Dragon #321
Axial dragons are awe-inspiring, draconic embodiments of law who make their homes on the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus. These mighty dragons devote their lives to the perfection of thought and body, both in themselves and in all other creatures of the multiverse.
As there are no true standards of perfection, each axial dragon's perception of what is perfect differs. Purity, order, and symmetry are just a few examples of the many ways the universe can be perfected. Axial dragons might pursue the correction or destruction of half-breeds, flawed gemstones, anarchic civilizations, illogical philosophies, and so on in their crusade to order reality.
Axial dragons consider themselves to have the perfect draconic form. Their flawless bodies are sleek, sharply angular, symmetrical, and perfectly proportioned. Their horns and scales sparkle as if just polished. They have two pairs of rigid, fan-shaped wings. Wyrmlings begin life light blue in color and gradually turn deep purple as they age. Despite any wounds received, axial dragons never scar once healed. They are among the healthiest and most robust of dragons, and they are flawlessly sure of themselves.
Axial dragons speak Celestial, Common, Draconic, and Infernal.
