Red dragon

Red dragons are the largest and most powerful subspecies of chromatic true dragons . [1] [5] [6] [8] [2] [9] They prefer to lair in caverns in mountains or hills, especially areas with volcanic or geothermal activity. [6]

Description

Red dragon anatomy - Ron Spencer

Red dragons are physically distinguished by their enormous size and wingspan, [8] [2] which is the widest of all dragons, [8] [2] [6] both in absolute size and relative to body length. [8] [2] The outermost alar phalange is extremely long and makes the wing appear to taper, while the trailing edge is the longest section. The trailing edge joins the body behind the rear legs and partway along the tail. [8]

And of course they are recognized by their scarlet and crimson scaled hides. A wyrmling has small, bright, and glossy scarlet scales (becoming pink on its belly [10] ), which turns dull and a deeper red by the time they are young dragons. In older dragons, the scales grow thicker and larger, and as tough as metal. In contrast to their red hide, their wings and neck frills turn a purple-gray, ash-blue, or blue-black toward the edges, similar to metal scorched in a fire, which darkens as they age. The pupils of their eyes fade with age, such that especially old red dragons have eyes that seem to be orbs of molten lava. [1] [8] [6]

A red dragon has two large horns upon their head, which point backward toward their wings. [8] [1] [8] [6] These horns, which are big enough to be noticeable from below, can be either straight or twisted and any color from white as bone to black as night. [8] They have smaller horns on their chin, cheeks, lower jaw, and in rows over their brow, as well as on their beak-like snout. They also have frills around their ears that often combine with their cheek horns as they get older and a backward-sweeping frill running down their necks and spine, from just behind the head to the end of the tail. [1] [8] [6] The frills around the dragon's internal ears assist its hearing, by collecting sounds and ascertaining directions. [2] A red wyrmling has the two main horns, but the others are only stubs. [10]

They smell of smoke, sulfur, and pumice. [1] [8] [2] [6] Their bodies are so warm that the air around them occasionally shimmers as in a heat mirage [2] while their blood is, when outside its body, hot enough to produce steam. [11] Smoke blows from their nostrils constantly. [6] When a red dragon is enraged, flames flicker in its eyes and nostrils. [8] [6]

The vanity of red dragons is often revealed in their prideful postures and the looks of disdain with which they regard all others. [1] [8] [6]

A hatchling has a 3‑foot-long (0.91‑meter) body and 3‑foot-long (0.91‑meter) tail, [8] while an adult has a body length of around 12 feet (3.7 meters) [2] to 18 feet (5.5 meters) [8] and a tail length of around 17 feet (5.2 meters) [2] to 21 feet (6.4 meters). [8] The biggest great wyrms grow to 35 feet (11 meters) [8] or 36 feet (11 meters) long in the body, [2] with tails 26 feet (7.9 meters) [2] or even 50 feet (15 meters) long. [8]

Personality

157997 IconicPartyRedDragon DarenBader

Out of all dragon kind, reds are the most avaricious and are constantly looking to expand their hoards with treasure, no matter whose it already is, [1] [8] [2] [6] and they are the most obsessive collectors. [8] They value material wealth more than anything else—if it is worth something, they want it. [8] [6] They adore gold more than any other precious metal, loving its look and sound, and gather gold coins and treasures to make up much of their hoard. They also collect gems of red and fiery hues, like rubies and fire opals. They do prefer things made of metal or stone that will withstand the heat of their lairs and flame and last through the ages; flammable goods of cloth, leather, or paper are less desirable. [12] Other than that, they are so greedy they generally don't care what they collect, and while individual red dragons can have certain preferences, there are no common trends across the species. [2] They accumulate amazing hoards and show them off in pride as a show of their own superiority, with a particular love for anything taken from a slain rival. [6] [12] They know the value, origin, and precise location of every piece of treasure in their hoards, and remember well how and when they'd claimed it. [8] [6] [12] Losing even one coin or tiny trinket can cause a red dragon to fly into a rage and hunt down and mercilessly destroy the supposed thief. If they cannot, then they will rampage across the land, slaughtering all they encounter and devastating local settlements where a thief might hide before they can calm down. [8] [6]

