Fire Gem Dragon

Fire Gem Dragons were released on March 19, 2017, alongside Tetra Dragons. They have three color variations that rotate on an hourly schedule. Each hour, a different color is available, whether through the cave or via breeding.
When seen in the Volcano, the egg description reads "This rough egg has shimmering veins of crystal running across its surface." After the egg is stolen, the description will update to include the color of the egg.

Fire Gem Dragons are a colorful, flamboyant breed often found in hot climates, particularly around active volcanoes. Their broad tails store the flames they breathe, which are colored by the heavy amount of minerals in the water they drink. These dragons come in a variety of colors, and will collect shiny trinkets and stones that match their own coloration. Despite their hoarding tendencies, though, Fire Gem dragons are social and will often congregate in groups and show off their collections while fawning over the stones their friends and rivals have gathered, occasionally arranging trades.
