Bahamut Dragon and Mythical Creatures
Bahamut the Platinum Dragon has been described both as the King of All Good Dragons, and more accurately,
as a glorious and resplendent deity in his own right. He is ever watchful for the cause of lawful good and sits unsleeping in his palace on Mount Celestia, the Seven Heavens. Bahamut is the protector of all good dragons and a fierce opponent of evil. In addition to being the god of good and metallic dragons, wisdom, and enlightened justice, on many worlds, Bahamut is also seen as a power of virtue in general and as a minor draconic power of the firmament, especially clear and bright skies, whether night or day.
Bahamut is noble, wise, judicious, kind, and helpful, but he can also be stern. He believes in the sanctity of life, and will not willingly kill another creature unless he has no other choice, preferring topolymorph them into a harmless form instead of slay them. By dragon standards, he is selfless and sharing, being neither vain nor desirous of treasure.
Bahamut values wisdom, knowledge, prophecies, and song. On the other hand, he abhors injustice and foul play, being very disapproving of evil and not tolerating any offence offered by evil creatures.
Bahamut is an active deity, ever arguing the case against evil with Io, ever watchful against the actions of Tiamat. He also watches over lawful good creatures, draconic or otherwise, in peril, offering aid, recuperation, and knowledge, but is not eager to involve himself directly in the affairs of the Prime Material plane unless to check Tiamat. All good wyrms look to him for guidance and wisdom, especially gold, silver, and bronze dragons, although a few brass and copper dragons also pay him homage.
