Ⅱ

Adamantine dragons, a type of primal and skymetal dragon, possess inherent primal magic that draws specific metals to their bodies similarly to magnets, or sometimes they grow these skymetals naturally. As they mature, their scales are replaced by increasingly robust adamantine plating. These dragons exhibit unwavering loyalty and determination; once they set their minds on a goal, changing their course is exceedingly difficult. Unlike almost all magical dragons, adamantine dragons' inborn magic does not manifest in the form of innate spells. However, as can be found among all magical dragon species, some adamantine dragons take up the magical arts and learn to prepare spells.

Within their hoards, one can expect to find a collection of gemstones and precious metals. Consequently, adamantine dragons tend to value non-material gifts, with many favoring intriguing stories and memorable songs over tangible possessions.

Habitat

Adamantine dragons primarily inhabit mountainous regions, canyons, and other rugged terrains. Accessing their lairs can prove challenging, as these dragons typically dig tunnels to reach their lairs, resulting in extensive and maze-like tunnel networks.
