Whenever the papers and books and websites start becoming audible, I always like to imagine we're sitting right there with this inconceivably well-traveled and suspiciously well-informed sage/scholar who likely is reading from his own field notes and primary sources that no one dares ask about.
I really like the idea of getting a Tungsten dragon on your good side to rid an evil temple from a countryside, and have it eventually spiral into a plot that gets you in discussions with Iron dragons to siege a red dragon fortress in the late game.
I had a kobold cleric worshiped Gruaghlothor the lord of all Iron Dragons. Best way I can describe Gruaghlothor is as the dragon god of dragon slaying because he goes out of his way to kill chromatic dragons, he's whoever is the strongest iron dragon at the time and it's unknown if Gruaghlothor is sentient god or some force that the chosen dragon can use as they please.
Gold, Silver, Copper, Cobalt, Iron, Mercury, you could invent a dragon for every metallic element on the periodic table. Suggestions Potassium Dragon: Explodes when exposed to water Plutonium Dragon: Radioactive Breath Weapon and Blows itself up in a nuclear explosion when it reaches 0 hp Americium Dragon: Releases an ear piercing sound breath weapon in the presence of smoke If you got the last one, you might be a chemistry nerd :)
Bizmuth dragons, melts and reshapes its own scales into cubic armour, heals by flame and looks almost gemlike at times. breath weapon clings to and slows all within it (fire damage base).
I can't stop saying "GRAG-LOTH-OR" like I'm trying to clear my throat lmao Like some cartoon arch mage trying to conjure it in a very nasaly voice. "Now I will summon GTHTHRHRHRHRH(insert choking sounds)"
I wonder if the "Metallic Dragons" are just one of two types of metallic Dragons. Ferrous dragons the most common and instruments running draconic society and Noble Dragons the ones we all know and love. Perhaps Graulanthor and Xymor are brothers farfetched but possible.
I highly anticipate the remake of this video where maybe the Steel Dragon makes it in as it seems at home here Iron Dragon: @5:01 Tungsten Dragon: @11:50 Cobalt Dragon: @16:53 Nickel Dragon: @21:07 Chromium Dragon: @25:29
I'd had an idea a few hours ago for an NPC in a homebrew setting, involving a cobalt dragonborn, which would definitely catch everyone by surprise. I had to come back to this video to get some relevant information.
🤨🤔 Legends say that the first Steel Dragons were forged in the ancient Dragon Wars, when a colossal sized Ancient Red Dragon pinned down a rival Iron Dragon in a diamond pit mine by dragging it down from the air and slamming the Iron deep into the mine, and than engulfed its hapless prey in its intense fire breath. Thus forging the first Steel Dragon. Whom immediately slew the Red Dragon.
5:03 I was doing reading on this at the same time I was listening. Arn't Mythril Dragons Ferrous dragons, and arn't they way stronger than iron? Or am I getting something mixed up or bad info?
@@AJPickett I thought the Ferrous dragons were metal dragons as their core identity Im reading through the info again and I don't get what separates some of the metal dragons from others.
I love these vids that just make me want to dig into my old issues of Dragon. Do you have the issue on the Plane of Radiance? It was always my favorite balance for the Plane of Shadow. Sadly abandoned by the publishers it would seem.
It would seem Tungsten dragons are like Bronze dragons, in not much for liking humanoid societies but called good. Also it is interesting that Steel dragons are not part of the Ferrous dragons as supposedly Steels are not native to the forgotten realms either.
How do you think being covered in glass from the breath attack from a tungsten dragon would work mechanically (in 5e specifically)? I'd imagine that it would slow you down significantly, something like halving your speed, and/or it limiting the movements you can do with your limbs, giving you disadvantage on weapon and ranged weapon attacks. I could also see it knocking currently flying creatures (who can't hover) out of the air and reducing their flying speed to 0, much like an Earthbind spell, as the increased weight of the sand would completely ruin the ability to have their wings support their bodies. After the battle is resolved, the creature who is covered in the glass would need to spend ~10 minutes or an hour chipping the glass off to free up their movements again.
