Alternate Form (Su): The steel dragon can take on humanoid form at will. At birth the dragon selects a humanoid form it desires to turn into and from then on it can only transform into the selected form.


Steel dragons are the most likely dragon to be encountered by the average person, but you wuld never know it. That is because steel dragons use their abilities to blend in with the general public and live among humanoids, often for years. Only when their long lifespans begin to draw attention do they pack up and move to another city. On occasion a steel dragon becomes attached to a city and will reveal their secret to city leaders and offer to become the city's protector.

Steel dragons hate authority of any kind. This leads them to avoid contact with other metallic dragons, particularly gold dragons. They promote liberty and freedom where ever they go, encouraging peple to make their own way so long as they do not harm others. Even in battle, steel dragons hate to be pinned in and will use every trick at their disposal to maneuver around the battlefield.
