Mychasi Wyrmling Brass Dragon

Mychasi loves to talk—nonstop—about anything, but tends to steer any conversation toward topics he knows, even when doing so forces him into a non sequitur. When unable to converse with a sapient creature, Mychasi happily converses with passing animals, or simply talks to himself.

Adventurers can often get useful information about local events from him, but only after engaging in an extended chat in which the little dragon relates a seemingly endless stream of superfluous details.

Mychasi: Male wyrmling brass dragon; CR 3; Tiny dragon (fire); HD 4d12+4; hp 30; Init +0; Spd 60 ft., burrow 30 ft., fly 150 ft.

Poccri Very Young Brass Dragon

Poccri is a dragon on the run. Forced out of her lair by a marauding band of gnolls, she now finds herself hunted throughout her territory. Strangely, the gnolls seem protected against her frightful presence, uncowed by her combat prowess, and not satisfied by just taking over her lair and stealing her hoard. The reason behind this uncharacteristic behavior is a gnoll cleric who has taken Poccri’s destruction as a personal quest in honor of Erythnul.

Poccri never stays in the same place for long, rarely curling up in the same crevice for more than one night. She expends all her energy fighting the gnolls where she can and seeking allies in the desolate land of her territory.

Vultsubai Young Brass Dragon

Unlike many of his kind, Vultsubai enjoys the fine art of conversation—not simply the sound of his own voice. He lairs near a large city, and his favorite topic of conversation is local gossip about the humans and dwarves who live in the city. He knows intimate secrets about people he has never met, simply finding their quirks, habits, and misadventures a source of endless fascination. He finds the dwarves especially interesting, since their personalities are generally so different from his own. He can eagerly listen to the most long-winded dwarf recite a lengthy clan history in

Dwarven without showing a trace of boredom.

Amnehodenphinix Juvenile Brass Dragon

Amnehodenphinix has a friend and mentor from whom she is virtually inseparable: a gynosphinx named Taerhanna. The dragon imitates the sphinx’s mannerisms and shares her love of puzzles and riddles. The two engage in witty banter during nearly every waking moment, weaving complex multilingual puns in an unending contest of cleverness and ingenuity. While Amnehodenphinix remains so young, the sphinx is clearly her superior in this match of wits. The dragon’s greatest fear is that Taeranna will die—of old age if not from violence—before Amnehodenphinix can best her intellect (quite likely, since Amnehodenphinix will not attain an 18 Intelligence for over 5 centuries).

Amnehodenphinix: Female juvenile brass dragon; CR 8; Medium dragon (fire); HD 13d12+26, hp 110; Init +0; Spd 60 ft., burrow 30 ft., fly 200 ft. (poor); AC 22, touch 10, flatfooted 22; Base Atk +16; Grp +16; Atk +16 melee (1d8+3, bite); Full Atk +16 melee (1d8+3, bite), +11 melee (1d6+1, 2 claws), +11 melee (1d4+1, 2 wings); Space/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA breath weapon, spell-like abilities, spells; SQ blindsense 60 ft., darkvision 120 ft., endure elements, immunity to fire, magic sleep effects, and paralysis, low-light vision, vulnerability to cold; AL CG; SV Fort +10, Ref +8, Will +9; Str 17, Dex 10, Con 15, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 12.

Alazphraxion Young Adult Brass Dragon

Alazphraxion likes to set things on fire. He is not destructive, he simply finds fire beautiful—and sometimes loses track of what is burning. He tends to toy with fire while talking (which he does as much as any brass dragon), which can have an unnerving effect on his conversation partners, but he is oblivious to their discomfort.

Alazphraxion makes his lair in a series of volcanic caverns in a mountain range at the edge of a great desert. When he has no one to talk to in his lair, he enjoys splashing lava around and observing its effects on various other substances.

Alazphraxion: Young adult male brass dragon; CR 10; Large dragon (fire); HD 16d12+48, hp 152; Init +0; Spd 60 ft., burrow 30 ft., fly 200 ft.

