Information

The offspring of an hematite and Pyrite dragon, the Bauxite dragon is almost like the cruel version of an hematite dragon. They often trick creatures deeper into old mines and dark places to either consume them or enslave them. Their bodies tend to be large and brutish and most end up stuck in deep dark caverns and never see the light of day. Unlike their distant hematite cousins, they are terrible burrowers and must rely on their trickery and slaves to get the things they need rather than traverse deep dark tunnels themselves. Older Bauxite dragons are often very lazy.

Bauxite dragons love combat in the rare circumstances that they get it, but they also do not like a fair fight. If conditions are not optimal, they will often attempt to negotiate more favorable conditions often through trickery and deceit. They have a few natural talents to let them charm their prey into submission or servitude, and when all else fails, they can regurgitate molten metal (they often consume large amounts of iron as part of their diet). They are often natural sorcerers but some in their laziness become wizards instead as their long lazy life often gives them plenty of opportunity to read.