Red dragons are known for their swift and fiery tempers—if angered, they will explode into a destructive rage and become even more impulsive and vengeful. [6] They never forgive even the most minor offense, theft, or infraction, and will kill the offender or, if they are unavailable, instead raise havoc to inflict their outrage on everyone else. They will kill even on a whim. [2] Such rages are in part due to their fragile pride and feeling that any loss, insult, or defeat means a loss of status if not addressed—causing chaos and destruction assuages wounded pride and mitigates lost status. [8] Their rage can only be quelled with blood and death or great tributes of riches. [2]

They are incredibly vain, even by dragon standards, [1] [8] [6] and are supremely arrogant. They think themselves chosen by Tiamat herself to reign in her stead, with all the world their dominion and all the beings in it their subjects, while all other breeds of dragon are inferior. [6] Red dragons believe they are the pinnacle of draconic nature and all other dragon species are impure. They value vengefulness, rapaciousness, avarice, and ferocity above other traits and recognize these traits in themselves with pride. Thus, maintaining their status among their fellow red dragons is their main focus. [8]

They are solitary creatures and care little for news of other types of dragons, though they do look for news of other red dragons in their area [8] [2] [6] and of affairs in the world in general. They use other creatures as messengers, informants, and spies to bring them information, paying particular interest in the deeds of fellow red dragons, with whom they always compete for status. [8] [2] [6]

Red dragons believe that if a being is not strong enough to protect what it has, then it does not deserve to keep it. They despise weakness among their own kind. If one ever finds out that another of their kind has shown any signs of fragility, then local red dragons will descend on the lair, stripping it clean and usually killing the owner. [8]

Reds are also highly territorial. [8] [6] They are constantly on the lookout for intruders in their territory, and especially other dragons encroaching on it, [8] which is cause for death. [2] Entering an area a red considers its domain is just asking to be attacked. [8] A few like to set themselves up as rulers of communities within their territory, enjoying the feeling of power, but they reign as tyrants, demanding obedience and using threats to gain it, and killing or destroying those that do not comply. [2] [13] In their view, humanoids are a renewable resource. Communities in or around a red dragon's territory can appease it with tributes and sacrifices. [2] Some even require worship, but others prefer more covert means of control, wherein they are the secret puppet-masters pulling the strings in a network. [13]

Of course, as the dragons of Eberron maintain individual codes of morality and ethics, [14] and therefore run the gamut of moralities and behaviors, it is not impossible to find a red dragon who is good, noble, and heroic, while a good red dragon is as common as an evil gold dragon. [15] [16] The above information represents the common dragon. [note 1]

Abilities

Red dragon wingspan 4e

Red dragons expel an extremely devastating cone of fire . [1] [5] [6] For an adult, this blast can be 50 feet (15 meters) [17] or 60 feet (18 meters) in length and breadth. [6] Its raw elemental fire can burn flesh and heat metal and, for ancient red dragons, can even overwhelm magical protections against fire. [5]

They are naturally resistant [5] or even completely immune to fire, [1] [6] but vulnerable to cold. [1]

Like any dragon, and in addition to the common powers of chromatic dragons, red dragons gain an array of magical powers as they age, though accounts of these vary. [1] In one version, a juvenile can cast locate object once a day or more often as they get older, while an old red dragon can use suggestion , an ancient one can use find the path , and a great wyrm can discern location . [1]

Similarly, red dragons can learn and cast new spells of their own, similar to a sorcerer . [1] [13]

They are skilled in appraisal, deception, and jumping, because, although they fly quickly, they are not very maneuverable. [1] [8] They can accurately estimate the value of any treasure or trinket, down to the last copper piece. [8] [6] They also have good hearing. [2]

Combat

Highly confident combatants, a red dragon will, on sighting a potential foe, decide in an instant whether to attack. They rarely stop to size up a foe or make a plan, instead relying on a general strategy they'd figured out earlier, often over years and covering every imaginable situation, and picking it on the fly. [1] [8] [2] Usually, though, they just fly into their foes and blast them with fire, then use their claws on whoever is left. [5] If attacking small, vulnerable creatures, they prefer to land and slay them with claw and fang, rather than use their flame and risk destroying whatever valuables they might have, but not if it meant defeat or death. [1] [8] [2] Like any dragon, they can fight with their claws, teeth, wings, tail, and just sheer weight. [1] [5] [6] They love this chance to show off their strength, but aren't shy to use their fire breath either. [2]

