Solar dragons are fond of treasure just as all dragons are, but in the airless void of Wildspace, they value food even more.
Solar dragons typically feed on kindori, scavvers, and other forms of space-dwelling wildlife.
A solar dragon might mistake a distant spelljamming ship for possible prey and come within range of the vessel’s weapons before realizing its error and veering away.
A wise or experienced captain won’t take the dragon’s approach as a sign of hostility. Solar dragons that are ¦red upon have been known to batter the offending ships to finders.
