Orium dragons live among ruins of ancient civilizations, commanding lesser creatures to rebuild the glories of yesteryear and recapture the magic of fallen empires. To those under its protection, an orium dragon is a wise but sometimes harsh monarch. Those who threaten the dragon’s dreams of renewed empire find themselves choking on its corrosive breath—while they watch the vapor coalesce into a smoky serpent that attacks at the dragon’s command.

Wait, aren't there a few types of dragon they have that aren't in 3.5? I say another of those.
If not, I vote Black.

I'd suggest changing the name to Orichalcum Dragon as that is the actual mystical metal that inspired the Orium Dragon and has the bonus as been mentioned in several ancient writings including the Atlantis legend. Plus naming it the Orichalcum Dragon avoids the issue of using a WoTC name that is designed to lock down IP.