Question: would an Iron dragon view a sorcerer/ess of draconic (especially chromatic, and especially red) heritage more as just another pesky mortal barely above note, if of note to begin with, or a "symptom" of their enemies, worthy of active annihilation? Would this be an almost universal viewpoint, or would it vary depending on some variable or other?
I think that the latter would be far more common, Dragons can't help but see Humanoids as weaker "prey" species, it is instinctual, they are apex predators and also quite capable of dominating worlds, even good aligned dragons may see Humanoid dominance as merely a transitory period in history, and individuals? Well, wizards sometimes live almost as long as they do, but otherwise, no, we come and go like stray cats, some make good pets, some seem to think they own you, but yeah, feral cat in the chicken coop? Bad idea kitty!
First I'd like to say: I really hope this is visible and RUclips doesn't ghost me, thinking it's spam. ..Now that that's out of the way, I'm not used to getting responses so quickly on videos over a month old.. For both that level of attentiveness, and the incredibly interesting lore videos; subbed.
if a copper and zinc dragon have a child, will it become a brass dragon? what about copper and tin? are there any tin dragons? Are there any arsenic dragons? how about aluminium dragons? potassuim dragons? Titanium? magnesium? lead? Osmium??? carbon(coal)? silicon(quartz)? Uranium? Uranium, that has to be a thing. a self destructructive dragon.
Aluminum dragons would be cool. A metal that is rarer than gold (until recently) would be really fun. And the properties such as the super protective oxidation "skin" and it's strange interactions with other metals.
Tending Cactus groves? Well. I'm quite fond of putting pulque into my more desert themed adventures (a milky alcohol made from agave). Looks like "The Tungsten Dragon," is going into my list of pulqueria names. X3.
Iron dragons routinely kick Red Dragon ass, this is why Reds tend to team up on the Iron dragons if they can, and yes, the breath weapon is not very effective, it can occasionally be used more creatively, such as burning all the oxygen out of an enclosed space to tire the Iron Dragon, as the larger dragon requires more air to breathe. Also the breath weapon can vaporize supports to bring structures crashing down onto the other dragon, and so forth.
I have it ready to be used! after investigating a ruin the party identified signs of a Tungsten dragon attack dating back over 150 years. then they find a tungsten mine with undead dwarven miners/warriors.. and eventually- the ghost dragon! totally invisible (save a psionic detect thoughts from our hexblade when this happens- theyve seen ghosts with it before) wielding the ethereal copy of a magic sword long taken from it by the one who killed it--- a thief whom went on to become a king
I had to ban the terms *Good* and *Evil* from my campaigns, because everything is relative. People never really consider themselves evil, but always "just", the problem is how their "justice" affect others, therefore using *"Egotistical"* and *"Altruist"* instead helps a bit
I see what you mean but in D&D the alignments are each cosmic forces. You can think your the good guy then, assuming you have no god to nab you, you die and appear as a maggot in one of the three evil planes that fit your specific blend of evil, lawful neutral or chaotic. So your alignment is relative to the forces of the universe
Agreed. Some things are objectively good or evil. Some are not. It is equally pompous to declare that there is no Objective truth especially if the gods exist.
It seems like it'd be difficult for a full sized dragon to torture a medium sized creature. They're so huge and powerful anything they'd do to you would just kill you...
They could use their breath weapon at a lower level, just doing 5 or 10 damage at a shot, and do that all day, wear the PC's down. Or have a slave race do it, some type never seen before, a version of lamprey that attaches to a dragon like a real lamprey does with a shark.
Did I go over the top with my short summary of my Titanium Dragons related to this video? Sorry. I just thought you'd like a bit of sage insight into one of my creations, and I am usually too lit while online to know how to wrap things up into an email to you. This is one of my late 90s creations. I'm going off of memory and I can recall most only because I used an existing canon template and it would fall under a metallic dragon not based upon a "precious metal"... albeit based upon a metal replaced by fantasy metals like mithril and adamant.
