Books Poll: Dragonriders of Pern Color Selector Vote for your top choice from the list below. This poll is based upon the selector "Dragonriders of Pern Color Selector" by Zela. Translate: Choose from this list: Gold-The largest and rarest color, and also the only female dragons that can reproduce. If you want power, this is for you. However, flying thread may be less exciting as golds can't chew firestone, and much of a goldrider's life is dtermined the moment she Impresses. Only females can impress gold. Bronze-Bronzes are the largest male dragon. They have great strength and endurance, which makes them best at catching golds during mating flights. Bronzeriders are also often given positions of power, such as Weyrleader. Only males can Impress bronze. Brown-A good balance of speed and endurance. Browns are mid-sized male dragons, who have a shot at catching golds and parenting a clutch. Both men and women can be brownriders, though men are considerably more common. Blue-The smallest male dragons, known for their amazing speed and agility. Though they offer less opportunities for power than larger dragons, they also offer more excitement. Either gender can Impress to them. Green-The smallest and by far the most common dragon. Though they are female, they can't reproduce, though they do mate. Both males and females can ride them, though in many cases male greenriders are looked upon as being gay. Of course, there are always exceptions. See the newest and search for polls here:
