Fire (dragon)

Fire dragons are larger dragons, usually colored in reds and yellows with some brown in the horns and ridge area. Elder versions called fire drakes, like Smaug, had deeper red and gold coloring as their scales aged and grew stronger.

Fire dragons are powerful fighters, strong fliers, but ponderous because of their bulk.

There were supposedly some fire drakes still alive at the beginning of the War of the Ring, but what has become of them now is unknown.

Abilities
Bite - The bite of a Fire dragon is almost certain death for all but another dragon. The teeth are made of a tungsten allow which allows them to be heated to almost the surface temperature of the sun by the smoldering breath. These heated spears slice through nearly everything as if it were paper. The only drawback is that the Fire dragon tends to be slow, so they do not bite often. Then again, they usually only need to bite once anyway.

Claw - The claws of the fire dragon are typical of a dragon, sharp and powerful, but a Fire dragon has no special abilities with its claws other than to cling to surfaces or targets.

Fire Breath - The breath of a fire dragon is enough to kindle a dwarven forge and is as hot as the surface of the sun. It is a chemical reaction rather than magical so it cannot be used but every other round as the dragon waits for the secretions to fill up the bladder that fuels the flame.

Tail Strike - The tail of a younger fire dragon such as the non-aligned is long and thin at the end. It can be used to trip smaller foe while on the ground, but it is mainly used for steering while in the air, not for combat.

Burning Scales - Fire dragons are naturally hot to the touch from both their inner fire and the environment they typically inhabit. Lesser creatures take heat damage touching the scales of a Fire dragon, but other dragons do not.
