In your campaign setting, how do dragons perceive those that wear dragon-hide/dragon-scale armor?

1) Sight

2) Hearing

3) Smell

4) Touch

5) Taste

 

The order of the first three can vary but the last two are always in order.

 

Exactly why they're highly irritated at people who wear dragon body pieces might vary but they're always highly irritated.

 

It would be almost impossible for someone to have a neutral or positive reaction to a person who is wearing a necklace of human ears. Maybe psychopaths but even they aren't likely to maintain a positive mental attitude toward someone who wears such a necklace.

 

Yeah, dragons aren't humans but, in this, they aren't that different.

As to why Dragons might horde gold and wealth, be intelligent but not make/craft things:

 

If dragons are intelligent and immortal (or very close to it) then maybe they are lazy? Why build things (cities, buildings, tables, chairs, etc...) when they will just eventually crumble and fall apart with age? Why mine and mint gold, silver, gems, etc...? Much simpler and easier to just let other beings make things and mine precious items and then just take it from them. Once all the lesser beings eventually die off and only the dragons remain then maybe they will use their horded wealth to fight among each other. Maybe not. 

 

But if your were an immortal being I think that your productivity would drop way, way down. Why do today something that you could do next year or next decade. Time would have no meaning. 

 

Then add to that that Dragons might be like big cats, who sleep most of the time, when hungry they hunt and eat, then sleep again. Knock things off shelves (destroy villages and towns) and chase mice (humans) for fun and then go back to napping. 

 

If you are immortal, super powerful and at the top of the planet's food chain you really don't have to get out of bed for years at a time if you don't want to, and when you do, you just take all the valuable stuff the less beings have spent those years making and crafting and bring it back to your horde and then go back to napping again.
