Prismatic Dragons
The Prismatic Dragon is a race of epic Dragons which are considered mythical. The Prismatic Dragons are associated with light, which is seen through its breath weapon and its appearance.
Appearance
At birth, Prismatic Dragon dragonets are covered in golden looking scales - which in certain light look to actually be bright reflective scales - which is further enhanced by an aura of multicolored light.
As they get older, their scales become smoother akin to a snake and become more durable, even being remarked as indestructible.
If ever kept away from sunlight a prismatic Dragon looks to have Quoroplatea (a extremely rare condition that changes the appearance of an individual's scales, feathers, hide, fur or skin) and looks tin in colouring.

HABITS
Personality
Prismatic Dragons are optimistic creatures that value the sheer diversity of life as well as the vast spectrum of the Humanoid persona. While they do not go out of their way to socialize with humanoid communities, they are always welcoming to visitors.
Diet
Prismatic Dragons eat any type of meat, and it is speculated they consume light itself. They eat little in comparison to their mass. When hunting, they search for prey over a long distance to make sure not to deplete more resources then needed. They are kind so make sure not to anger cattle ranchers.
Combat
Prismatic Dragons avoid hostile encounters or combat unless they are provoked, and if they must engage they will prefer to engage socially with its potential opponent first to get a good understanding of the creature's nature.
In combat, the dragon utilizes its breath weapon, claws, and spell-like abilities, using different tactics depending on the opponent.
