Crystal Dragon
Sparkly Beauties

Back to Dragons

Crysal dragons, sometimes called Gemwyrms, are best known for their sparkly scales. Their variety in color makes it difficult for these dragons to blend in with landscapes other than their crystal caves. They compensate for their lack of camouflage with reflective scales that repel both light and projectiles.
