Personality
They were the most amiable of the gem dragons. Although crystal dragons rarely went looking for companionship, they eagerly welcomed visitors to converse with, especially if they were interesting or appeared friendly and not trying to rob them. Otherwise, they tried to avoid meeting them.

Crystal dragons had an endless curiosity about the world, which they tried to satisfy with talking with people about it. A favorite pastime was to emerge at night, lie on the ground, and watch the stars.

They also loved having fun and making mischief, often in the snow. Crystal dragons would hurl snowballs at unsuspecting targets, fashion splendid sculptures from snow and ice, and construct snow forts and even amazing palaces on mountaintops.

Combat
Crystal dragons were non-aggressive and would rarely start a fight without a good reason. A crystal dragon's breath weapon was a cone of white light which damaged and blinded an opponent.

Society
Like the rest of the gem dragons, crystal dragons were rarer in the Realms than the common chromatic and metallic dragons.

Homelands
Dragons of this type who dwelt on the Prime Material Plane preferred to live atop high mountains.

In the Unapproachable East, crystal dragons could be found in the mountains of Rashemen.

Relationships
Crystal dragons sometimes came into conflict with white dragons and had been known to steal white dragon wyrmlings in order to raise them in a friendlier environment.

Crystal dragons acted as servants of the deities Brandobaris and Vergadain.

History
During the Dracorage of 1373 DR, crystals and other gem dragons used their power to shift between planes to escape Toril entirely. They waited out the rage and afterward returned one by one to resume where they left off, but many encountered difficulties.
