| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, brown dragons grow to be large, with fins and feet, and often has three heads, though sometimes it has seven or even twelve heads. They are serpentine. |
| Procreation | Dragons mate with each other only. Without intense supernatural interference, half-dragons are an impossibility. Dragons lay one to three eggs at a time. Upon hatching, a dragon immediately begins absorbing background energies. All dragon eggs are filled with pure, liquid draconic energy, which sustains the baby dragon upon hatching. |
| Esoterica | Brown dragons absorb msawhat-corrupted aether in vast quantities. They also have void, arnum, infernum, and rending, divine energies, and mana. Damaskian power, paradox, and blasphemy are also common. Other powers vary, but aether is always corrupted and holy powers are impossible. |
| Special Powers | Dragons gain new powers as they accumulate more energies. At each stage of growth, they gain a new ability, usually culminating with the twelfth ability when they accumulate . The usual progression of powers is as follows:
All dragons accumulate energies by absorbing them naturally from the area around them. As such, they must carefully cultivate their lairs to provide the right kinds of energies, hence they hoard appropriate objects. Other common powers include defile body or mind, summon mudmen, msawhat blast, and acid rain. |
| Alternate Forms | Brown dragons sometimes take the form of a mudman if need be. |
| Weaknesses | Aether, hengnh, or dumaqu will harm them. |
| Subspecies | Myre monsters are brown dragons with more corrupted aether than most. They appear to be living mounds of pollution and waste, and they defile the universe around them. |
| Culture | Brown dragons lay their eggs in deep myres of filth and stench, where a single parent will raise their young. Once mature, the young dragon is sent to help fill their parent's hoard. About half of them actually do this; the rest just start their own. Brown dragons live solitary lives other than when raising their young or mating. They choose mates based on toxicity. When they get old, they simply rot where they lie. |
