On Dragons... Dragons are highly intelligent creatures that can often speak several languages, including the common tongue. Dragons are also highly manipulative, greedy, and will use other lifeforms, especially humans or humanoids, to carry out their devious political schemes in order to enrich themselves or to bolster their perceived sense of superiority. In combat, dragons are devastating. They weaken enemies with their breath weapon before closing in with fang and claw. A dragon's scales turn aside most ordinary weapons, and their vast wings allow them to control the battlefield from above, striking when advantageous and retreating when pressed...

red dragon

A massive red dragon The dragon's eye burns with fierce malice and notices you poking it...

"Red dragons are covetous and proud tyrants...their breath a torrent of searing fire. These dragons often make their lairs deep within ancient dungeons, hoarding treasure as a monument to their superiority. Every corner of their domain bears the scars of their wrath, and to trespass is to provoke a creature that sees all others as intruders, servants, or slaves..."
