Yes, Surah loses a lot of her skittishness and fear, but in turn she comes off as much more aggressive and abrasive (even when not trying to be).

Being covered almost head to toe in armor means there is less possibility of coming to harm at the claws of any other creature, making her much braver. But that wasn’t exactly a good thing.

Particularly back when Surah first started exploring the land above ground, she wasn’t the nicest monster.. She saw most others as threats and adversaries, and found it fun to threaten and bully any creatures that crossed her path. Consequently, Surah earned quite a bad reputation and fear from others, especially those nearest to the desert she hangs around in.

...but Surah eventually found herself to be quite lonely when everyone hated and avoided her entirely (of course for obvious reasons, but Surah is not the best at connecting actions to consequences). No one dared go near her; In fact, that area was practically deserted for a time, so long as she was there (until another elder dragon “chased” her away).

Surah keeps her rocks in a hidden cave beneath the rocky crags at the edge of a desert plain. It can only be accessed by digging from underground (or if you’re small enough to fit through the holes in the ceiling) though Surah could open an entrance for a possible guest if she wanted to. It connects to a tunnel that leads further underground where she likes to sleep.

The outside wouldn’t be too remarkable (the cave is hidden after all). Beyond it lies more arid mountainous land (it kinda looks like a canyon of some kind though so maybe it is?)

Across the the desert is a more habitable area not unlike the Wildspire waste area in MHW. Surah’s distant neighbors may occasionally hear her strange song in the wind.
