    That's what I was thinking. Sticky and sugary. Instant tooth decay.

    A pink dragon's breath weapon is known as the dreaded Cone of Cotton Candy (or Fairy Floss if youre in the UK). While kids love it, their parents loath the appearance of Pink Dragons.

    "Dont go near that pink dragon, or youll ruin your supper!" Is a common expression in villages where pink dragons have their sugary hoards. :D

    Pink dragons are also related to Fairy Dragons, and most likely familiars of female arcanists, and some very confident male arcanists.

    When used as a weapon, Cone of Cottoncandy works much like the spell Webs. It also deals 1 point of damage to any teeth the mess comes in contact with, as well as leaving the target terribly sticky and an ant/bee magnet until it is washed off.

    (Shudder) Can you imagine it you've been candyflossed by a Pink Dragon you've managed to get your armour off; by yourself nobody's coming near you while you've got that stuff on you.

    You've cleaned, buffed up your armour and then you find your sword is glued to your scabbard which is glued to your baldric. Your quiver of arrows is just one sticky mess with the arrows all stuck together and they won't come out now.

    And how the hell did it get in my bag of holding all I can bring out now is handfuls of pink stuff sometimes with something solid in it..... :D

    I know fortune favours the brave but if I see a pink dragon I'm outta there so fast you wouldn't believe it.

    Now you're going to throw tins of Spam (vikings stand up in the cafe and start humming a rosuing chorus 'spam, spam, spam, lovely spam') I'm definitely not going near that pink dragon....

    Have you got anything with a little less spam in it ? :lol:

    Cone of Cottoncandy (HLA): At this level it have the same effect as acid, it can instantly disintergrate metal, and can cause acne with in seconds.

    Diabetics should also be very careful around pink dragons.

    But they arent evil! They are all of good alignments! And they are friendly too! Why do you think kids can go ruin their teeth when theres a pink dragon in the area? hehe.

    If someone got plastered with cottoncandy its probly because they attacked the dragon first. :p

    Which leads me too... what do pink dragons like to collect? Are they like magpies and borrower birds and will collect anything shiney and pretty? :)

    Wh...yes they are!!! Pink is a color, chromatic dragons are evil. That means a pink dragon would want to be evil incarnate, and I think it very likely that one who could only spit cotton candy or spam would kill itself out of shame. Chromatic dragons don't do cutesy. :nono:

    To summarize:
    pink = color = chromatic = evil :evil:

    If you say so. But I think that pidgeon-holing races into evil/neutral/good is stupid... but then Im just a dumb girl what do I know? :p hehe

    If you want to get *really* techinical, copper, gold, brass, and silver are colours too, and so they should be evil as well!

    And theres a number of minerals and gems that are pink as well, dont think there are any metals that are pink naturally though.. unless you want to say that "red gold" can be pink :p

    Well, according to this site, pink can also be the result of a number of alloys of gold/copper, gold/silver/copper, and silver/copper:

    This site only lists admixtures with gold, and pink ones include, by % weight:

    91.6% gold / 8.4% copper
    75% gold / 9% silver / 16% copper
    37.5 % gold / 20% silver / 42.5% copper

    Which opens up the possibility that Tal is not actually a chromatic dragon ( :evil: ), but the result of some cross-species lovin' among different good metallic dragons ( :angel: ).

    While in the former case, we could assume that Tal is currently impersonating a red dragon for some nefarious purpose, in the later case the reasons would be more complex. Possibly pink dragons, as non-purebreed metallics, have a hard time growing up among other metallics, and so Tal is impersonating an evil red as a way of acting out and exploring alternate identities...

    But how either of these theories would explain the candy-floss / SPAM (candied SPAM?) breath weapon remains unknown...

    That's actually my point. If they're good, then they should be called by a metallic name, as Bion suggested (though Alloy Dragon sounds a bit odd). But if they're neutral, like Taluntain, they would be gem dragons and would be called by a gem name. Which is why I still maintain my belief that Tal is a Ruby Dragon.

    But if you persist in calling the species "pink", you must deal with the consequences of labeling them as chromatic, and therefore evil. :p

    candied spam!! LMAO, and again, ew! lol

    Maybe thats just what you get... or maybe Tal has fairy-dragon heritage, since pinks are related to them...

    Ahh, but DxA has and interesting point, doesn't she Fel...

    Why color *is* a fairy dragon, actually. Isn't it possible that some might be pink? And fairy dragons are of good alignment... Fairy dragons would work with the "candy" theme... perhaps not so much with SPAM as a processed meat (SPiced hAM), but it would work with SPAM as an internet term, as fairy dragons are iirc known for mischief and trickery (such as, to pull an example out of the air, changing peoples taglines when they aren't looking :shake: )

    Plus, "fairies" like to dress up they say, and Tal is arguably dressing up as a red dragon atm (a transcolored dragon, perhaps?)

    So, it's possible that Tal isn't a chromatic dragon of the pink variety, and therefore evil, but rather a fairy dragon who just happens to be pink, and therefore good with mischievous, chaotic tendancies...

    Remember, Puff the Magic Dragon was purple, but that didn't make him an evil chromatic Purple Dragon: just a magic dragon that happened to be purple. So everyone sing after me: "Tal the Fairy Dragon lived by the Shores of Lethe..."
