Introduction
This subspecies came into existence after going on the hunt for the perfect mate for a pretty derg girl named Eurona. I had adopted the imp female from my ex-friend who was having difficulties finding a mate that was not related to Eurona. I found Eurona’s siblings to have a striking resemblance to each other and thus decided that their beautiful gene combo should become a thing of their own. Finally finding the handsome Orion, to our ultimate glee, Eurona was mated and her babies were some of the first official hatchlings of the subspecies. They now come in a variety of colors and I am here to spread the metallic love.

The Lore
Metallic Fire Imperials are the direct product of an experiment gone wrong… or gone right depending on how you look at it. One year, a couple weeks before beloved Trickmurk, a shadow dragon and an arcane dragon mage got together and thought it'd be fun to make "living statues" that could scare the scales off some hatchling and adult dragons alike.
They reached out and received volunteers to willingly undergo this extreme change for a prank, and so dragons were dipped in special liquid metal. The metal itself is infused with Shadow magic which allows the metal to be worn sort of like skin-tight armor. This armor gives these imperials the ability to become pure shadow at will and move about undetected.
Dragons that had undergone the experimentation came out shiny and brand new. This new look and its properties could be handed down to their children. It was a side effect of the magic and effectively cursed any Metallic Fire into giving their progenies the same condition. This is why they prefer to stay on their own and avoid “contaminating” bloodlines.
However, only purebred Metallic Fire's can use the “shadow” powers. Metallic Fires are hot-tempered usually and like to stay within a very small group. Their communication is bare bones unless you engage them in talks of their passion. Metallic Fires exhibit their imperial nature tenfold when it comes to delving deep into a task or occupation and it can be hard to distract them. They are sort of like living machines in that sense.
