Homebrew Young Red Dragon Species Details

Red dragons have two swept-back horns on their heads and smell of smoke and sulfur. The biggest, mightiest, and usually the quickest to anger out of all dragons, these guys are not to be messed with. Being bulky, red dragons prefer to fight on the ground. Often times arrogant, believing their kind to be the pinnacle of all creation, and a fight with a red dragon is a fight to the death. Red dragons also may believe that those who can't protect what they have do not deserve to have it, and those with the power to take something deserve to have it. Red dragons are typically considered tyrants and the only thing most red dragons care about is reputation. They will tell other dragons of their feats and downplay the feats of others. It may try to never be outdone and if another dragon’s feats surpass their own, they may do everything in their power to outdo them. When most Red dragons cannot outdo their competitor’s fame, they will go into an uncontrolled rage, lasting for days.

Red Dragons also breath flames up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. This race is meant to be used with the Dragon Class.