Really useful info. Thank you for sharing. Might I say that with even a tiny bit if editing your stuff would be a lot better. I ended up turning this one off at 'please wait while I dig through papers' Probably could've cut that out before upload.
This is WAY different from my "ferrous" dragon homebrew, most of mine fall into my protodragon class (extinct and early form dragons). A bit more creative. I think my protodragons and these can coexist, with mine still being far earlier versions of them. I have a Titanium Dragon that pretty much just exists in deep space, I think you might classify it as a "ferrous dragon". Because they are covered in interlocking plates as their scales with seeming to have no bending flesh at all and seem almost impervious to "typical" dragonslayer attacks, they are sometimes (by those who are aware of them) mistaken for dragonlike mechanical constructs. When exposed to any kind of energy they can absorb, they can eat literally any matter. Otherwise, they must eat organic matter and (if they want to heal right) the rare titanium element... something exceptionally rare because most planets have mythril (if that's how you spell it) and adamant in places titanium would be. So they tend to either live in volcanic places or areas radiating exceptionally high elemental/magical energy. For base stats, consider them Red Dragons of True Neutral (Cg) alignment. When met, they are generally amicable unless found sleeping, then they quickly waken (at only a loss of initiative) and attack immediately. Their "wings" are 4 longer, slender fore-limbs that are on their back. They "fly" by having those limbs grab space-time itself (in Loom, they grab the "strands"). So their flight/swim speed is the same as their normal movement, albeit considered class A. Most normal matter is very soft to them, so they can tunnel through just about all ground at near their normal movement rate. Their main damaging breath weapon is a cone of super-hard super-sharp superfast super-hot tiny projectiles, with 1d4+2 being the basic damage die replacing their Red Dragon stat equivalent. For every size category a target is below M, the damage dice is halved (round up). For every size category a target is above M, the damage dice is doubled (2d4+4, 4d4+8, etc.). That reflects how many of the projectiles assail the target. This absolutely shreds a Stoneskin spell cast by any level magic user. If the target fails his save vs. breath weapon, everything on him must make an appropriate save as well. Weapons are usually fine, but most must save or be destroyed. Armor isn't destroyed, it loses 1d2 AC protection until repaired (or healed in the case of natural armor). That affects even fellow dragons too. Their innate natural AC is also +8 with +1 better per age category (so it's an incredible +20 at Great Wyrm) relative to Red Dragons. Add that to the weapon shatter potential when attacked in melee, akin to Stone Dragons. Also, Titanium Dragons can ignore 1pt of damage per attack (0 being lowest adjusted amount per attack) per age category. Titanium Dragons only even need to breathe when the area is totally devoid of all energy, elemental radiation, and-or magic. With every melee strike a Titanium Dragon does, any natural d20 roll that's an even number is treated as a nonmagical Vorpal Weapon strike, while any odd number is treated as a nonmagical Sword of Sharpness strike. They can also ignore the first 10 AC of any armor due to its hardness in melee, their natural weapons are absurdly sharp. They are born able to talk, speaking their own tongue, that of metallic dragons, the dragon form of common, and the languages of the 3 most common intelligent species in the solar system on top of having a 40% chance +5% chance per age category of being able to talk with any sapient species they come across. Their secondary breath weapon is a blast of destructive magical force, same as the base Red Dragon damage of equal category. They have a whole list of immunities/resistances, any kind of heat/electricity/raw magic able to affect them actually heals them, and mental contact with them really hurts the one doing so... mentally hit as if exiled by a Maze spell or at the very list hit by an effect mirroring the Confusion spell. My high-level veteran gamers charged into battle against one of these "meh, just another dragon" just ONCE. Not star-faring super-deadly... but really hard to kill on top of being extremely intelligent.
