==Vanadium 23==
While many types of dragons have been known to sell their scales for alloys, few are as prolific or as valued as the Vanadium dragon.

Dark gray and three times the size of a horse, Vanadium dragons are technically scaleless. However, upon exposure, their outer layers of skin rapidly transforms into irregular plates covering them. These plates will rapidly slough off, only for the next layer of skin to transform into new plates.

While Vanadiums lack a breath weapon, they are highly resistant to corrosion and are one of the tougher dragons, especially due to the fact that their bodies are not nearly as brittle as other Metallic dragons.

Even more significantly for their influence, their rapid shedding of plates grants the ability to sell large amounts of their castoffs for other dragons to consume. Among others, Titanium and Steel dragons can benefit, and they both gain a marked increase in durability, with Titanium dragons also gaining increase in resistance to temperature extremes. Because of this, both breeds will pay handsomely for Vanadium castoffs, and Iron dragons have been known to consume Carbon dragons for the sole purpose of being able to benefit from alloying with Vanadium. In addition, their plates are frequently bought by wizards for focus materials, given the prevalence of them compared to most other dragon pieces.
