. A creature put to sleep may wake to find itself pinned or buried to the neck in the sand until the dragon’s thirst for small talk is slaked. When faced with real danger, younger brass dragons fly out of sight, then hide by burrowing into the sand. Older dragons spurn this ploy but still prefer to have the advantage in combat.
Abilities
Breath Weapon: A brass dragon has two types of breath weapon, a line of fire and a cone of sleep gas.
Speak with animals: Can talk in a variety of tongues from a young age.
Summon Djinni: This ability, usable by a great wyrm brass dragon, works like a summon monster spell, except that it summons one djinni.
Skills: They are good bluffers, brilliant at gather and remembering information. They also have good survival techniques.

Bronze dragon
Environment: Forest, mountains and plains.
Organization: Solitary or in family groups ((Mother and offspring))
Prefered treasure: Diamond
Alignment: Lawful good
A bronze wyrmling’s scales are yellow tinged with green, showing only a hint of bronze. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color deepens slowly to a darker, rich bronze tone. Very old dragons develop a blue-black tint to the edges of their scales. Powerful swimmers, they have webbed feet and smooth, flat scales. The pupils of its eyes fade as a dragon ages, until in the oldest the eyes resemble glowing green orbs.
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.
Combat
Bronze dragons dislike killing animals and would rather bribe them (perhaps with food) or force them away magically.
When attacking they blind their opponents with fog clouds and then charge or, if flying, snatch them up. Against seafaring opponents they conjure up a storm or use their tails to smash the vessels’ hulls. If a dragon is inclined to be lenient, ships might be merely becalmed, fogbound, or broken-masted.
Abilities
Breath Weapon: Bronze dragons have two types of breath weapon, a line of water and a cone of thick fog.
Water Breathing: A bronze dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged.
Alternate Form: A young or older bronze dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day.
Storm: A old or older dragon can conjure up a storm.
Skills: Bronze dragons are master of disguises, good swimmers and have great survival skills.

Copper dragon
Environment: Plains
Organization: Solitary or in pairs.
Prefered treasure: Emerald
Alignment: Chaotic good
At birth, a copper dragon’s scales have a ruddy brown color with a metallic tint. As the dragon gets older, the scales become finer and more coppery, assuming a soft, warm gloss by young adult age. Very old dragons’ scales pick up a green tint. A copper dragon’s pupils fade with age, and the eyes of great wyrms resemble glowing turquoise orbs.
These have a well-deserved reputation as incorrigible pranksters, joke-tellers, and riddlers.
Combat
A copper dragon appreciates wit and usually doesn’t harm creatures that can relate a joke, humorous story, or riddle the dragon has not heard before. It quickly gets annoyed with anyone who doesn’t laugh at its jokes or accept its tricks with good humor. It likes to taunt and annoy opponents into giving up or acting foolishly.
An angry copper dragon prefers to mire foes using transmute rock to mud. The dragon pushes trapped opponents into the mud or snatches and carries them aloft. A copper dragon tries to draw airborne enemies into narrow, stony gorges where it can use its spider climb ability and maneuver them into colliding with the walls.
Abilities
Breath Weapon : A copper dragon has two types of breath weapon, a line of acid and a cone of slow gas. Slow gas makes an opponents reactions slower, and forces them to move slower.
Spider Climb: A copper dragon can climb on stone surfaces as though using the spider climb spell.
Rock to mud: A young and older copper dragon can change rocks, and rocky surfaces, into sticky mud.
Skills: Excellent bluffers and good at hiding.

Organization: Solitary, in pairs or sometimes in family groups ((Siblings))
Prefered treasure: Gold and diamonds
Alignment: Lawful good
On hatching, a gold dragon’s scales are dark yellow with golden metallic flecks.
The flecks get larger as the dragon matures until, at the adult stage, the scales are completely golden. Gold dragons’ faces are bewhiskered and sagacious; as they age, their pupils fade until the eyes resemble pools of molten gold.
Gold dragons are champions against evil and foul play. They often embark on self-appointed quests to promote good.

Gold dragons usually parley before fighting. In combat, they make heavy use of spells. Among their favorites are cloudkill, delayed blast fireball, fire shield, globe of invulnerability, maze, sleep, slow, and stinking cloud.

Alternate Form: A gold dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day.

Luck Bonus: Once per day an adult or older gold dragon can touch a gem, usually one embedded in the dragon’s hide, and enspell it to bring good luck.
Detect Gems: An old or older gold dragon can use this ability three times per day. This is a divination effect similar to a locate object ability, except that it finds only gems.

Silver dragon
Environment: Mountains
Organization: Solitary or in family groups ((Siblings))
Prefered treasure: Ruby
Alignment: Lawful good
A silver wyrmling’s scales are blue-gray with silver highlights. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its color gradually brightens until the individual scales are scarcely visible.
These dragons enjoy helping the meek and the lowly. They often concern themselves with protecting the innocent and healing their injuries. They are nonviolent and avoid combat whenever possible. They are the most sensitive of all dragons.
Combat
Silver dragons are not violent and avoid combat except when faced with highly evil or aggressive foes. If necessary, they use fog cloud or control weather to blind or confuse opponents before attacking. When angry, they use reverse gravity to fling enemies helplessly into the air, where they can be snatched. Against flying opponents, a silver dragon hides in clouds (creating some with control weather on clear days), then jumps to the attack when it has the advantage.
Abilities
Breath Weapon: A silver dragon has two types of breath weapon, a cone of cold and a cone of paralyzing gas.
Alternate Form: A silver dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day.
Cloudwalking : A silver dragon can tread on clouds or fog as though on solid ground. The ability functions continuously but can be negated or resumed at will.
Control weather: Silver dragons at any age can control weather, though the ability gets stronger and more successful the older the dragon.
Skills: Masters of disguise and bluffing
