	Distinguished by their shimmering, flame-bright orange hides, jacinth dragons are amongst the rarest of all gem dragons, something not helped by their natural preference for isolationism. Amongst the smallest of the dragons, to the point it negatively impacts on their fearful aura, they are nonetheless very magically powerful - their innate spellcasting ability gives them the combined spells and caster level of both a [[wizard]] ''[[Mystic Theurge\|and]]'' a [[cleric]]. They can't shapeshift, but they can Blink, as per a 10th level caster, 6 times a day.

	Described as an "oriental cousin" to the Emerald Dragon, jade dragons have the traditional "[[oriental dragon]]" body-structure - a wingless, four-limbed serpent with somewhat leonic facial features. Smaller and weaker than emerald dragons, and lacking their psionic powers, they possess the spellcasting ability of a [[Mystic Theurge\|multiclassed wizard/cleric]] and retain the deadly sonic shriek of their relatives. They can also hypnotize others simply by talking, much like the jacinth dragon, although with less aptitude. They also share the jacinth's inability to shapeshift without preparing spells in advance, and their ability to blink.

	The wingless sea-dwelling pearl dragon is a creature content with the simple life, seeking to avoid trouble and feed on fish whilst gathering its beloved pearls. Unusually for an oceanic dragon, it has no innate water-breathing ability, and instead simply has an enormous capacity for holding its breath - over an hour at a time. They are quasi-nomadic, moving on as they deplete pearl beds in their territory, but because of their need to meticulously take every single piece from one lair to the other, transferring lairs takes a pretty damn long time, as you might expect.

	Denizens of the deep forest, amber dragons are "neutral" in the sense a force of nature is neutral; they just do what they like and don't give a shit about anyone else. Uniquely amongst dragons, they actually disdain material possessions, and so neither form hoards nor establish permanent lairs. Feeding on coniferous tree sap, they are territorial, but don't seek to actively protect nature as a driving goal. Still, they're apparently close enough to the balance for nature to reward them, given that all amber dragons can cast [[druid]]ic spells. Their breath weapon is a conical gout of scalding hot tree sap, which rapidly solidifies into amber when exposed to cooler air.

	Diplomatic and easy-going by nature, the purple-hued amethyst dragons favor the psionic disciplines of psychokinesis and psychometabolism, although they also possess skills in telepathy and metapsionics. Feeding on fish and gemstones, their breath weapon is a "faceted lozenge" of violet-hued energy, which functions more like a fireball or grenade launcher than the traditional draconic breath weapon. This kinetic glob is spat at a target point, whereupon it erupts in a powerful concussive force-blast that can knock creatures clean off their feet and blow down buildings like a bomb. Given their predominantly piscovorous diet, amethyst dragons favor the shores of isolated mountain lakes and pools, sometimes going so far as to dig out caves underwater to dwell - they have an instinctive ability to breathe water.

	5e lore presents them as the strongest of the gem dragons, armed with physics-manipulating powers in the form of a gravitational singularity as a breath weapon.

	Easily distinguished by their lack of wings and spinal frill, the lizard-like crystal dragons are amongst the most friendly and gregarious of all the gem dragons, with their Chaotic Neutral tendencies fitting their intense curiosity about the world around them. Obviously, their psionics skill lies in the field of clairsentience, although they are amongst the weakest of the gem dragons. Born with glossy white scales, they turn increasingly translucent as the crystal dragon ages, which causes them to sparkle and glitter in any sort of light.

	Known as the most paranoid of the gem dragons, emerald dragons use their innate affinity for telepathy and clairsentience to indulge their love of studying history without having to actually interact with other races, getting having divination and also shapeshifting in 5e to blend into the background extras. These scintillating green-scaled dragons favor lairing on extinct or rarely-active volcanoes, where they feed on lizards and giants - especially fire giants, whom they absolutely detest for some reason. Immune to sound-based attacks and with innate Flame Walking abilities, emerald dragons possess a medley of enchantment and fire-based spell-like abilities. Their breath weapon is a brain-scrambling sonic shriek (psychic damage in 5e).

	Naturally adept in clairsentience, psychokinesis and psychoportation (favoring the latter) and militantly territorial, few have any real hopes of sneaking up on a sapphire dragon. Favoring subterranean regions, these dragons are sometimes mistaken for blue dragons by those who either forget where the Chromatics live or fail to notice the difference in horns (blues have a single nasal horn, sapphires have two curved horns on the sides of their heads, like blacks). Despite how fiercely they protect their turf, unless you're a known hostile (such as a [[drow]], [[duergar]], [[aboleth]] or [[illithid]]), the sapphire's typical approach is to convince you to leave first, then attack if you won't go.

For this reason, they are some of the few non-[[Shadow Dragon]]s with an affinity for necrotic energy.

They are great swimmers and their favorite food is calamari, which they harvest by catching giant squids, but at the same time, they actually ''hate water'', so their behavior is somewhere between a cat trying to grab a fish and a grumpy old man.

	Unfriendly, selfish, and highly erratic, the topaz dragons are perhaps the biggest jerks of the gem dragons, and certainly some of the least desirable to meet. Able to breathe water and immune to cold, their breath weapon is a ray that evaporates water, fatally desiccating living creatures caught in it. They also possess various spell-like abilities relating to manipulating water, which increase as they age. Native to oceanic coastlines, they have a peculiar enmity for bronze dragons and will attack them on sight, making them unique amongst the gem dragons in that regard.

	In 5th edition, they are characterized by their belief that the old should make way for the new, and see themselves as appointed to clear away the rot. For this reason, they are some of the few non-[[Shadow Dragon]]s with an affinity for necrotic energy ~~- they often use [[undead]] as their servants~~. This belief further ties into their hoards, which usually focuses on magic and lore relating to creation and destruction, especially the "create spontaneous matter" type spells. They are great swimmers and their favorite food is calamari, which they harvest by catching giant squids, but at the same time, they actually ''hate water'', so their behavior is somewhere between a cat trying to grab a fish and a grumpy old man.

	They may be some of the most unfortunate creatures to get a 5e visual redesign yet, which saddled them with translucent wings (actually, that part's kind of cool) which ''are on upside down''. Seriously, look at this shit; how the fuck is that wing supposed to work?
