Golden scales cover the body of this majestic dragon, and a regal crest of horns arches backward above wise and piercing eyes.

A proud, ancient race of gigantic, carnivorous, winged reptiles. There are many subspecies of dragon, many of which are distinguished by the colour of their scales. All dragons are egg-layers and hoard treasure in their lairs, far from areas of human civilisation.

Sinuous dragons of oriental myth that epitomize law and goodness

Often shaped like the sinuous dragons of oriental myth, gold dragons epitomize law and goodness, and are typically just and kindly. They are interested in the ways of man and often use shape-changing powers to watch, observe and help people. They prefer to have their lairs in places isolated from prying eyes, however, and thus often place their entrances in lakes or ponds. They have found that their treasure hordes are tempting targets for evil or even neutral adventurers.
