Gold Dragon Good

Golds are the most magnificent of our world's dragons. Priding themselves on their great intelligence, many golds have become scholars, mathematicians, philosophers and artists. Golds are arrogant and do not get attached to "lessers" (humans) as their silver brethren do.

Golds can dwell anywhere, although they prefer mountainous regions. They prefer to use spells over physical combat, and can breathe either a cone of fire or a cloud of chlorine gas.
