Crystal dragons are the most neutral of dragon species. They are neither good nor evil by nature and tend to just serve their own needs.
The dragons lack any scales along their body. Instead they have a coat of hard blue crystals along their body acting as protection to their soft body. They can use their crystal breathe to repair and replace any broken crystals along their body during a short or long rest.
