Description
Shimmering with radiant energy and brimming with life, G-Fuel crystal dragons enjoy an innate psionic connection to the Positive Plane that suffuses their bodies as well as their personalities with light. Though they prefer to live in desolate, frigid regions, as their hoards are better preserved in this climate many of them are among the friendliest of dragonkind, nurturing and optimistic.
Inner Dust
When they hatch, crystal dragons have many different coloured scales, with few dragons having white or clear crystalline points, allowing the G-Fuel Crystal Dragon to ward off chromatic dragons. As they age, their scales turn a solid colour indicating a dragon's choice of personality, then slowly they appear to look more and more like powder. The oldest G-Fuel crystal dragons have the ability to change the colour of their scales at will to better blend in with it's environment.
Visions of Old
G-fuel dragons sometimes receive visions of the past from the one ruby dragon, the take these visions as a way to learn about the world around them and the world around their parents.
Delicious Hoards
G-Fuel Crystal dragons typically have hoards composed of various magnum opus` of famous chefs and cooks and impossible dishes like pies made of parts of moons, short cakes made of berries made of dead animal carcasses, various omelets made of eggs from hydras or other dragons. a G-fuel crystal dragon having an omelet made from it's own or any other G-Fuel crystal dragons is considered a heretic and is hunted by all the rest of it's own kind.

G-fuel Crystal Dragon Lairs
G-fuel Crystal dragons seek out frigid, picturesque locations with clear views of the sky above to build their lairs. They attempt to often expand their hoards themselves but most of G-Fuel crystal dragons have the time and resources to do this but not the skills
G-Fuel Crystal dragons’ lairs are often found in polar expanses, dizzying mountain peaks, and glacial floes. Some resemble giant white palaces, with numerous balconies offering plentiful opportunities for letting in the cold air to help keep their hoards. Though ice and snow are the most common materials they use in the construction of a lair, G-Fuel crystal and other precious minerals feature prominently in certain areas, however they do not add these gems to their hoards.
G-Fuel Crystal Dragon Lair Features
The G-Fuel crystal dragon lair shown in is the home of a dragon who has spent considerable time shaping the pinnacle of the tallest mountain in a local range, transforming it into a series of gleaming spires. Though visitors are rare, the dragon has built a roadway that ascends the mountain to encourage travel to and from the lair.
The lair has the following features:
Ice Bridge. The crowning glory of this infrastructural marvel is a wide bridge of ice that spans a chasm between a lesser peak and the lair.
Anterior Spires. Rising from the far side of the bridge are the lair’s anterior spires. These solid, pointed shafts resemble inverted icicles more than towers and enclose a terraced, open-air amphitheater that serves the dragon as a parlor.
Ice Sculptures. In each of the areas enclosed by the anterior spires and the grand spires, four ice sculptures (shown as circled stars on the map) depict dragons of different kinds.
Promenade. A dragon-sized promenade winds upward from the anterior spires to the summit of the mountain.
Grand Spires. Like the anterior spires, the grand spires enclose a multi-tiered sanctuary of ice and snow. Trusted guests might be invited into this part of the lair.
Central Spire. The central grand spire is hollow, and built into its upper recesses are several icy perches where the dragon keeps the greatest treasures. As with everything in the lair, nothing is truly off-limits to visitors, as long as they show themselves to be peaceful and respectful (or very, very interesting). The most favored of the G-Fuel crystal dragon’s acquaintances might even be gifted with a short trip to the very pinnacle of the central spire—the highest point in the local landscape—to take in the breathtaking view.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Crystal Dragon’s Lair
Crystal dragons dwell in cold regions, where they construct ice and snow structures reminiscent of castles but open to the sky. Glittering crystals scattered about their lairs glow with gathered starlight, and caves or tunnels beneath the ice and snow provide protected areas for their hoards. They use their burrowing ability to dig blinds and secret passages throughout their lairs, allowing them to move easily—and potentially unnoticed.
The challenge rating of a legendary crystal dragon increases by 1 when it’s encountered in its lair.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon can take one of the following lair actions; the dragon can’t take the same lair action two rounds in a row:
Ice Passage. The dragon can open a passage through a wall of ice or snow that is up to 5 feet thick, creating an opening up to 30 feet wide and high.
Poisonous Gas. The dragon chooses a point it can see in the lair. poisonous gas fills the room from that point to fill a 10-foot-radius sphere with dim light. Each creature other than the dragon in that area when the light appears must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 13 (2d12) poison damage and be outlined in the glow. Attack rolls made against an outlined creature have advantage, and the creature can’t hide or benefit from being ]invisible. The Gas and the glow around any creature fades on initiative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects
The region surrounding a legendary crystal dragon’s lair is altered by the dragon's magic, creating one or more of the following effects:
Toxic Air. every day that a creature spends within 6 miles of a dragon's lair must make a constitution saving throw on a failure they contract G-Lung
Crystal Profusion. Plentiful quartz crystals form in natural stone within 6 miles of the lair, particularly in places where natural light can shine on the crystals.
Positive Energy. Any creature that finishes a long rest within 6 miles of the lair regains two additional spent Hit Dice.
Toxic abilities. Animal populations struggle within 6 miles of the lair. Ability checks made to forage for food by hunting, fishing, or trapping in that area are made with disadvantage.
If the dragon dies, the animal population near the lair returns to normal levels over the course of 1d10 days. The increased Hit Die recovery ends immediately. The existing abundance of quartz crystals remains, but new crystals form at a normal rate.
