- Appearance
- Mirror dragons have beautiful mirrored scales that cover their entire slender,
ribbon-like body. By the time the dragon has become of juvenile age their
scales have become so fine, smooth, and reflective that it is difficult to
tell where one scale ends and the next begins. Their movements are like water
and as they fly they twist and twine about through the air like a windcatcher
cloth set loose into a strong breeze. A lengthy mane of silvery hair spans
from snout to the tip of their tail. Mirror-dragon's wings are vast fans of
gossamer veiling which can be wrapped about the dragons body if it wishes.
These wings are used more for steering the dragons body through the air,
rather than propelling itself forward which it is able to do with its twining
movements. All four of the dragons legs are slender and are kept against the
dragons body while in flight. Mirror dragon's heads are lengthy and older
dragons often sport a flowing beard of semi-translucent and silvery hair.
As they age their pupils fade until the eyes resemble orbs of highly polished
chrome.
- Combat
- Mirror dragons are typically non-combative, though they dislike creatures that work to destroy things and often work against such beings. Mirror dragons have also been known to spare the lives of their opponents in exchange for the secrets or other knowledge - though one who has angered a mirror dragon would be a fool to merely blurt out their information and hope for mercy, tact and cunning are two traits prized by these creatures.
When in combat, a mirror dragon uses its spell abilities to confuse, mislead, becalm, or immobilize their opponent. Against more powerful enemies, the mirror dragon may play a game of cat-and-mouse. Disappearing and returning to surprise attack their enemy, in order to slowly wear them down.
Breath Weapon (Su): A mirror dragon has two types of breath weapons, a powerful cone of wind and sonic sound, or a brilliant seed of electricity. While the former does only half the damage of the latter (only d8 per age category), creatures caught in the sonic blast are deafened and must succeed a Reflex save or be thrown back 10 ft. for every 5 points damage they took (suffering falling damage) and be stunned for 1d6 rounds. The latter breath weapon passes through each creature it strikes, in a straight line.
Wind Walking (Su): While this ability functions similar to the spell, it is a supernatural ability of the mirror-dragon and a preferred mode of travel for long distances. The ability may function as long as the dragon desires and can be negated or resumed at will.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): Clairaudience/clairvoyance; 3/day - polymorph, rainbow pattern, 2/day - mislead, tongues; 1/day - control weather, prismatic spray. A mirror dragons polymorph works just like the spell, except that each use allows only one change, which lasts until the dragon assumes another form or reverts to its own (which does not count as a use of this ability).
Skills: Mirror dragons have the Jump skill for free at 1 ran per hit die.
- Habitat/Society
- Mirror dragons prefer to lair upon high clouds or to drift aimlessly in the
wind. Rather than gathering treasure, mirror dragons hoard secrets and
knowledge, using their clairvoyant skills to spy from the clouds. Occasionally
mischievous, a mirror dragon will polymorph into a non- draconic guise and let
lose a tasty secret it has learned, then retreat to the clouds to see the
results of its work. Mirror dragons are known to travel great distances, to
where ever the wind might take them, exploring all there is to see.
- Ecology
- While they can sustain themselves on almost any substance, mirror dragons prefer to dine on cloud mist and rain drops. When a mirror dragon lays its eggs it hides them in an enchanted cloud with a solid floor. Mirror dragons mate for life, though the mated pairs are rarely seen together, they return to each other every few hundred years to mate and share what they have learned.
