| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, dragons grow to be sleek metal-encrusted worms of enormous size. |
| 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 | Steel dragons have accumulated great amounts of white tiger aether. Earthpower aether is also common. Damaskian power, kor, and shebv heya are not unheard of. Divine energies are not uncommon. Fate, possibility, and muscle are frequently found. Other powers vary. Msawhat is 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 create alloys, salt blast, control metallic objects, and summon white tigers. |
| Alternate Forms | Steel dragons sometimes take the form of a muir'bran. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat corrupts and harms them. |
| Subspecies | Alloy dragons have accumulated so much white tiger aether that they start absorbing solid metals. These metals blend in their flesh into intricate, impossible alloys. Depending on what blends, they alter greatly. Sometimes they become too rigid to move and die. Other times, they become unstoppable worms. Their breath weapons become a mixture of powerful gases with random effects. |
| Culture | Steel dragons lay their eggs in deep mountain caves, where the young are raised by their parents. Steel dragons live in small packs that are led by the most powerful among them. They build their hoards through mining and alliances with locals who also mine. They dig deep into the earth to find metals, and they are known as great finders of veins of ore. As they grow older, they tend to eventually leave the tribe to dig deeper and deeper until they find a place to die alone. |
