Dragons are an ancient line of great winged reptiles, each scaled in a color that marks its kind and its temper. They grow throughout their long lives, from a hatchling no larger than a dog to a vast elder whose wingspan matches its body length. Every dragon is a glutton for treasure, raking coins and gems into a bed it rarely leaves except to hunt or patrol. Solitary by choice, they hold mortal works in contempt. In play, a dragon is an apex encounter and a region's living landmark: a hoard-guardian, a lair-boss, and a source of irreplaceable crafting materials worth a campaign's worth of risk.

Behavior

Hunts on the wing, then lands or hovers to fight with claws, bite, and lashing tail
Looses a deadly breath weapon, then closes, older dragons soften foes with magic first
Hoards wealth obsessively and patrols its territory to drive off intruders
Snatches smaller prey in its claws and carries it aloft to drop or devour
Lairs alone; mated pairs raise young only until they can fend for themselves

Abilities

Breath Weapon. Exhales a cone or line of elemental harm (acid, lightning, fire, frost, gas) keyed to its color, recharging after a few breaths.
Claw, Claw, Bite. A standard flurry of two raking claws and a long-necked bite that can strike to the front or sides.
Flight and Snatch. Powerful flyer; grown dragons grab victims in their claws and bear them away.
Innate Magic. Casts spells by thought without books, gaining more potent powers with age.
Fear Aura. The sheer presence of a large dragon can rout lesser creatures.
