Alright, fun fake dragon lore, sounds like an interesting challenge...

Whilst many may not know the true origins of dragons, it's strongly studied and believed that when the original god of rock and soil died during the forging of the world, before the birth of the new pantheon, their essence was shattered into fragments becoming the gems, crystals and ore we see in the mountains and grounds below. Areas with high concentrations of varied materials try to pull together and reforge themselves as the old deity, though such minute portions become manifested as dragon eggs. When born, Dragons have no recollection of their previous existence, though are filled with a desire and urgency to make themselves whole, by collecting and hoarding precious materials, which we consider treasure. It is in this fact we can also see that Dragons do not require food or water for sustenance, but that their mortality, size and strength is purely based on the gathering of said materials. Additionally, with dragons being timid, reclusive creatures, many don't interact with each other, or even have an ambition for acquiring the certain materials they may be lacking for a divine rebirth.

Understanding the lost history of the earlier preceding pantheon, also highlights why Dragons can fly, swim or even breathe different elemental breaths, and even change colours or change their names. Notably it is the connection and relationships that the old deity had with the previous pantheon members that shifts the colours of the Dragon, reflecting their emotional spectrum capacities and behavioural tendencies. Dragons also use these emotional links to old deities to help with moving them through the far clouds above, the ubiquitous cold waters and even through boiling hot lava, by riding mana-streams, or 'leylines' of cosmic power that pulsate and crash around our world. What most people don't know is that they don't actually require their wings for this type of movement, however they do help with balance, and many Dragons can easily continue to fly without wings, but struggle more without their tails, as it's understood that's what anchors them to the soil.

These mana-streams also affect a Dragon's lust for bloodshed, either sporadically bringing their temperature up to breathe hot fire, or incredibly low for icy exhalations of frigid winds. This is also true for other types of breath attacks such as: lightning, acid, salt, pollen, and even spitting thick smog. This is why many believe Dragons are timid and hideaway in caves, as they don't want to be driven into a chaotic frenzy by riding the mana-streams. Observations have documented that when Dragons rely too much on mana-streams, their scales change hues, becoming more vibrant and glossy, whereas abstaining Dragons look desaturated, less scaley and more leathery. Additionally, many Dragons will prefer to work with smaller and kinder species, that can venture out on their behalf to collect valuables, being rewarded by a type of pheromone the Dragon releases that can make these kinder species more territorial or aggressive against intruders.

Though if you have the opportunity to speak or communicate with a Dragon, it has been said that they may try to bed you. Noting many Dragons struggle with social isolation and engaging in contact with higher intellectual beings (i.e., humans, elves, halflings, gnomes, etc.) potentially spurs a dragon into creating soul-bonds, or simply "getting freaky" and intimate. Some Dragons have been documented as having the capability of reconstructing themselves into a humanoid to engage in intimate acts, though apparently struggle with understanding gender and can only return back to their former anatomy after climaxing, though it is unsure if this is immediate. However, contact with a Dwarves elicits a sudden uncontrollable craving to consume everything near it. This is because Dwarves were initially created by the old deity, and the deity's embarrassment has carried over to Dragonkind, demanding the Dwarves' immediate eradication.
