'''Stellar Dragons''' are one of the four breeds of [[dragon]] who are naturally able to traverse the [[Phlogiston]] and thus are found in [[Wildspace]], making them iconic to the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting of [[Spelljammer]].

Big, peaceful, and highly intelligent, these enormous philosophers of the phlogiston wander the flow seeking discourse with the keepers of the crystal spheres. The stellar dragon’s ultimate goal is truth. It abhors dishonesty and misinformation. Though its information may be cryptic, it is never false. A lesser being’s misinterpretation is that being’s own fault. Misinformation causes a stellar dragon severe, painful indigestion. And as with its smaller kin, a dragon in pain is dangerous.

The scales of stellar dragons are iridescent deep purple, with a chrome drop at the tip of each scale. Gems of myriad colors and sizes adorn the scales in random patterns, giving the stellar dragon its name. Two main fins, like the fins of a lionfish, adorn either side of the central torso, and four enormous lace-like wings provide guidance and stability. Numerous other fins of various sizes cover the rest of the dragon’s body. They have no visible arms or legs.

Stellar dragons literally consume their knowledge, transforming it into clear or milky gems of varying size. These gems of wisdom and pearls of knowledge push their way outward to rest embedded in the dragon’s scales. The number of gems and pearls studding its scales mark its status among other dragons. The encrustation also roughly indicates its age; younger dragons have few gems, whereas venerable stellars are literally covered in jewels. The chief of all stellar dragons, known as the ''Mikado'', can be distinguished by its massive singular horn of solid crystal.

The stellar dragon understands the underpinnings of the multiverse. These primeval watchers have seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. Such is the power of this knowledge that according to some texts, the power of artifacts and relics comes from the gems that encrust them, The crystallized everlasting knowledge of thousands of beings, say these legends, provides the power that runs these wonderful objects. How these gems were wrested from the stellar dragons remains unsaid.

These dragons breed every 500 years, and the role of the mikado is primarily to select those stellar dragons who will breed. It's vague if this is in the sense of the mikado being the alpha male who mates with whatever available females, or if the mikado is more of a matchmaker.
