Iron dragons are ambush predators. They are deceptive and manipulative by nature and prefer to strike from the shadows and do battle from range. They prefer to manipulte others into doing thir fighting for them, particularly hobgoblins, ogres, and gnolls. If their intervention will win the day, then they strike when the time is right, otherwise an iron dragon is more than willing to abandon their erstwhile allies to save their own necks.