Though they fight just as well in the air as on the ground, [2] a red dragon is not agile in flight, so they usually elect to land and fight on the ground when appropriate, where they show remarkable mobility and grasp of tactics. They will jump from point to point or fly short distances to seize an advantageous location from which to cast their magic or breathe fire. [8]

Despite its ferociousness and unwillingness to retreat or compromise, a red dragon is not mindless nor suicidally reckless. It has enough of a sense of self-preservation to know when not to attack or to break off combat against a superior opponent, albeit reluctantly and if it can retain its pride and status in doing so; retreating hurt their pride most of all. [8] [2] Nevertheless, after first blood has been drawn, they are much less likely to retreat, even if it is an option. Their overwhelming pride leads more red dragons to fight to the death than any other chromatic dragons. [2] In particular, the fearless and bloodthirsty red wyrmlings lack the sense to flee and have no clever tactics to back them up, so they usually fight and win or die trying. [10]

A red dragon will not always kill a defeated enemy. They will regularly let some survivors escape to tell of its victory and thereby bolster its status. With an obviously weaker opponent, they might intimidate or trick them into providing information or performing some deed. The only requirement is that the red dragon gets what it wants, and if not, the enemy should die. [8]

Society

Activities

Their red scales give them little camouflage or chance of them being overlooked. [2] Young red dragons, especially wyrmlings, are easy prey for predators and hunters because of their bright, glossy, scarlet scales, so they tend to stay underground during the day and come out only at night until they feel they can defend themselves properly. [1] [8] Otherwise, they give little thought to caution or self-preservation and target anything they think they can eat. [10] Hence, they have difficult, dangerous lives. However, when they are older and not as brightly hued, and especially bigger and more powerful, they are much more confident. [8] They prefer to be conspicuous, and have no wish to hide from lesser beings. [2]

They spend their spare time concocting tactics for use in future battles, developing a wide variety of them. They are master strategists as a result. [2] They also make schemes to achieve greater power, acquire more treasure, and defeat enemies. [18]

Diet

RedDragon5e-DMscreen

They are carnivorous by choice, with a particular taste for young humans and elves , especially young women, an appetite for which they are notorious. [1] [8] They insist that it just tastes better. [8] It is not unknown for a red dragon to intimidate or charm the people of a local village into periodically sacrificing their young folk to them [1] [8] or else to kidnap young humanoids for later consumption. Otherwise, they make do with other humanoids, animals, and other dragons, again with a predilection for younger, tender flesh. [2] Yet they prefer meat charred by flame, both liking the taste and finding it easier to digest. [19]

Despite this, similar to most other dragons, red dragons can consume and live on just about anything, including vegetation and minerals. They just don't want to, more than any other carnivorous dragon, so much so that a few will rather starve almost to death than eat anything other than meat. [2]

Lairs

Red dragons typically dwell in warm mountainous regions, hills, desert mesas, and badlands, [1] [8] [5] [2] [6] [20] though these are not necessities. The main factors in them choosing a place to live are primarily a high elevation and secondarily a high temperature; while cold does not especially hamper them, they do not like it, but will put up with it for the sake of elevation. [2] Many prefer to dwell within volcanoes—even within the caldera itself—or sulfurous geysers or other areas of geothermal activity, where the intense heat and dangerous gases keep others at bay and comfort a sleeping dragon. [8] [5] [2] [6] [20] However, they can make their lairs almost anywhere, from ice-capped mountains to hills to deserted dwarf mines and holds. [2] [6]

They particularly love to make their lairs in large caverns or cave systems that reach deep underground and receive geothermal activity. These places are warm with the heat of their bodies and smell of smoke and sulfur. Despite this, almost all red dragons require a high perch somewhere close by from which they can look over their domain—the higher the better, as they believe that their domain encompasses all that they can see. [1] [8] [5] [2] [6] [20] They are just as likely to be found up here as they are in their lairs. [6] Otherwise, for security, they prefer to sleep and store their treasure deep underground, below masses of stone. [2]

