Song dragons are a rare and mysterious race of dragons that prefer life among humanity to the company of other dragons.[1]They can freely take on the form of a human woman, and in this guise they live among humankind, revealing their true nature only in times of personal peril or great crisis.[1]

Description
Edit
In their true form, song dragons are slim and splendid, with silver-blue scales and the shape of a copper dragon. In their human form, they appear to be women in their mid- to late-20s to early 30s.[1]
Regardless of form, they retain full knowledge and awareness, and are consummate actors, making it extremely difficult to tell them apart from actual humans; it helps that they have the innate ability to speak any language.[1] One notable song dragon, Ammaratha Cyndusk, was so skilled at portraying a human that she fooled Elminster; he eventually had a child with her, and only found out that Ammaratha (who had used the pseudonym Maerjanthra Shalace) was a dragon well after the daughter was fully grown.
LoreEdit
Song dragons live throughout the Realms, anywhere there's sufficient land to walk on in either human or draconic form.[1] They often serve or cooperate with good mages, the Harpers, and other groups or individuals of similar inclination.[1]Their prevalence in the Moonshae Isles leads some sages to speculate that they originated there.[1]They remain, however, mysterious, so much so that a pair of accidental sightings of a song dragon assuming her human form once started a rumor that evil wizards were turning their foes into dragons.[1]
