[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6839581, member: 57383"] Hmm, you know every other dragon in the "gemstones" family has a name in the format "Mystaran [gemstone] dragon", which strongly suggests we should rename this beastie the Mystaran sapphire dragon. If we do that, apart from the obvious name changes in the entry, we'd change the description and In Mystara text to something like: Mystaran sapphire dragons, or azure dragons as they are sometimes called, are close relatives of the blue dragon. They are benevolent creatures, very different in temperament to the voracious and arrogant blue dragons. These dragons are not the same as the psionic sapphire dragon. A Mystaran sapphire dragon appears very much like a blue dragon. Like blue dragons, their scales range in color from bright turquoise to dark navy, though Mystaran sapphire dragons tend towards the lighter hues. An expert eye can distinguish a Mystaran sapphire dragon from a blue by a curious shimmering quality in the light reflecting from an azure's scales. A DC 20 Spot or Knowledge (arcana) check is required to notice the difference. * * * [B][SIZE=4]In Mystaran[/SIZE][/B] The peoples of Mystara consider this dragon one of the "gemstone dragons", a family that includes the Mystaran amber dragon, Mystaran crystalline dragon, Mystaran jade dragon, Mystaran onyx dragon, Mystaran ruby dragon and Mystaran sapphire dragon. Despite being called "gemstone" dragons, these dragons are quite separate from the family of psionic-powered neutral "gem" dragons, despite many of the latter being named after the same precious stones.
