Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Ruthenium 44==
Ruthenium dragons are oft mistaken for juvenile Platinum dragons due their similar coloring and wing shape, but can easily be distinguished by closely looking at the wings, the hexagonal patterns are elongated which provides for the fighting ability of the Ruthenium dragon.

Contrary to what one might believe from looking at a Ruthenium dragon, they are much more closely related to Iron dragons than Platinum dragons and share a similar hardness in their scales, but lack the forging skill and versatility of the Irons. Instead the Ruthenium dragons have mid-range electric breaths and magnetic manipulation, both of which seem to gain strength in sunlight through a mysterious mechanism similar to other dragons.

Unlike Irons, the Ruthenium dragon’s scales also have a reasonable catalytic property and are used as focuses for electric, magnetic, and solar magic. These scales can also create super-alloys through consumption by other dragons, unlike the scales of Niobium and Molybdenum dragons. Unfortunately this alloying only occurs with Nickel dragons which are generally not strong enough to win a confrontation. Therefore Ruthenium and Nickel hybrids are a relatively common hybrid as they are more powerful than their parents in every respect.
