| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, diamond dragons grow to be massive, winged lizards with diamond scales. |
| Procreation | Dragons mate with each other only. Without intense supernatural interference, half-dragons are an impossibility. Dragons lay one to three eggs at a time. Upon hatching, a dragon immediately begins absorbing background energies. All dragon eggs are filled with pure, liquid draconic energy, which sustains the baby dragon upon hatching. |
| Esoterica | Diamond dragons accumulate vast stores of mashoaab. White tiger aether, dumaqu, earthpower, light, soul, kor, gebvel, and shebv heya are all very common. Divine energy is very common. Mana is frequent. Msawhat corrupts them. Other powers vary. |
| Special Powers | Dragons gain new powers as they accumulate more energies. At each stage of growth, they gain a new ability, usually culminating with the twelfth ability when they accumulate . The usual progression of powers is as follows:
All dragons accumulate energies by absorbing them naturally from the area around them. As such, they must carefully cultivate their lairs to provide the right kinds of energies, hence they hoard appropriate objects. Other common powers include find gold, diamond explosion, instill wealth, and create treasure. |
| Alternate Forms | Diamond dragons sometimes take the form of a gondal. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat corrupts them. |
| Subspecies | Capital dragons have hoarded more mashoaab than others, turning them into massive diamond worms that cannot stop absorbing energies. They eventually explode. |
| Culture | Diamond dragons lay their eggs in deep mines, surrounded by raw resources. They take care of them until they are just old enough to survive, then go back to hoarding. They are stingy and often trick others into helping them build hoards, but they also often pay for services. They are very solitary and very distrusting. They mate on a transactional basis, and when they get old, they become move deeper into the mines to hide their wealth lest it be stolen. |
