Tungsten Dragons are unique amongst the Ferrous Dragons for having a racial alignment of Good. However, it's not exactly a ''nice'' form of good. In a nutshell, Tungsten Dragons believe the adage "the ends justify the means"; after all, if evil will stop at nothing to win, then good must stop at nothing to defeat evil. This is why they are Neutral Good in AD&D, and Lawful Good in 3e.

Of course, in a typical display of draconic hypocrisy/incompetence, that dedication to preserving and expanding good typically ends at the borders of a Tungsten Dragon's territory. Furthermore, they deal ''harshly'' with intruders, unless somehow convinced that their potential victims are actually working for the side of good.

Fortunately, Tungsten Dragons aren't common, as they prefer arid regions with warm climates. This also brings them into frequent conflict with both Blue and Brass Dragons; the evil nature of the Blues means that Tungstens will readily gang up on them, whilst Brass Dragons are merely looked down upon as being "boorish, irresponsible, and generally not deserving to be considered one of the good guys".

Impervious to flame, Tungsten Dragons produce blasts of high-velocity, scorching hot sand as their breath weapon, and have a versatile array of spell-like and magical abilities. In AD&D, they can detect the presence of good and/or evil thrice per day after reaching the Young stage, and detect a lie once per day after reaching the Young Adult stage. In 3e, Young Tungsten Dragons can cast Discern Lies 1/day, Old ones can cast Dispel Evil 1/day, and Ancient ones can cast Plant Growth 2/day.

In both editions, adult Tungsten Dragons can conjure up a Sand Cloud (a variant of the Fog Cloud effect) twice per day, whilst Great Wyrms can cause a victim to spontaneously combust once per day.

Tungsten Dragons stand out in their usually brownish environments, as their scales are green; deep forest with brown flecks at hatching, they become gleaming and metallic green with no flecks by adulthood, then dull as the dragon ages.

Tungsten [[Half-Dragon]]s retain the scouring sand breath and fire immunity.
