okay, One thing. Above all DRAGONS ARE RARE. (period. note the period.)
all dragons are fire and lava-proof. they love the stuff.
There are three kinds. Two "Boss-type" and one "uber-wolf" type.
Hoarding Dragons
Spawn: ? nests generated with map? uber-rare and build own nest? help.
Nest: Mountaintop. a huge nest made of cobblestone. 20x20 to 30x30. the dragon would spend most of it's time here. Underneath the dragon would be a chest. In that chest would be two gold tools and two gold armor, chosen at random. EDIT: soupoftomato suggested gold stuff isn't that great. so I have 2 ideas 1: have 3-7 diamonds in the chest. 2: It would also have the contents of a dungeon chest. That chest would be at the center of a 3x3 gold ore patch. In pictures,
Size: 10x10x10 to 15x15x15.
Behavior: occasionally terrorizes passive mobs. if you have exposed gold (armor on or in hand) in any form, It will come get you from up 5 chunks away. They are stupid, so just hide the gold and you're safe.
Aggresiveness: If you have exposed gold, aggressive. In their nest, aggressive. Take gold, super aggressive. see below.
Attacks: Fireball: like a ghast. Bite: close range, 3.5 hearts. Melt armor: only uses this one when you take its gold. deals (I don't know can someone help me out here?) durability damage to all your armor, and deals 4 hearts of damage to you for each destroyed armor. 3 block range.
Health: 50 hearts.
Other: drops 1-3 gold ingots, 1 dragon tooth.
dragon teeth make dragon tooth daggers (4 heart damage, iron durability) like so

where = dragon tooth
Mother Dragons
Spawn: see hoarding dragon spawn.
Nest: a big cave in mountainside. depending on size of dragon (they vary in size) 1-3 lava pools, 3x3x3.
size: 5x5x5 OR 7x7x7 OR 10x10x10
Behavior: goes out to hunt every couple of days. neutral when does so. if you enter her nest, however, she becomes aggressive until you leave. Now, remember the lava pools? submerged in each of those is an egg. if you tamper with the lava pools in any way, she will hunt you till the end of your days.
Health: 30, 50, or 70.
attacks: bite: lunges forward and bites. 3.5 damage. fireball: like a ghast.
now the eggs. they are fragile, so careful! you mustn't break them. to remove them, remove all the lava, and submerge the egg in water. this makes it revert to item form. move it back to your house. submerge it in lava while it is resting on obsidian. after a long time (minecraft month?) they emerge. 1x1x1 non-flying helpless cuties. feed it bones, pork and leather. lots of them and let them have lava and fire. they love it. after a long time (minecraft month?) of this pampering, they will grow into young dragons.
Young Dragons
Spawn on grass, light level 13+. you should see them as commonly as pink sheep. 3x2x2. (length, height, width)
they are neutral, and attack if provoked.
Attacks: bite:1 block range, 2 hearts. Fireball: only when tamed and biggest. just like a ghast.
Behavior: hunts by day, sleeps in a tree at night. They can fly, but do so rarely, only short flights more like big jumps in general. Tame-Able (pre-tamed if they were raised by you)! craft dragon mash
where is leather.
now bake a cake, replacing wheat with dragon mash.
place the dragon-mash-cake somewhere out in the open, and wait. if a dragon comes (they are attracted to it from 5 chunks away) feed it 9-18 coal (all young dragons are addicted to firey stuff) or 3-6 gunpowder after it has eaten the cake to seal the deal. Tamed! feed it dragon mash and gunpowder to heal it. It behaves like a wolf, but killing hostile mobs and eating dragon mash make it grow (it takes about 6 dragon mash and 30 hostile mobs to grow). from 3x2x2 to 3x3x2 to 4x3x2 to 4x3x3 to 4x4x3 to 5x4x3. at the last level, It can shoot fireballs. each time they grow they molt, dropping 3-7 dragon scales. dragon scales are used to craft fire-proof and lava-proof armor, meaning the damage from lava and fire is reduced by 25% for each item of armor. they prevent normal damage as much as leather and have the same durability.
dragon saddle:
drops: none
dragons can be controlled while riding them. if you right-click on something the dragon fires a fireball in that direction. the max. fire rate is one per second, to prevent super-mining (because the fireball has an explosive force of 1).
Health: starts at 15. then 20. then 25. then 30. then 35. then 40.
FAQ:
Q: how can I kill a big dragon?
A: Rule 1: be prepared. no weak armor or sword will suffice. at least new gold.
Rule 2: dragons move only as fast as humans, you can have time to dig a foxhole if things go badly,
Rule 3: massive army of wolves will help.
Rule 4: if you're the wimp kind, build a trap.
Q: it's so hard to tame them!
A: make a lot of mash, gunpowder, coal/charcoal, and dragon cake.
Q: why are dragons so overpowered?
A: giant firebreathing scaly monstrosities are just epic.
Great idea! One thing I would change is the fire/lava-proof armor. If it's going to be fire/lava proof, it should really be fire/lava proof, not just -25% damage. Maybe at hire levels of growth the dragon molts better scales? Also, can the dragon be controlled while riding it? It'd be awesome to ride it around shooting fireballs at all the . Anyway for you.

Oh, If you have helmet, breastplate, pants, and boots made of dragon scales it'd be 100% protection.

fits minecraft?
tell that to notch, he's gonna. probably not my way.
idk about the
thing but watever floats ur boat
maybe you're right, but dragons sleep on gold
and anyways,
You also seem to think gold is strong, "Use at least gold armor, no weak armor will do." I'm pretty sure leather armor is stronger that.
That is right. I'm changing it.
