Information

Sandstone dragons are the result of the odd pairing of a Bronze and Limestone dragon who on occasion have paired in more desolate and isolated locations where the norms of dragon society have been tossed aside. They tend to be aloof as a result of the conflicting nature of their parentage, often being very tidy and orderly in arranging their lairs and their own affairs, but also distant from matters of concern in their environments. Thus they are viewed as an odd contradiction, conscientious yet disinterested, and some go as far as calling them lazy.

Sandstone dragons resemble slightly smaller versions of Bronze dragons, generally slimmer and with less pronounced facial features. Their scales tend to resemble their Limestone parents’ and are flexible with a coloration that ranges from yellow to red with large splotches of grey. They have the same eye coloration as Limestone dragons and some of the lighter shaded Sandstone dragons are often mistaken for their pure-blooded parents.

Sandstone dragons are relatively common despite their mixed heritage and their disinterest in the wider world tends to draw them to locations shared by other sandstone dragons, which make them capable of breeding and sustaining their numbers without outside influence, unlike the other hybrid dragons such as Gravel and Slate dragons.
