Description
A gem dragon’s breath weapon is a manifestation of the energy that suffuses the dragon. With sufficient practice, dragons can learn to draw on magic from the Elemental Planes or the Astral plane to shape their breath weapons into bipedal form, creating Construct creatures called Breath Constructs. Gem dragons often use these creatures as guardians for their hoards or the territory around their lairs.
A Breath Construct is a bipedal creature formed from the same energy as the breath weapon of the dragon that created it. An Amethyst dragon’s creation resembles a humanoid shape of arcane energy, while an Emerald dragon’s is similar to a Draconic shard. A Sapphire dragon’s animated debilitating breath looks like constant serious of thunderous vibrations in the shape of an armored warrior, while a Crystal dragon’s animated Scintillating breath looks like a walking brilliantly radiant humanoid radiating a warm glow around it. A Topaz dragon’s animated Desiccating breath resembles a more draconic and misty version of a Nightwalker but with a yellowish tinge to it.
