Protodragon, Metallic

“If you ever need sage advice, a warm fire, and a disapproving glance, your metallic friend is already waiting.”

  The metallic protodragon carries itself with an air of calm nobility and surprising mischief. Possessing bronze, copper, silver, gold, or brass scales that shimmer like the dawn, these companions pride themselves on being “above” their more impulsive kin. That doesn’t stop them from stealing shiny things or delivering withering sarcasm when bored.   They often see themselves as mentors to their bonded companion — or at least as the more reasonable voice in the party. They love solving puzzles, enjoy music of all kinds, and have a penchant for “civilizing” wild allies through etiquette lessons and grooming rituals (whether requested or not).   Kindhearted and brave, a metallic protodragon will fly into battle with valor and purpose — but only after checking to ensure no one has spilled tea on their scroll case.
