Bronze dragons are honorable champions of order. All of them dispose of all chaos and enforce justice within their territory, but for some this is not enough; these more ambitious dragons widen their scope to countries, sometimes entire continents. This sometimes means that a Bronze Dragon will act as a tyrant ruler because the ends justify the means. They are unmoving in this respect, which can cause them to come into conflict with creatures who actually share a lot of the same beliefs.
Terrain and Habitat
Bronze dragons love the coast and live near the sea. Sometimes they find a suitable place underwater such as a shipwreck or kelp bed. Very rarely, a Bronze Dragon may try to live in fresh water, but this only lasts as long as there is food enough to sustain it. Inland salt lakes are feasible places to find a Bronze Dragon, given that the lake is large enough.
Lairs
Most of the time, a Bronze Dragon's lair is accessible by water, with the entrance hidden by waves. Within, the dragon may have laid traps such as slides, deadfalls, or shifting tunnels. A Bronze Dragon also makes sure that it has an escape route, usually a chimney-like vertical tunnel just large enough for it to fly through. Oddly enough, these tunnels are often so overgrown and well-hidden that they are actually harder to find than the main entrance.
Favored Treasure
A Bronze Dragon collects whatever it can loot from shipwrecks or underwater ruins. Because most metals corrode in salt water, a hoard usually consists of ceramics, gems, and other long-lasting durable valuables.
Diet
Bronzes love seafood of all varieties, but especially shark. They do not eat sentient creatures aside from Sahuagin, who taste remarkably like shark.
