2) Natural volcanic activity seems like the tamest possible reason for the dark grey section of the dragon. Mind you (I assume) that level of volcanic activity is rather scary, as we're talking about a large chunk of a continent.

3) The red in Anima could potentially be massive oxidized deposits of iron, but I'm not surd. 1) I didn't even realize they were any sort of blue at all, at first. When you mentioned the idea of volcanic activity for the grey half in my Menagerie thread, I checked the map just to be sure. Then I noticed it was actually blue, a different color from the grey.

Even now that I'm aware of the blue, it's impossible to see unless you really zoom in.

2) After looking at the map again, I doubt it's (necesarily) volcanic activity. Parts of Sanus are of similar, if not the same, Grey coloration, particularly in the Mountain range near Vale.

....Wait, no, let me correct that: Particularly in nearly half of Sanus.

3) I think saying "Massive" would be an understatement, if that was the case.
