Description

Dragons are powerful, reptilian creatures of high intelligence and ingenuity. The vast majority of dragons fall into one of two categories: chromatic or metallic (though other categories exist). Chromatic dragons (see below) are usually evil, while metallic dragons are generally good and strive to better society. Some dragons develop the ability to take on the form of a humanoid or other biped to better integrate themselves into a surrounding community. After hatching from large eggs, dragons mature through 12 age categories: wyrmling (CR 3—4), very young (CR 5—6), young (CR 7–8), juvenile (CR 9—10), young adult (CR 11—12), adult (CR 13—14), mature adult (CR 15—16), old (CR 17—18), very old (CR 19—20), ancient (CR 21—22), wyrm (CR 23—24), and great wyrm (CR 25).

Dragons in the Drakelands of Triaxus enjoy positions of rulership (often as CEOs) over the second-class humanoid citizens. Inveterate schemers, Triaxian dragons are always thinking ahead, and the risks involved in working for these dragons are matched only by the potential for lavish rewards.
