Cruel and vile, black dragons are among the most sadistic of their kind. They favor trickery and ambush. Black dragons have glossy black scales on their heads, limbs and back, and yellow scales upon their bellies, with swampy green flesh between the phalanges of their wings. A webbed crest rises from the center of their head and runs down their neck, and an imposing pair of bony horns curls out from behind their eyes and thrusts forward. Their teeth are perpetually exposed and their faces are sunken and skull-like. Hailing from fetid swamps, black dragons are creatures of stealth, and are at home in the water and the land.

The most proud of the dragons, they rule over lands too hostile for others. Blue dragons have iridescent blue scales matching the clearest of skies upon their bodies, except for sandy yellow on their bellies and their wing membranes. They have rows of backwards facing spikes along their spine, running the length of their neck, back, and tail, and large blue horns thrusting back from where a human's ears would be. Their faces are snubish and dog-like, and they possess a single large yellow horn upon their nose, like a rhino’s. Blue dragons are native to the desert, badlands, and coasts, where they can hide among the sky or bury themselves in the sand and rocks.

Extroverted and gregarious, brass dragons enjoy company and conversation. Their scales begin a muted brown with warm tinges of fiery brass and green tarnished edges to the membranes of their wings. Instead of wings that resemble hands with elongated fingers, their wings are lead by powerful arms and held outward by rows of spines running down their backs. Their heads are framed with large shield-like plates, with a face like a dinosaur’s. Brass dragons enjoy hot and dry climates, especially deserts.

Bronze dragons are calm and calculating, and are curious of humanoid civilization and warfare. Their scales begin yellow with stripes of green, but deepen and darken into a rustic bronze as they age. Their heads are defined by a fluted crest built upon a frill of backwards facing spines, like that of a ceratopsid. To help them swim, they have webbed fingers and
limbs, and they use their wings for a powerful breast-stroke. Bronze dragons dwell within secluded coastlines and lair in caverns beneath the waves.

Jokers, pranksters, and riddlers, copper dragons take little serious except protecting what is theirs. They are just as apt to capture an enemy as they are to fight it, and they enjoy company for as long as that company enjoys their humor. Their heads are framed by brow plates that grow back into long horns built from overlapping plates. Their scales are rich and coppery, growing tarnished and green with age. Copper dragons come from hilly and rocky highlands, bringing them into frequent conflict with red dragons, a conflict they prefer to avoid whenever possible.

Majestic and grand, gold dragons are virtuous enemies of evil. Their muzzles and jaws are lined with thick dangling whiskers, and their heads are framed with four horns that rise away like a sunburst. The scales upon their body are a rich gold, paler like 10 karat upon their belly and vibrant like 24 karat upon their face and back. Their wings are held up by singular arms and run along spines running the length of their body and tails like long fins. They dwell in secluded places of beauty, but also have a fondness for living disguised amongst humanoids.

Green Dragon
Cunning and treacherous, green dragons possess short tempers and often fight to gain power over others. Green dragons have scales of vivid green that match those of vegetation. Their faces are vaguely crocodilian, thin and narrow with a curved jawline. They possess a crest that runs from behind their eyes and runs down their spine, and spikes on the side of their head that run down the backs of their jaw. They have longer limbs than most, as well as a longer neck and tail, with a relatively smaller body. They dwell in the forests and marshes, preferring wetlands or wooded lakes.

The epitome of greed and vanity, red dragons are the terrible icons all think of when they hear “dragon”. Their scales start out a vibrant scarlet, like smoldering flame or fresh spilled blood. They have distinctive swept-back horns starting at their brow and a frill along their spines and jaws. Their beaked jaws possess a beard of spines and brutal exposed teeth. Their wings are large for their size, and their edges are darkened and pitted like burnt metal. Red dragons come from the mountains, and have a preference for high vantage points.

Friendly and social, silver dragons are cheerful and helpful of others. Their scales are smooth, locking so tight that they almost appear to be molded from a single piece of silver. Their mouths curl like laughing smiles, and their jaws are lined with beard-like spines. Their most striking feature is the tall spiny frill that runs along their head like a mohawk. Silver dragons prefer cloud-kissed mountain homes, fearing nothing from their bitter winds and chilling snow.

Bestial and feral, other dragons see white dragons as nothing more than draconic animals. They are vicious and cruel, cold and heartless. A white dragon’s scales glisten like fresh snow, as if covered in a sparkling sheen of frost. Their faces are avian, with jaws that open to frightening size. They have a solitary backwards facing horn that grows out the back of their head, sporting a frill connecting to the back of their short neck. White dragons come from the frozen wastes, and are at home burrowed into the frigid tundra and ice.