Not sure how chapters even got added to this video actually. They do live in cold conditions and can be called Ice Dragons if memory serves, but yeah, sorry, not sure how the chapter labels are picked.
i've got to say i never get tired of learning about the different species of dragons, although i have to wonder are there other dragons such as groglathor? who have by some mixture of magic or experience obtained powers on his level? perhaps somewhere you have a dragon like swamp thing, so long as it dies somewhere on ground with life on it , it will respawn anywhere on the planet where plant life flourishes
Well actually My DM told me that The heat damage is different from fire damage, so in that case, The iron dragon is not inmune and not Even resistent to The fire breath of The red dragon, so in a battle between The two, The red dragon would win
Wrong. Dragon turtles have a steam/boiling water attack that is classified as fire damage because it is a type of heat damage. All heat damage IS fire damage, not all FIRE damage is heat damage. Unless you are doing an older edition or special homebrew, you and your dm have it backwards. The heat metal spell also does fire damage even though it is heat, scorching ray is a heat beam that deals fire damage, and some radiant abilities or spells have similarities (but not all). Hope this helps. All tomatoes are fruit, not all fruit are tomatoes. Apples are sweet, but not all fruit is sweet (lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, etc.).
Also, if a red breathed fire at you, & you are behind cover like a stalagmite or a tower shield you’ll take half or quarter fire damage because of the heat. The fire itself is not the threat, but the heat from a fire blast is.
how exactly do chrome dragons dominate whites? and a polymorphing chrome dragon torturer gets me thinking... so iron dragons qre equivalent to reds & silvers? (loving these videos anyways.)
I posted that late last night for me. Reading it again it was obviously a joke. Teaches me to think too deeply at night. Still, thank you for the reply! Love the videos.
Whenever the papers and books and websites start becoming audible, I always like to imagine we're sitting right there with this inconceivably well-traveled and suspiciously well-informed sage/scholar who likely is reading from his own field notes and primary sources that no one dares ask about.
Yeesss its like hearing About the Monster out of a person with 1st person experience
"He is very fond of Red Dragon flesh." That is so metal
Ironically the iron dragons despite BEING irony, and sensing anything with irony… they fail to grasp the concept
I really like the idea of getting a Tungsten dragon on your good side to rid an evil temple from a countryside, and have it eventually spiral into a plot that gets you in discussions with Iron dragons to siege a red dragon fortress in the late game.
I'd also add a "Your weapon flies out of your hand" effect too the Cobalt.

If I feed an iron dragon enough carbon, will it turn into a steel dragon?

If the iron dragon is immune to heat, does a red's breath weapon have no effect? And were does its strength rank up to in terms of the reds?
Iron dragons routinely kick Red Dragon ass, this is why Reds tend to team up on the Iron dragons if they can, and yes, the breath weapon is not very effective, it can occasionally be used more creatively, such as burning all the oxygen out of an enclosed space to tire the Iron Dragon, as the larger dragon requires more air to breathe.

Isn't that planar?
@@lorekeeper685 Extraplanar according to some sources.
There's a weird different types of dragons all dragons are so gray on metal
Is there a book with all this info id like to buy it but cant seem to find it
You said gor something was 329 feet long but you said they could get to 360 feet? You also said he was much larger so I am confused
Why did you label chromium dragons ice dragons in the chapters?
Not sure how chapters even got added to this video actually. They do live in cold conditions and can be called Ice Dragons if memory serves, but yeah, sorry, not sure how the chapter labels are picked.
So ferrus dragons are neither metallic or chromatic or am I wrong I might be wrong

Hi A.j. where can i find info on Grag Lathor? (other than TMG) He sounds epic!
www.lomion.de/cmm/dragfegr.php
AJ Pickett Thank you! It's small wonder I couldn't find anything with a name like that! Take care bud.
But what about the extinct ones? My curiosity is killing me!
