Ecology
Metallic Greatwyrm is one of the elder species, claiming a wide territory and shaping the ecology around it for centuries. It is most often found in any regions. It is gargantuan-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.
Behaviour
Metallic Greatwyrm is intelligent, vain, long-memoried; it remembers slights for centuries and rewards loyalty in kind. Its Lawful Good alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Metallic Greatwyrm is expanded in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. Dragons in D&D canon trace to Bahamut and Tiamat, with each lineage having its own founding myth. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
