Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Thallium 81==
Thallium dragons are rare and dangerous beasts, heavy and powerful, with unusually well-developed wings for one of the larger Metallics. Reasons for why this species retained much of its power to fly, when most of the heavier Metallics abandoned flight, remain unclear.

Their flame is very distinctive, blazing a brilliant, almost unnaturally green flame. Beyond its natural danger from heat, the flame carries with it vaporized particles of the Thallium's inner nature, which are extremely toxic and leave a deadly residue behind.

It is wise for a kingdom to appease a Thallium dragon, for their wrath can have repercussions for generations. A pleased Thallium dragon will share its scales, which when ground up and applied carefully protect against rats and insects, sparing communities from disease and starvation.

In this way, some primitive tribes revere Thalliums as harsh yet benevolent agricultural spirits, and many homes have small statues of Thallium dragons, which they believe will ward off harmful spirits just as they ward off vermin. The Thalliums themselves care little for the opinions of mortals, but they never refuse an offering of food, and consider themselves honor bound to reciprocate the favor.
