Ecology
Brass Dragon Wyrmlings hatch in desert canyons, ruins, and arid steppes, where their copper-toned scales blend with sandstone. They are amphibious to heat: their bodies thrive in temperatures that would kill mammals. They eat lizards, scorpions, snakes, and the occasional camel. Adult brass dragons keep loose territories and sometimes adopt wyrmlings of unknown lineage; orphan wyrmlings are common.
Behaviour
Brass Dragon Wyrmlings are **chatty, lonely, and surprisingly friendly**. They prefer conversation to combat and will pelt strangers with questions about the wider world. They love jokes, gossip, and travel stories. They use their sleep-cone breath only on rude, threatening, or boring guests. A polite traveler may walk away with a friend, a riddle, and a small piece of desert-lore.
Origin
Brass dragons descend from Bahamut's brood (the metallic line) and embody the desert wind — talkative, restless, harmless until insulted. Sand-people of certain frontier nations consider a brass wyrmling's company a sign of luck. The first brass dragon-friend in legend was a nomad poet who taught a wyrmling to recite epic verse; the tradition of dragon-poets persists in some desert courts.
