Bismuth dragons are a strange breed indeed. In their early life, they are dull metallic gray, looking little different from most other Metallic dragons. 

As they mature, though, a strange and wondrous change occurs in their scales. Both genders develop large growths all over their upper bodies, with the male's being much larger. These extended scales are jagged and rough, with no two looking alike, and no two dragons having the same growth patterns. Similarities exist between families, but for this species, their scales are their fingerprints, and they take inordinate pride in them. 

Growing to about the size of a man's head, the scales have all the colors of the rainbow, and reflect brilliantly in the sun. Mating displays are wondrous to behold, a riot of color and flashing lights. Though intended for their mates, the Bismuths are unapologetic attention-whores, and love it when tourists come to observe their shimmering rituals. 

When ground up, shed scales can be used in makeup and pigments, creating a beautiful pearlescent color, and it is highly in demand around the world. 

They are also much less toxic than most of the heavier Metallic dragons and far safer to interact with which encourages the tourism trade.
