Dragon
A dragon is an intensely magical creature that resembles an enormous winged reptile. Dragons have been on the Material Plane since the days of the Titans.
Many creatures have draconic blood or originate from draconic energy, including the wyvern, the Kobold, the Dragon Turtle, the Drake family (from sea drakes to paperdrakes, and the Dragonborn.
Among true dragons, two major types exist: Metallic Dragons who worship Bahamut and tend towards benevolence towards Humanoids and other lesser mortals, and Chromatic Dragons who worship Tiamat and thrive on greed and destruction.
Culture
Shared customary codes and values
The uniting force between nearly all dragons is a desire for treasure, in many forms. Jewels and precious metals are the most commonly sought-after treasures, as are rare and magical items from the mortal world. A few dragons prefer to collect influence, experience, stories, or other less-tangible treasures alongside their visible hoards.
Common Myths and Legends
The first dragons, and the primary gods of the dragons, are Bahamut and Tiamat. While legends among most humanoids claim that these two gods were created to fly Fricka and Gnotan through the nascent worlds as they created them, draconic lore instead believes that the Material Plane hatched directly from their first and only egg. If they should ever reconcile their differences and mate again, a new world will be born that will destroy the old.
Major organizations
The Golden Guard is a fellowship of powerful Metallic Dragons allied to prevent the spread of the Chromatic Dragons' power.
