Lantessama Isle - Information

Gem dragons as a rule are anywhere between two and a half feet to four feet. They do not have legs, but they are streamlined and have large wings to take them where they need to go. They have a small gem resting on their forehead. As hatchlings they are a white-blue crystal colour. They don't show their power until they grow to be an adult. As an adult, they tend to have a crystal of the same type of their magic floating around them. They also do not tell their Bondmates their name or gender until adult for reasons.
Though not a native species, the small, serpentine dragons have lived long enough on Lantessama Isle that they're known by most of it's residents. Though only about 3-4 feet long, they boast quite powerful magic. The magic of these 7 Gem dragons combined has started to influence the Isle itself. Lately, dragons born on the isle seem to be coloured differently from before. Gem-tones and patterns seem to become more common each day. 

Gem Dragons aren't my own creation, they were available from this site long ago. I really like their concept and so I decided to do a tribute clutch at my own agency. I don't know yet if there'll be more Gem Dragon Clutches, but if people want to breed their Gem Dragons I won't object.

Conventions:
   * Gem Dragons talk using telepathy
   * Gem Dragons reach sexual maturity (adulthood) at around 2 years of age. 
   * Gem Dragon skin is like a snake or lizard, it has tiny scales that protect it from tears/injury when on uneven ground.


(preview Amber - note: hatchlings don't usually have a colour, the colour emerges as adults)
