==Platinum 78== Platinum dragons, also known as the Noble Metallics, are an extremely rare species of shimmering white dragons that are practically impervious to all forms of corrosion, even more so than Gold dragons. They are one of the few Metallics that are entirely immune to the Mercury dragon's poison flesh. They are too dense to fly or swim, though they have been known to wade into lakes that are shallow enough for them to keep their head above the water. Their wings have developed into repeating hexagonal plates that are widely considered attractive amongst the draconic races (most of all themselves). Despite having a weaker electric breath than Gold or Silver dragons, they are entirely capable of defending themselves with their size, strength, and durability. Their scales are among the greatest alchemical catalysts, required for most masterwork potions and many dwarven mass industrial processes. Many alchemists believe their scales hold the secret to a Philosopher's Stone or immortality (much to the chagrin of Gold dragons). The huge demand for their scales give the platinum dragons a substantial income and no small amount of pride. The "Noble Metallics" have something of a narcissistic streak. Their individuals are ruthlessly ambitious, always seeking to increase their status or wealth, and are frequently unconcerned with the consequences of their actions. They tend to flaunt their accumulated power in public and ostentatious ways; one Platinum dragon made a great show of hiring "lowly" metallics such as Coppers and Nickels at staggering expenses in superfluous bodyguard positions, showing off her wealth and her superiority over other dragons. The Platinum dragons' degree of self-importance puts the Gold dragons' to shame, and indeed the two prideful species have loathed each other for recorded history. Platinum alloyed breeds are rare due to their prideful and "noble" nature, but Cobalt-Platinum hybrids are known to exist. Although smaller than its Platinum parent, they have a stronger electric breath and exceptionally powerful magnetic control, and are often seen with a "crown" of rare metal fragments floating above their head.