So... We have good, evil, neutral, and lawful dragons.Can we get chaotic ones? Do they exist?
i've got to say i never get tired of learning about the different species of dragons, although i have to wonder are there other dragons such as groglathor? who have by some mixture of magic or experience obtained powers on his level? perhaps somewhere you have a dragon like swamp thing, so long as it dies somewhere on ground with life on it , it will respawn anywhere on the planet where plant life flourishes
Looking through dragons for a suitable partner for my half bronze dragon XD
Can you raise the volume of your voice in your videos? I watch a ton of them but can barely hear you sometimes
I would like to see a prismatic dragons interact with other species as they seem to be a true neutral species
Well actually My DM told me that The heat damage is different from fire damage, so in that case, The iron dragon is not inmune and not Even resistent to The fire breath of The red dragon, so in a battle between The two, The red dragon would win
Wrong. Dragon turtles have a steam/boiling water attack that is classified as fire damage because it is a type of heat damage. All heat damage IS fire damage, not all FIRE damage is heat damage. Unless you are doing an older edition or special homebrew, you and your dm have it backwards. The heat metal spell also does fire damage even though it is heat, scorching ray is a heat beam that deals fire damage, and some radiant abilities or spells have similarities (but not all). Hope this helps. All tomatoes are fruit, not all fruit are tomatoes. Apples are sweet, but not all fruit is sweet (lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, etc.).
Also, if a red breathed fire at you, & you are behind cover like a stalagmite or a tower shield you’ll take half or quarter fire damage because of the heat. The fire itself is not the threat, but the heat from a fire blast is.
24:38 - before the invention of editing. Lol
Great job ;]
I know right where to put these guys 🤔
There sure are alot of types of dragons.
Nice
Will he be redoing this? A script would’ve been nice 👌🏾
Yes.
Hello AJ, if an iron Dragon, a red dragon, both the same age battled would the Iron Dragon be victorious?
Could you do thanoi?
I cant find good information on them lol
There should be alkali dragons too. Not sure how long they'd last after birth, though...
Wait, 12 types? What are the other types? Let’s see that info!
*opens trenchcoat to display many dragon videos* step right up sir, I got all the dragons.
(From Caddyshack) “Well?! We’re waiting!”)
Good video man. I love dragons true dragons not like giant lizards like the komodo or other animals with the name dragon.
the next on sounds interesting
how exactly do chrome dragons dominate whites? and a polymorphing chrome dragon torturer gets me thinking... so iron dragons qre equivalent to reds & silvers? (loving these videos anyways.)
The Dark master Iron dragons are alot stronger than Reds, Reds will have to work together to take down an Iron dragon.
Lead Dragon breath weapon, spray of bullets :)
They did one of those once, it had a breath weapon that was lead smelting fumes. Lead poisoning is not fun...
so what were the two extinct breeds i wonder
booley Bacon and Cheese dragons. Hunted to delicious extinction.
Strontium and Promethium.
AJ Pickett Great video! Where can one find more information on Strontium and Promethium dragons?
I was just joking, there are currently no Strontium and Promethium dragons, extinct or otherwise.
I posted that late last night for me. Reading it again it was obviously a joke. Teaches me to think too deeply at night. Still, thank you for the reply! Love the videos.
You forgot the steel dragon :-(
I guess I'm a Tungsten Dragon
I know you mentioned iron dragons, but what about steel dragons?
They are a thing, I shall make a video on them.
I believe there was a movie about them starring Mark Wahlberg.
Are there Tin and Led dragons?
Should be
@@AJPickett Thanks for the reply AJ!
Recently I have discovered the existence of the pink dragon, I don't think you covered that one yet.
...What about Steel Dragons?
Yep, getting to them soon, they are not members of the Ferrous breeds though, they are metallic dragons.
oh, they're not? ...would make sense if they were.... Oh well... When you do, ill be watching... wife's running a steel in our current campaign.....
AJ Pickett i can't wait to hear about them.
Stellar Dragons please =D
Hmm, is there a dracontrasque crossbreed?
There is a demon Trasque if memory serves but i don't know about a half-dragon. That would be fucking terrifying :)
Tarrasques are based on an actual creature of legend, something like a giant river turtle. So I am going to go with Dragon Turtles for that one.
It is weird that kobold are the opposite though and they worship other dragons.
