Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Tellurium 52==
Tellurium dragons are extremely rare, being slightly rarer than  the seldom-seen Platinum dragons. Adding to the mystery surrounding these strange dragons, an influx of them appear after large meteor showers and similar events, leading many to believe that they are not native to the planet. Some mortals even believe that these dragons orchestrate these showers to bring in more of their kind, but these claims are entirely unfounded by any research or logic concerning the beasts.

The rumors of extraterrestrial origins are galvanized by their ability to gain exceptional power from being in sunlight, so much so that they prefer to make their homes on cloudless mountaintops to get closer to what strengthens them. Unlike Cadmium dragons who adapted only their wings to catch sunlight, the Tellurium dragons’ entire back has been changed to help them gather the sun. Their wings are not as broad as Cadmium dragons', preventing the need for extra joints to allow normal walking, but to make up for the smaller size, their wings have adapted to bend into dishes that reflect and intensify light while still allowing great flying capability when held level. This intense light is mostly reflected towards their back which has concave scales embedded in it that capture light very efficiently.

The light the wings reflect can also be turned towards the Tellurium dragons’ foes, and when combined with the power of the Tellurium dragons’ moderate electric breath the combination is devastating. The Tellurium dragons can channel this breath indefinitely when in bright direct sunlight, but in darkness it only has a limited use, forcing them to resort to their sharp yet brittle claws.

Their scales are quite hard which offers good protection against slicing weapons, however, they share the same brittleness as the claws of the dragon, creating a weakness to very powerful blunt bashes. Their scales are valuable to wizards who can use them as both electric and solar focuses, as well as being exceptional Radiant energy detectors with the right runes placed upon them. The dwarves also find these scales to be quite useful in their mechanical endeavors, as mixing a Tellurium dragon’s scales with other metals allows them to be machined much more easily, allowing for mass production of necessary equipment.
