Attitudes might range like this.  Hostile - "You have 10 seconds to make any last request before I crack you open as suck the marrow from your bones."Unfriendly - "You have 10 seconds to leave, or I'll crack you open and suck the marrow from your bones."Indifferent - "And why have you so foolishly come into my lair, choose your words wisely as it will decide your fate."Friendly - "You are wise not to throw your life by coming before me with weapons drawn.  Perhaps one such as you could be of use."Helpful - "Your boldness intrigues me mortal.  Long have I been without converstion.  Speak, mortal, and if what you say pleases me you shall bear my favor."Of course I've ranged deeply into the area of personal opinion, but I see that as a possible way of applying attitude scale to a creature like a red dragon.  I hope that I've possibly been helpful in determining a starting point.</blockquote>
