Morning tea musings: D&D has metallic dragon species, like silver and gold, right? They have bronze dragons, and brass dragons, but brass is not a naturally occurring metal. It’s an alloy of zinc. But there are no zinc dragons! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?!

Oh, that's a SECRET.
(Seriously. A lore secret, dating back to the days of TSR, and Dave Sutherland. Not mine to spill.)#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 20, 2019
I am geeking out so hard on this right now. >.> Heh. What I CAN share is the reaction of a certain TSR higher-up. Who said in response to DCS, "Aaaand even the g-d kitchen zinc. When it comes to dragons, some people have to beat an idea to death with a stick." ;}
Which is why there are no published official zinc dragons. ;}— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 20, 2019
:: chuckles :: I know that I’m going to throw a zinc dragon at my players next session. 😉 Its breath weapon: a storm of endless tumbling (metal) kitchen sinks…
