**Steel Dragon** is a female super under the Delta Alpha branch. She uses a shadow-metal manipulation core and is an A-ranked damager. She is not a member of any squadrons, though she often works closely with Somno Captis.

## Biography

### Appearance

Steel Dragon is a short and lean unicorn mare with an entirely black form made up of shadow metal. The only part of her body that do not appear black are the her eyes and the tip of her horn, which both appear white. Her mane is long and messy, while her tail is tied in a short bun.

### Personality

Steel Dragon is a quiet and brooding mare who is often somewhat abrasive. She can be difficult to speak to at times due to her easily-annoyed demeanour, though she tends to be much calmer and friendlier with fans. As she can be difficult to work with, she often sticks by Somno Captis, who she finds easy to interact with due to their similar personalities. Despite her ornery attitude, she is shown to care deeply about her fellow members of Delta Host, often putting herself in harm's way to protect them. Many of her fellow supers claim that Steel Dragon's tough persona is entirely part of her character and that her true self is actually very friendly.

### Powers & Abilities

Steel Dragon utilizes a shadow-metal manipulation core that allows her to convert her entire body into shadows, metal or a blended combination of the two. This allows her to become both intangible and incredibly durable, making her very difficult to hit. It also allows her to attack violently with metal and shadows, dealing swift and hard-hitting damage to her opponents. This usually manifests in the form of battering attacks using metal rods, as well as metal projectiles. She also acts as a disruptor at times, shrouding her opponents in shadow to blind them before attacking.

#### Delta Blaze

Steel Dragon also appears in Delta Blaze as a character the player can encounter by Bull Run River, where she will be working out by breaking boulders over the water. She will only spawn on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at which point she has a 14.3% chance of appearing. If approached, she will ask the player if they'd like to join her. Refusing will prevent the player from receiving Steel Dragon's autograph. If the player accepts, they will enter a minigame in which they must break three boulders that Steel Dragon tosses out above the water. Destroying all three boulders will cause Steel Dragon to praise the player and provide her autograph.

### Books

Steel Dragon appears in all versions of the Delta Host Beginner's Herodex, with her most recent entry stating the following:

> *Often found working closely with Somno Captis, Steel Dragon is a brutal damager, using her core to take on a form of pure shadow-metal. With sharp claws and incredible speed, Steel Dragon is a weapon on her own, often unleashing her attacks on the trapped foes of Somno Captis for a quick end to an emergency fight. Her terrifyingly loud blasts of metal are her staple, dealing massive damage to foes. Don’t be intimidated by her scary appearance - she’s really very nice!*