Red dragons that dwell within dungeons or the like will make their lairs in heated or fire-filled locations. In lieu of a high place with a panoramic view of the area, they keep watch in large open spaces or down long corridors, wherever they can get a wide view. [8]

As it is rare for a natural cave system to have all the features a red dragon desires, they will claim spaces already excavated or constructed by others where possible, or else enslave other creatures to build or modify them. Hence, they will seize such places as dwarf holds. [2] Furthermore, a red dragon orders its minions to attend them as servants, keep the lair clean, keep watch for trespassers, [20] and build monuments to it and place these around its lair. These praise the dragon's power and tell of its life, deeds, and victories. [6]

While within its volcanic lair, to defend itself and its hoard, a legendary red dragon can cause earth tremors, clouds of toxic gases, and geysers of magma [6] or even clouds of noxious smoke or areas of intense heat. [12] The lair of a legendary red dragon can alter the land around it, causing minor earthquakes up to 6 miles (9.7 kilometers) away, heating and tainting water sources within 1 mile (1.6 kilometers), and even opening portals to Fernia , the Sea of Fire, within rocky fissures, through which beings of elemental fire can cross over. [6] [21] They can also cause droughts and desertification up to 6 miles (9,700 meters) away or cause all open flames in that range to turn dark red and to constantly hiss, crackle, and spark in any circumstance. Alternatively, the dragon might use any open flame up to 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) away to listen through to a range of 30 feet (9.1 meters). [12] (Such effects fade within a tenday if the dragon is slain. [6] )

Lands

Io'lokar City of Knowledge

Red dragons dwell on the continent of Argonnessen , as do all the other breeds of dragon. Within Argonnessen dragon society, red dragons sit high in their hierarchy, with a red dragon always outranking a white dragon of similar age. [3] While officially each type of dragon is equal in the ruling Conclave , in practice, the red dragons, as well as the gold , silver, and bronze dragons , wielded significant influence thanks to their power and charisma. [22] Red dragons may be encountered at the Vale of the Fallen Rajah . [23]

Religion

They are the dragons most likely to venerate Asmodeus , owing to their tyrannical impulses. [24]

Reproduction

Red dragon courtship is a risky matter, as the majority of potential suitors are still considered also as dangerous rivals. Females conduct much of the courting, though it is not unknown for males to try as well, and it typically saw the younger, though still high-status, dragon carefully approaching the elder dragon. Rarely do two red dragons fight over a potential mate; such a battle will inevitably be deadly, and when a superior suitor presses their case, all but the most unwise lesser will give up. [8]

After mating, the elder then left the younger to protect the eggs, but rarely two parents of the same age will tend their young together. [8] An typical red dragon female produced four eggs [2] with an incubation time of 660 days or 22 months, and they are laid after approximately 165 days or 5.5 months. All are viable if laid under ideal conditions, [25] [2] namely deep underground and close to a natural heat source, for example, in a volcano's empty lava tubes. [10] It should be kept within an open flame or at a temperature of no less than 140 (60 ) [25] but it can even be immersed in a pool of lava. [26]

However, once hatched, even the wyrmlings are left to take care of themselves. [8] Often, within the first few months, they will fight and kill one another until only one remains; otherwise, they will remain cooperative until they come of age. They remain close to the hatchery for a few years before spreading out to find more food and their own lairs. [10] Hence, a full surviving clutch typically includes two to five offspring from several matings, ranging in age from wyrmlings to young adults. [1]

Aging

Under the categories of dragon aging , the offspring are counted as wyrmlings for the first 8 years and as young dragons for up to 200 years. [2]

A red dragon becomes an elder at 950 years and an ancient dragon at 1,900 years. The oldest known red dragon lived to about 2,500 years. [2]

Death

When a slain red dragon undergoes environment diffusion—an uncommon occurrence by which a deceased dragon's body decays and affects the local environment [27] —there are two possibilities according to the landscape. In a mountainous or stony landscape, the ground splits open where it died, creating one or several small volcanic vents that spew acrid smoke or else large sulfurous geysers. Otherwise, in less rocky or more fire-prone lands, a wildfire starts, one that never spreads beyond the site but also which never goes out, no matter the weather or lack of fuel. [2]

