Editing Periodic Table of Dragons (section)

==Silicon 14==
Silicon dragons are unusual creatures, having characteristics of both Crystalline and Metallic dragons. They are tough and strong, but also lightweight, and have a strange, multifaceted exterior. 

Their claws and scales are soft and easily fractured when new, looking almost like transparent glass, but as they age, Silicon dragons consume inordinate amounts of coal, plant matter, and anything else with plenty of carbon in it, including animal life. As they process this material, their scales harden, taking on an extremely hard, sharp outer edge that can cut like a razor and withstand incredible strain. Their claws likewise harden, darken, and can slash through armor with ease. 

Underneath their scales are thick, glutinous pseudomuscles made of a rubbery material, which they can flex a little bit to let off heat from underneath, and raise the scales up so their outer edges face predators. In the wild, Silicon dragons flare these scales up both to look larger, and as a mating display. The dark outer edge and the metallic-crystal main body make a striking show. 

These dragons are very social, forming large groups for protection, and can breathe blasts of fine, glittering powder at their enemies, blinding and choking them. 

They fly well, and stand about 14 feet high at the shoulder. 

Silicon dragons love glass and glass sculpture, and share an interesting friendship with Uranium and Europium dragons, making and coloring sculptures of inordinate beauty and grace.
