===Axial Dragon===
Native to the Clockwork Nirvana of [[Mechanus]], the Axial Dragon is a sleek, sharply angular dragon whose body is always symmetrical and perfectly proportioned. Their horns and scales sparkle as if just polished, and their wounds always heal without scarring. These dragons possesses two pairs of rigid, fan-shaped wings, and their scales are light blue as wyrmlings before darkening to deep purple as they age.

These dragons are proud inheritors of the [[Planescape]] tradition of Lawful characters/races/factions being absolute dicks: possessing an extra-generous dose of draconic ego and complete certainty of themselves, they regard themselves as being the embodiments of draconic perfection. In fact, perfection is their raison d'etre; their lives are dedicated to pursuing perfection in thought and body, both in themselves and in the wider multiverse. Ironically, this philosophy is not unmarred by its own aspect of chaos; after all, "perfection" has no one universal standard, and so axial dragons may devote themselves to purity, order, symmetry or any other interpretation of "perfection".

A side effect of this is that axial dragons are the most ''racist'' dragon around. See, whilst some of their ilk prefer to destroy flawed gemstones or illogical philosophies, others seek the annihilation of anarchic civilizations - or any "half-breed" race. As in, advocating genocide against [[half-elves]], [[half-orc]]s, [[tiefling]]s, [[aasimar]], [[genasi]], or any of the myriad other mixed-ancestry races in the D&D multiverse. Even axial dragons that don't outright seek to exterminate mixed-breeds will '''never''' mate outside of their own species; there are no [[half-dragon]]s with axial dragon ancestry in them.

An axial dragon possesses a single breath weapon, in the form of a conical gout of raw force. They have a vast array of elemental immunities, which grows more diverse as they age, and a fairly small array of spell-like abilities.

This dragon is found in [[Dragon Magazine]] #321.