Iksagyarjerit Adult Brass Dragon

Iksagyarjerit considers herself a peerless judge of talent and character. In her earlier years, she befriended a young human named Erjanus who had unwillingly become a wizard because his parents wished it. But Iksagyarjerit could see that the human’s heart yearned to fight for truth and justice, so she eventually persuaded him to become a paladin.

Though he died soon afterward fighting for truth, she is convinced that he was truly happy. Since then, Iksagyarjerit has dedicated herself to aiding as many other beings as possible in finding their true professions—for their own good, of course.

Urevhocymkearsus Mature Adult Brass Dragon

Urevhocymkearsus is full of questions. He finds the workings of other creatures’ minds endlessly fascinating, and seeks to learn how they think. Beyond benign interest, however, Urevhocymkearsus enjoys manipulating the thoughts, emotions, and actions of other creatures—through both magical and mundane means. He is particularly interested in what makes creatures such as humanoids—beings not born to evil the way evil dragons or demons are, choose evil.

She has been known to tempt such creatures to commit evil acts in order to learn what motivates them to abandon what they believe is the right path. As a result of this whole fascination, he is extremely forgiving of evil humanoids, though he has no tolerance for creatures of utter evil.

Livoxdrinacepsek Old Brass Dragon

Livoxdrinacepsek is a Huge dragon with a Colossal personality. Every movement of his enormous body is exaggerated— he punctuates his loud, loquacious speech with flamboyant gestures, paces back and forth when he speaks, and brings his gigantic face deafeningly close to his audience to really drive a point home. His speech is melodramatic and histrionic, and he expects appreciation if not applause for his every action. Some creatures—particularly humans of a similar temperament—find his company delightfully entertaining, while many others find him overwhelming or terribly irritating.

Livoxdrinacepsek: Male old brass dragon; CR 17; Huge dragon (fire); HD 25d12+125, hp 287; Init +0; Spd 60 ft., burrow 30 ft., fly 200 ft.

Suncamilahsundi Very Old Brass Dragon

Suncamilahsundi has seen enough: All these humans are just ruining the world; that’s all there is to it. The days of her youth, some seven centuries ago, were the best years the world has ever known, and it’s been all downhill from there.

Not that she’s bitter—she certainly doesn’t hate humanity, but she can’t keep from shaking her head and clucking her tongue every time she sees a human, remembering what it was like before they built that city too close to her lair and started messing everything up. She keeps up with all the news of the area, but none of it pleases her, and she’s equally sour about the state of the natural world. Like most brass dragons, she shares her opinions with anyone who will listen, and is more than willing to make people listen if she feels they really need a talking-to.

Ariikdasadakuundax Ancient Brass Dragon

Other good dragons worry about Ariikdasadakuundax, while evil dragons laugh at him. He is all too willing to part with his treasure, always making sizable donations to worthy causes. Every good-aligned temple within 100 miles of his lair has the name of Ariikdasadakuundax inscribed on a lintel or a cornerstone in honor of his generous gifts, and there are countless stories of people, once down on their luck, who have the dragon to thank for their present improved circumstances. The reason for his unusual generosity is as straightforward as it is tragic: in his youth, Ariikdasadakuundax was even more avaricious than most dragons. Through a complicated series of events his greed caused the death of his lifelong mate. In her memory, he

Conjazmynabryte Wyrm Brass Dragon

In the center of a great desert, a narrow pillar rises impossibly high into the sky, a remnant of or monument to some long-lost civilization. High on its apex, Conjazmynabryte basks in the hot desert sun and bathes in the cool night air. Among nearby communities, legend holds that she will answer any question put to her by someone who climbs the pillar to reach her, but she attacks anyone who flies to the height.

She has lost much of the love of conversation she had in her youth, mainly because she is tired of answering insipid questions from idiots who happen to be strong enough to scale the pillar. She no longer couches unpleasant truths in soft language, instead being painfully blunt with advice and criticism, in an attempt to bring any conversation to a hasty end. The only thing known to have brought her down from her pillar-lair is the sight of a blue dragon entering her territory. Most blues know better.
