Alternate Form (Su): Six times per day, a mercury dragon can assume humanoid form. This power works in the same way as the Alter Self spell, except that the effect lasts until dismissed by the dragon or dispelled.

Quicksilver Form (Su): Three times per day as a move action a mercury dragon can assume a form that has all the traits of an ooze. In this form, it loses the ability to fly and cannot use it's breath weapon or natural weapons, but gains a slam attack that uses the same attack bonus and damage as the dragon's claw attack. In this form it can also fit through ay oppening and can maintain this form for 1d8+Constitution modifer rounds.


Mercury Dragons are stealthy shapechangers. Often the work as assassins, scouts, and ambassadors for various kingdoms. They spend much of their time living among humanoids, although always as a member of a different race or culture to hide their ignorance of local customs. Mercury dragons are obsessed with transmutation magic and shapchanging in general. They will often ally themselves with good lycanthropes and other shapeshifting races. They also keep small menageries consisting of animals that change their appearance or shape.
