Demons are not necersarily evil either, but they ARE chaotic to the core, and do not necessarily care for the things inhabitants of the Prime plane care for.I use no such distinction as chromatic or metallic dragon other than as a biological reference (which includes crystaline dragons); metallic dragons are not necesarily good, non-metallic dragons are not necesarily evil (though the tendency is there). White dragons have Int 4, judge potential mates by the seize of their hoard, will happily sacrifice their young in order to protect said hoard and will generally be kicked out of the nest after attempted theft or sneak away never to return of the theft was succesfull.Black dragons are dumb (Int5), take delight in abusive language, and defend their territory as part of their treasure. Females tend to stay put raising their young and improving their lair, males tend travel more looking for mates.Blue dragond are reclusive and very fond of magic, the stranger the better, and will happily trade for obscure or unique items, regardless of how usefull it actually is.Yellow dragons are friendly and playfull, and curious to a fault. Saphire dragons are wise and regal, with a detached air, and ignore what they consider to be petty squabbles between good and evil, law and chaos. Silver dragons are kind and helpfull, copper dragons are decidedly not. All of these are generic notions though, and the alignment listed for any race is the main tendency, not a rule they must all adhere to. Yes, there are many, many entities seeking to enslave, corrupt,  torture or otherwise abuse other, but none are BORN that way as a  default. In my campaign, that is; as always, YMMV.</blockquote>
