Light Dragons

Light Dragons, sometimes called Quartz Dragons, Crystal Dragons or Life Dragons, are one of the five species of Psionic Dragons (Gem Dragons). Unlike other True Dragons, Psionic Dragons are omnivores that can sustain themselves on cosmic energy for long periods of time without needing to eat, allowing them to survive in the far reaches of the Astral Sea. They also have innate Psionic abilities and telepathy. The Psionic Dragons are believed to embody cosmic forces, similarly to the Primordial deities. Light Dragons are believed to embody, as their name suggests, light as well as life. Light Dragons are said to be the friendliest of all dragonkind, they are nurturing, optimistic and enjoy company. They are also known to heal the weak and protect defenceless creatures from attacks. Though they are supposably extremely rare and low in number. Light Dragons are also one of the few Dragon species to live among other Light Dragons, usually in a family unit. They are also said to adopt eggs of other dragons, raising them as their own.

Appearance:

Light Dragons are quadrupedal with thin membranes for wings. Instead of scales their bodies are crystal-like, translucent and faceted, resembling the reflective and glassy appearance of diamonds. It is said that light seems to emanate and reflect from within them. A Light Dragon’s psionic powers are apparent in the diamond-like spines that hover around their head, like horns, and down their backs, emanating and reflecting light. Light Dragons begin their lives with a dull quartz-like colouring and smooth bodies, gradually gaining their translucent appearance and hard, geometric bodies as they age.

Element:

Light Dragons possess psionic powers and can release a beam of radiant light as a breath weapon to burn and blind attackers. They also possess the ability to produce a breath of healing light that can restore health and heal injuries.

Lair:

Light Dragons are said to make their lairs in mountain caves near populated settlements. Their lairs are often filled with shining gems, like diamonds, and baubles that refract light. Unlike other dragons, Light Dragons don’t have a strong attachment to physical objects, instead preferring to collect social connections and stories. They enjoy befriending mortals and learning their stories, hoping to maintain those friendships for generations, watching families grow and flourish, creating more and more stories.
