Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Molybdenum 42==
Molybdenum dragons are an interesting breed of dragon that lacks a breath weapon, but makes up for it in sheer power. Highly resistant to heat and having very hard scales, the Molybdenum dragons are not afraid to take on other dragons with brute force.

Despite being light enough to fly, the Molybdenum dragons’ wings have shriveled over time, becoming vestigial. so much so that they are often mistaken for underfed, skinny, juvenile Lead dragons.

Amongst dragons they are not considered to be attractive to others and this explains the relatively low rates of Molybdenum hybrids, even though they form even better super-alloys than Niobiums do, with the same stipulations on consumption. Due to the vanity of many dragons, the fact that their offspring would retain the undesirable looks of the Molybdenum dragon parent is enough to turn them away, but some power-oriented dragons will pay handsomely to have a Molybdenum hybrid.

Molybdenum dragons have value to mortals as well, with scales that act a catalyst and reagent in alchemy. It is often theorized that the Technetium dragons’ catalytic properties were derived from Molybdenum dragons. Other uses for the dragons’ scales are as a fertilizer, for weapons and armor, especially from hybrid scales, and among dwarves as an essential component for any device that will be working with or under high pressure. The dwarven Underships would not be able to go as deep as they do without Molybdenum components.
