Although not inherently evil, brine dragons have little patience for kindness and philanthropy. As they age, they grow more and more opinionated and obsessed with powerâby adult age, a brine dragon counts itself a failure if it doesnât rule over a collection of âlesser beingsâ such as humans, merfolk, locathah, or even sahuagin.
