Against weapons whose damage-dealing part is metal (a blade, metal point, arrow-head, or even mace head), a rust dragon has damage reduction equal to what a rust dragon two age categories older than itself has. Wyrm and great wyrm rust dragons have damage reduction 20/magic and 10/chaotic against metal weapons, and lesser weapons corrode when used against them (see Rusting Scales, below). ### Rusting Bite (Ex) A rust dragon that makes a successful bite attack causes metal armor worn by the target creature to fall to pieces and becoming useless immediately. A dragon can also use its bite attack to target a weapon or other metal object, of course. The size of the object is immaterial - a full suit of armor rusts away as quickly as a sword. Magic metal items are allowed Reflex saves against a DC equal to the dragon's breath weapon save DC. ### Rusting Breath (Su) Instead of a line of acid, a rust dragon can breathe a cone of reddish-brown liquid that instantly corrodes and destroys any metal it touches. Any metal is susceptible, including extraordinary metals such as mithral or adamantine. Any metal object or creature takes 2d4 points of damage per age category, ignoring hardness. Attended and magical metals receive Reflex saves to avoid this effect. #### ecology **Treasure** Triple Native to the Infernal Battlefield of Acheron, rust dragons are creatures of tarnished metal, embodying forces of decay and corruption. Some Material Plane sages posit some connec- tion between these fiendish monstrosities and the relatively innocuous rust monster, but the rational mind correctly sees these claims as the ravings of deranged lunatics. Rust dragons bear a strong resemblance to the metallic dragons of the Material Plane, but appear covered in rust, tarnish, or verdigris. Though some rust drag- ons resemble copper drag- ons and others silver or brass, individual rust dragons’ abilities do not differ. Their scales appear pit- ted and lined with corrosive color, and the membranes of their wings are very thin and iridescent. On their native plane of Acheron, rust dragons have an ample food supply in the endless iron cubes the size of continents floating in the void. When drawn to the Material Plane, rust dragons seek out veins of metal in underground caverns, making them particularly loathed by miners. Rust dragons feed on corroded metal, but enjoy fresh meat (particularly vermin) to cleanse the palate between ores.
