Gold Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) Wiki.png Alternate Name: Alignment Traits Size Habitat Breath Weapon Treasure The Gold Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) is a type of dragon in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It is a metallic dragon. Also called royal dragons or imperial dragons, gold dragons are the apex of an already unimaginably powerful race.
