Bronze Dragon
Bronze dragons are duty-bound and honorable to a fault, and they are among the best and most ardent advocates of order. Bronze dragons, order's sworn champions, might appear arrogant and haughty, with an inflated sense of self, a trait that can put them at conflict with people they encounter. In rare occasions, the bronze dragon's self-righteousness transforms into something far more malevolent, and it takes control of what it perceives to be inferior races, governing as a harsh dictator over its victims. Bronze dragons establish lairs in coastal caverns with access to the sea, claiming beaches, inlets, and islands as their own. Bronze dragons that are more aggressive prefer lairs along shipping routes to collect tribute from merchant boats as they pass by. Bronze dragons have a deep and enduring hate towards blue dragons, and they are zealous in their defense of their habitats against these intruders.
Despite its good demeanor, the bronze dragon has a ferocious physical aspect. The wings are frequently tinged with green, despite the fact that the majority of its body is a shiny copper color. A bronze dragon's eye begins with a green or blue iris and gradually fades to a solid color with no discernible iris as it ages. The tongue is purple-gray in color, long and pointed, and does not have any forks. The upper half of its neck may be adorned with a big frill. They have a sea-spray odor.
Bronze dragons mate for life and take their responsibilities as parents very seriously. They will go to any length to defend their eggs and wyrmlings. Bronze dragons dwell near water, but their eggs are laid in a dry cave. Bronze dragon eggs, unlike those of other dragons, do not require specific incubation conditions other than a dry, reasonably warm habitat. The wyrmlings are nurtured, trained, and safeguarded by their parents from the moment they hatch. The scales of a newly hatched bronze wyrmling are yellow with a tint of green, and as it develops, the scales will progressively transition to bronze. From the time it emerges from the egg, bronze wyrmlings have a strong feeling of duty, which drives them to search for purpose as completely as they hunt for food.
The entrance to a bronze dragon's lair is naturally underwater, and typically concealed with seaweed and coral due to its extraordinary swimming ability. The majority of the lair, however, is above water level, with many tunnels and huge chambers, some of which are over a thousand feet above sea level. If at all feasible, they prefer to shelter in an island volcano.
While bronze dragons are enthralled by fights, they have deep moral qualms about murdering living beings unless it is absolutely necessary. They will frequently join armies that favor order in the world to battle the powers of chaos. In battle, their preferred weapon is to breathe repulsion gas, which is so foul that it repels everything. When feasible, they also want to remove an adversary to a faraway place where it can't hurt anyone. The bronze dragon is a powerful warrior when forced to kill, some can also scorch foes with lightning bursts and many will tear victims open with its clawed forelegs.
