| Description | At birth, all dragons look like large, pink worms. At maturity, opal dragons grow to be giant winged serpents with opalescent scales. Once they get too old, though, their scales grow dull and they become less able to move. They also grow extra "flag wings" all over their backs as they grow. |
| 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 | Opal dragons absorb blood energy, qi, compassion resonance, and hegnh in vast quantities. Heavenly light, nommic energy, and radiance are all common. Divine energies are common. Yahas, ethereal energy, and currents aether are also common. Msawhat corrupts them, and unholy energies are impossible. |
| 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 disease resistance, invigorating gaze, revive, cure disease, heartbonding, and choosing. |
| Alternate Forms | Opal dragons sometimes take the form of drimmir or a quail. |
| Weaknesses | Msawhat-corrupted qi or blood will hurt them. |
| Subspecies | Panacean dragons have accumulated more qi, compassion, and blood than most, and they become stone-encrusted worms that leak healing blood as they move. They infuse the area around them with healing energies and sense the emotions of everyone for miles. |
| Culture | Opal dragons lay their eggs on the banks of fast rivers, buried deep in the sand and rocks. They live in large communities which all take part in every task at hand, including raising the young. As children, opal dragons are encouraged to play but also taught deep compassion, and by maturity, they tend to want to seek out the world to help others for some time. These are called kren-saen. They return to the community and bring back treasures for the hoard, as well as followers. Opel dragons serve the communities around them, healing and helping however they can, and these form deep alliances. When opal dragons grow old, they often want to return to the world to help others. They often die far from home. |
