Radium dragons, though closely related to Francium dragons, are their most hated enemies. Nothing makes a Francium more jealous than a dragon almost as energetic as they, but who will live a thousand years instead a thousand days. 

Radiums are aptly named, and were the first dragon identified to have the Radiant energy that many breeds are known for. They harness this power in beams of blue light, burning and killing their foes. They emit this light at all times, but it becomes especially intense as they prepare to unleash their breath.

Radiums are predators born, living alone or in mated pairs and roaming the world with tremendous speed. They fly well, they fight well, and they leave nothing where they pass, one of the most aggressive Metallics in existence. The Radiums have one great weakness though, their bodies cannot tolerate water, which burns, and even detonates on contact with them. For this reason, their range is limited to desolate, dessicated areas, and they cannot do much more than short raids into moister climates. 

Nomads cling to oases for this reason just as much as to use water for themselves, for a Radium dragon could be upon them at any moment. 

When wounded, Radium scales exhibit a blindingly pure silver luster, but it rapidly becomes black and tarnished like the rest of their bodies. Some desert faiths preach that this as proof that the Radiums burn with the fires of hell, and their hells are filled with invisible death, not the fire and smoke of other religions.

The way their bright scales violently blacken in air is considered an apt metaphor for all aspects of their lives by many who study them.

Some Radium dragons are compulsive 'justice' seekers, inflicting retribution across the land in oft questionably violent manner. Striking a Radium Dragon exposes its true colors momentarily, albeit through a burst of lung-scorching radioactive dust.

These dragons consider their blue glow a sign of a holy mandate and are quite social in the company of like-minded zealots. Makeshift 'knightly orders' of several mating pairs can devastate entire kingdoms with holy righteous fury, but may also break with sudden enraged violence, should individual views of a situation suddenly collide.
