chromatic and metallic dragons
all dragons have the choice to choose which they'll be, good or evil, but usually, depending on their type, their choices are the same. there are two types of dragons: metallic and chromatic. as a common rule, metallic dragons are good, and chromatic dragons are evil. there are a few types of dragons that don't fall into one of these categories, but 95% do. here are the types that do:
metallic: brass, bronze copper, gold, and silver dragons.
chromatic: black, red, blue, green, and white dragons.
dragon script
dragons script is a simple, easy to learn alphabet. you have to remember, though, that when writing in dragon script, you also have to be writing in the language of dragons. its isn't written in a strange way, just line the letters up like you would your own language, with the same puctuation.
some basic dragon words
if you ever run into a dragon, odds are that they'll speak to you in english, but in some cases they either cant (very few dragons can't speak human), or wont. some dragons think that its only respectful for humans to adress dragons in dragon's tongue when they are greeting them. and some dragons do not wish to stoop to our level and use human language. whatever the case, with any dragon, it will leave a good impression if your greet them in their own tongue. that's why i've composed a small human/dragon translator.i hope it keeps your from getting eaten sometime.

dragons
dragons are one of the classic mythological creatures. they are graceful and magnificent, but many people mistake them for being lizard like, which is completely untrue. dragons live for hundreds of years, are huge beasts of raw power, and have immense intellect.
dragon's wings are much like the wings of a bat, with the skin stretched of a finger like bone structure.
then there's the dragon's tail. a dragon's tail is an extremely useful tool. they use it as a rudder while in flight, and as a propeller in the water. because of all the strenuous jobs the tail is used for, it becomes rock solid because of the muscle mass, making it an ideal weapon.
dragons have clawed feet with three to four toes facing forward, and one toe (much like a thumb) facing inward. thus, the dragon can use his foot like a hand. it can pick up and use weapons and other objects, like wands.
dragons' bodies are covered in an almost impenitrable armor of scales. the overlapping scales cover it's whole body. as the dragon grows and matures, he simply grows more to cover his new skin. at no point in it's life deos a dragon naturally shed scales or skin.
dragons' horns, like their tails, also have many uses. if the horns point back, they can be used for grooming pourpeses. rounded horns can be used for defense, and forward pointing horns may be used for offense.
dragons have rows of multiple razor sharp teeth. all dragons, including babys(or wyrms, which is the technical term) have two fangs on top of their mouth, and two on bottom. more teeth come with age. dragon's jaws are devastatingly powerful, and can snap trees in one mighty bite.
for dragons, it's easiest to take flight from a high place, such as a cliff, where they can leap off and start flying emeideitly. but if there isn't anyplace like that near, than they will leap into the air, slapping their talis on the ground and pushing off with their hind legs. once in flight, dragons can stay in the air for hours effortlessly.
dragons are natural at magic, and depending on the type of dragon, have many different breath weapons.also, depending on their type, dragons horde a large manner of different treasures in their lairs.
DRAGON SENSES:
sight: exceptional
scent: exceptional
hearing: average
taste: exceptional (dragons hate sweet flavors)
touch: pour (because of their layer of scales)
blindsense: amazing
