Companion thread to the Survivor thread for Ferrous dragons. And before anyone complains, per the original article:

These dragons got a 3.5E update in Dragon #356, in "Ferrous Dragons: The Return of Heavy Metal—Dragons" by Kevin Baase and Eric Jansing. One of the authors of this article posted what we may consider a web enhancement in the Paizo forums, in which he speculates that one of the 7 "lost" species of Ferrous dragons mentioned in the original article could be the magnetite (lodestone) dragon...
He's probably/basically/maybe a metamorphosis of an iron dragon, which maybe/basically/probably makes him a new life stage at the very least, probably a new species since he's sufficiently mutated to have a new breath weapon option....Gruaghlothor is not a divine power...
Gruaghlothor is said to have been the very first ferrous dragon ever to exist. It was under his guidance that the clan hierarchy was formed. He was destroyed in battle with a huge pack of red dragons. With his dying breath, Gruaghlothor swore to destroy the red dragons if he had to come back from the grave, and return he did. The red dragons remain, but deep under a mighty mountain burns the smoldering hatred of a thousand kings waiting to flare into the destruction of their age-old enemies.
Whenever Gruaghlothor dies, the iron dragon chosen to replace the former goes into a state of hibernation for one year. During this time, the chosen one undergoes a metamorphosis. When it emerges, it has become Gruaghlothor. There is no solid explanation for how this works, and the iron dragons answer only, "It has always been so."