Relationships

Red dragons and silver dragons occasionally came into conflict over territory, with the red's high perch often crossing into a silver's domain. [1] [8] [28] [29] Fights between them are often vicious and lethal, but silvers work together and even enlist human allies, so they generally get the advantage over the reds, which they naturally resented. [28] [29]

As copper dragons regularly dwell in hills that will be within view of a red dragon's perch, they commonly also come into conflict, [6] [8] [30] though the smaller copper dragons rarely win out against the more powerful red dragons in open battle. [8] The coppers normally flee until they can find a way of improving their chances, [30] like luring them into narrow winding canyons and caves where they can climb walls and outmaneuver a red dragon. Of course, coppers view reds as challenges to be irritated and embarrassed as much as possible without getting killed. [31]

White dragons , meanwhile, are seen as unworthy of even a red dragon's rivalry, and whites sensibly stay out of the more powerful reds' paths. Occasionally, they come into conflict, but a red dragon is often happy to let a white dragon neighbor live nearby, provided they stay out of the way and out of sight. [29]

If not as food, all lesser creatures are treated as nothing more than potential servants or tools for a red dragon to use, and only while they are useful and effective. [13] A red dragon in need of minions will typically find some local chaotic evil humanoids and demand they pledge their service, and if they need encouragement, kill off their leaders. Those who do survive and serve a red dragon must be constantly obsequious to it [6] and are fearful of displeasing their master or even delivering bad news lest they be roasted and devoured. [6] [8] While some serve willingly, others will flee given the chance. [20] The red dragon displays a patronizing manner to these minions, who serve it as agents, spies, and emissaries. [6]

Usage

As with other dragons, a suit of armor crafted from red dragonhide will of course be resistant to flame, protecting itself but not necessarily the wearer. [32] Only proper dragoncraft armor, a shield, or mantle will also confer some of its resistance on the wearer. [33]

The great horn Ghaal'duur , an artifact of the Dhakaani Empire , was crafted from a red dragon's horn. [34]

History

Katashka versus Dularanahk

During the Age of Demons , the powerful red dragon Dularanahk battled the Overlord known as Katashka the Gatekeeper . [35]

When House Vol of Aerenal was found to have mixed the blood of elves and dragons, leading house matriarch Minara Vol and the green dragon known as the Emerald Claw to produce Erandis Vol , a half-dragon with the Mark of Death , dragons and elves united to wipe out the line of Vol, some 2,600 years ago. A powerful red dragon named Avothirax arrived at the home of House Vol at the head of an army of a thousand elf warriors to annihilate the Vol bloodline and with it the Mark of Death. [36]

Significance

In the Sovereign Host pantheon, Dol Arrah is sometimes depicted as a red dragon perched on a cloud. [37] [38] Her symbol may also be a red dragon. [39] In the Dark Six pantheon, the Mockery is sometimes depicted as a fiendish red dragon. [40]

The Bringers of Fire , a Seren tribe of Seren Island off the coast of Argonnessen, have a red dragon patron. The don red warpaint, make use of flaming oil, and are known for their hot tempers and willingness to eradicate tribes they deem unworthy. [41] [42]

Notable Red Dragons

  • Memory of the Prophecy , previously Iluvira, the ghost of a dragon known for its wisdom. [43]
  • Gornath the Madworm, a rogue dragon who rampages across Sarlona in pursuit of psionic power. [44]
  • Q'anhyrde , a former Chamber agent gone rogue in Khorvaire . [45]
  • Vrakor Cinderheart , an exile in Xen'drik affiliated with the Talons of Tiamat . [46]
  • Draj , a red dragon transformed into a white dragon by the shifting landscape of Xen'drik . [46]

Appendix

Notes

  1. While dragons of Eberron may be of any alignment and character, more so than in other D&D settings, it is assumed here that the 'typical' red dragon is much like that described in core D&D sources for the sake of completion. It is clear that traditional tyrannical red dragons of chaotic evil alignment do exist in Eberron, such as the one followed by the Bringers of Fire Seren tribe and as evidenced by their presence at the Overlord -tainted Vale of the Fallen Rajah. Moreover, it should be noted that good red dragons and evil gold dragons being stated to be equally common allows them to equally rare.
