Purple and Steel Dragons

[Arikiel]

Does anybody have any conversions for Purple or Steel Dragons?

Purple or pink should do sonic damage, because there are purple and pink kobolds and no sonic damage dragons.

Purple shouldn't do sonic. It's eldritch, from before they used the word eldritch. If ever there were a warlock dragon, the purple one is it. From Dragon magazine, it has 3 "breath" attacks:

• An energy sword that extends from its mouth like a giant tongue, and ignores most non-living material (uses touch AC and "ignores all physical barriers" -- so the dragon should be able to swing it through buildings and strike people inside).
  
• A purple "energy cone" that doesn't list what type of energy it is, nor how to resist it. Reflex for half. This untyped energy damage is the one that feels eldritch.
  
• Blinding burst -- a flash effect that requires a Fort save or be permanently blinded.
  

Purple dragons hate all other dragons -- good or evil or otherwise -- and spend their lives killing off the other dragon races, and hoping to establish themselves as rulers of human/humanoid cities.

I have no idea what a pink dragon does.

I think Arikiel is looking for 4th edition conversion not the forgotten chromatic dragons posted in dragon mag for 1st edition, then again later for 2nd edition then again in Dragon Mag Compendium for 3.0 or 3.5 i don't remember when that book came out. But they included a 2nd yellow dragon, 1st for 3.x, Orange and purple, the pink dragon was left out of all conversion after 1st. but if he is looking for those. that his best place to find a starting point for shifting them to Pathfinder is the dragon compendium volume I from dragon mag. I think only feats and maybe giving them a few extra ability much like pathfinder dragons would be needed

If he is look 4th edition conversion,

the 4th edition purple was 1st, 2nd and 3.x Deep Dragon(under dark dragon) from forgotten realms setting renamed.

Grey Dragons where Fang dragons from Forgotten Realms monster compendium 3.0 book renamed

Steel while they did exist in 1st and 2nd edition(really nasty buggers), they are completely different from version used in those 4th edition, and i don't remember any 3.x version of it, I believe they where completely skipped. 4th edition steel dragon where original construction, not based off any other type of dragon to my knowledge.
