RED DRAGON
A RED DRAGON'S LAIR
The most covetous of the true dragons, red dragons
tirelessly seek to increase their treasure hoards. They
are exceptionally vain, even for dragons, and their
conceit is reflected in their proud bearing and their
disdain for other creatures.
The odor of sulfur and pumice surrounds a red
dragon, whose swept-back horns and spinal frill define
its silhouette. Its beaked snout vents smoke at all times,
and its eyes dance with flame when it is angry. Its wings
are the longest of any chromatic dragon, and have a
blue-black tint along the trailing edge that resembles
metal burned blue by fire.
The scales of a red dragon wyrmling are a bright
glossy scarlet, turning a dull, deeper red and becoming
as thick and strong as metal as the dragon ages. Its
pupils also fade as it ages, and the oldest red dragons
have eyes that resemble molten lava orbs.
Mountain Masters. Red dragons prefer mountainous
terrain, badlands, and any other locale where they can
perch high and survey their domain. Their preference
for mountains brings them into conflict with the hilldwelling copper dragons from time to time.
Arrogant Tyrants. Red dragons fly into destructive
rages and act on impulse when angered. They are so
ferocious and vengeful that they are regarded as the
archet'ypical evil dragon by many cultures.
No other dragon comes close to the arrogance of the
red dragon. These creatures see themselves as kings
and emperors, and view the rest of dragon kind as
inferior. Believing that they are chosen by Tiamat to rule
in her name, red dragons consider the world and every
creature in it as theirs to command.
Status and Slaves. Red dragons are fiercely territorial
and isolationist. However, they yearn to know about
events in the wider world, and they make use of lesser
creatures as informants, messengers, and spies. They
are most interested in news about other red dragons,
with which they compete constantly for status.
When it requires servants, a red dragon demands
fealty from chaotic evil humanoids. If allegiance isn't
forthcoming, it slaughters a tribe's leaders and claims
lordship over the survivors. Creatures serving a red
dragon live in constant terror of being roasted and eaten
for displeasing it. They spend most of their time fawning
over the creature in an attempt to stay alive.
Obsessive Collectors. Red dragons value wealth
above all else, and their treasure hoards are legendary.
They covet anything of monetary value, and can often
judge the worth of a bauble to within a copper piece at a
glance. A red dragon has a special affection for treasure
claimed from powerful enemies it has slain, exhibiting
that treasure to prove its superiority.
A red dragon knows the value and provenance of
every item in its hoard, along with each item's exact
location. It might notice the absence of a single coin,
igniting its rage as it tracks down and slays the thief
without mercy. If the thief can't be found, the dragon
goes on a rampage, laying waste to towns and villages in
an attempt to sate its wrath.
