Steel Dragon Good

Steel Dragons are noble metallic dragons aligned with good, recognized by their steel-gray scales with a bluish sheen. They are intelligent, adaptable and closely tied to human society.

Unlike other dragons, they can exhale molten lava as a powerful breath weapon that reveals their hidden strength. Despite this, they favor non-lethal, tactical solutions and resort to force only when necessary.

Found near large cities, especially human ones, they prefer urban lairs like castles, manors, sealed cellars or ancient ruins beneath the streets. Social and cultured, they value philosophy, music, law and politics, and often live in humanoid form as mentors or advisors. Some form lasting bonds, even raising children or guiding leaders.

In battle, they fight with precision and restraint, fully capable of devastation but attuned to preserving life.
