Metal Dragon
The Dragon is the most commanding presence in the cycle - naturally magnetic, and rarely content to occupy a small role. Where the Dragon goes, attention follows.
Metal brings precision, discipline, and high standards - it wants clarity, structure, and results that hold up under scrutiny. Paired with the Dragon's natural ambitious character, this produces someone who is larger than life but rarely passive about it.
Their strength is vision - the ability to see (and pursue) outcomes others consider unrealistic. With Metal's influence, that tendency is expressed in a distinctly sharp way.
Where to watch: The caution is pride: a resistance to advice, or to admitting a plan has failed. In excess, Metal can turn rigid or unforgiving, of others and of themselves.
