Amethyst Dragon

Amethyst Dragons were a breed of Gem Dragon known for their wise and regal manner and their similarity to Amethyst.    Amethyst Dragons had skin that was lavender in hue and scales shaped like naturally formed mineral crystals. On a hatchling, these scales were small, translucent, and light purple, but as they aged they became steadily darker and more crystalline in appearance. An adult appeared a sparkling lavender. A hatchling had a 2ft long body and 4ft long tail, while an adult had a body length of 53ft to 68ft and a tail length of 46ft to 56ft. The biggest ancients grew to 132ft long in the body, with tails 100ft long.   A Dragon egg could be identified as Amethyst by the purple tinge seen when held in front of an intense white light, though it shared this trait with Shadow Dragon and Deep Dragon eggs.   They were considered wise and majestic even by dragon standards. But they were aloof and paid little heed to conflicts between good and evil or chaos and law, as they believed them to be but petty squabbles. They favored talking things out rather than fighting, but considered retreating, ambushing, and hiding to be dishonorable.   Amethyst Dragons were good parents to their young, but felt they should be independent and learn to look after themselves by the time they were adult Dragons. Families raised clutches of two to five offspring, and they were likely to be encountered alone or in such clans. While they thought Copper Dragons and Silver Dragons were foolish and they disliked Red Dragons and White Dragons, they were not fundamentally opposed to any creature. In fact, on occasion, Amethyst Dragons could mediate in conflicts between feuding Dragons and even warring nations of Humanoids.   Amethyst Dragons shared a profound fascination of foreign worlds and dimensions, and many became scholars of planar lore. These individuals were often particularly interested in the opposing forces of good, evil, chaos, and law emanating from the Outer Planes, and in the manner in which individual Dragons manifested echoes of themselves across the worlds of the Material Plane. Over their lives, these Amethyst Dragons developed considerable knowledge and understanding of these matters, which they often shared with those willing to listen to their counsel.   On the Material Plane, Amethyst Dragons enjoyed making their lairs on the shores of lakes and pools such as tarns lying in remote places in highlands and mountains. They might even dwell in caves below the water in such places. However, a majority of Amethyst Dragons resided on the Elemental Plane of Earth, in caverns carved out of the endless rock. These comprised numerous tunnels and chambers bedecked with crystals of all the colors of the rainbow.
