Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

Next up we have the Draconians!
As a race, draconians of all varieties are of the Dragon type, are immune to all diseases, gain +1 morale bonus on saves/attacks/skills when serving under a chromatic dragon leader, have Spell Resistance which scales with Hit Dice (the higher CR ones have better values), and can survive on 1/10th the food and water of a regular human. All but the Aurak have wings which can grant limited flight in the form of gliding. All of them also have their own death throes.
I've always thought it was a little strange that Aurak Draconians lacked wings, presumably because the original 1977 Monster Manual Gold Dragons were wingless, when the Krynn...ish? Krynnian? version of the Gold Dragon canonically has big flappy wings.
Gold Dragons are the most intelligent, powerful, and magically-inclined of all dragons. They are defenders of justice and fight for those unable to defend themselves. They only kill when there is no other option available, using restraint in all their actions. They can change into humanoid form, but rarely do so due to the form's relative fragility. They make their lairs anywhere and in any climate, and have been known to re-appropriate humanoid castles and fortresses once home to evildoers (which they either killed or drove off). They eagerly help people seeking their aid if the cause is just, but often use divination magic to ensure that people don't try to trick them.
With their doing good deeds for free and a code against killing except in the direst of circumstances, they're pretty much the Supermen of dragons.
See?
