(Added refs, including one on the shapeshifting as it was implied they could in Tress, talking about a "natural form")
(→‎Characteristics: Added that they can grow hair despite being reptilian)
 
In their true forms, they are not necessarily large; some are smaller than [[sandling]]s, while others can be as large as [[chasmfiend]]s.{{wob ref|2655}}{{book ref|sa4|80}} They have four legs, as well as a pair of massive wings that allow them to fly. Their skin is covered with pearlescent scales, as well as silvery streaks that run along the body. [[Xisisrefliel]], and likely other dragons, have claws and some scales composed of Dragonsteel.{{book ref|Tress|51}} Despite their nonhuman form, they are still able to speak with a human-sounding voice.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{book ref|tress|51}}
 
Despite being reptilian, they are able to grow hair across the head, and under the neck and chin as a beard.{{book ref|tress|51}}
 
Both [[Frost]] and [[Xisisrefliel]] are shown to hold a non-interventionist policy toward humans in the Cosmere.{{book ref|tress|52}}{{wob ref|2214}} It is possible that this is a general trait of Dragons.
