As everyone knows, the blood of a chromatic dragon is lethal poison to a metallic dragon and vice versa. However, the current lack of metallic dragons in these lands makes this knowledge somewhat academic.
But for Sir Codwise the Old, the current Spellknight of the Knights of the Cudgel (21.14), that was merely a problem to solve and, much to the consternation of the other knights, he has taken to polymorphing chickens into gold dragons. This has not gone well. The polymorphed chickens are certainly very large and look just like true dragons but their minds remain those of chickens, their blood has no potency and their skin does not even make good armor.
Sir Codwise generally kills his creations in frustration but at least one has gotten free (19.15).
Hooks:
- What does the chicken dragon taste like?
- Why does dragon blood poison other types of dragons?
- Why are there no metallic dragons about? None have been mentioned so far.
- Is it possible to harvest draconic blood and hide by polymorphing chickens into dragons or are Sir Codwise’s experiments doomed?
