Alignment

Eladrakes are generally considered to symbols of a disturbing union of elves and dragons. As such they are mostly shunned by society. However, this doesn't make them inherently bitter or vengeful.

Regardless of their good or evil intentions, they inherit the elven love of freedom, variety, and self-expression, and thus strongly lean toward the chaotic.
