Sapphire Dragon

Sapphire Dragons are a Genus of Mineral Dragon that first appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2:Worlds Clashing. There are 3 spotted in the chapter where Xenith Stephenson awakens Erandil The Shining Avenger with the Dragon God pearl. the three are there to maintain watch over their king and they are loyal enough to stand in Xenith's way as the largest of the sapphire dragons tests his might only to be defeated by being assaulted by Stalactites that fall on it. The Sapphire dragon genus is of the same shape as a blue elemental dragon implying that chromatic elemental dragons and Gemstone dragons are in fact not just related but at one point were one species that branched out in evolution.

## Biology

The Sapphire dragons are western dragons covered in scales of various shades of blue, which sparkled with starburst patterns under sunlight. They were sometimes mistaken for blue dragons as this also proves the theory that gemstone dragons and chromatic elemental dragons are from the same origin genus. Some of their extremities, such as their tail barbs and the tips of their horns were physically disconnected from their bodies, held aloft by the dragon's psionic electrical force. These appendages moved or shifted in response to the dragon's mood. An amused sapphire dragon might have its horns oscillate up and down, while an angry dragon would have its appendages flare and widen threateningly. They also have an underbite which allows them to slam their upper jaw onto the enemy to cause Bleeding and also cause infections. Sapphire dragons are rather anti-social and their only known open neighbors are Emerald Dragons. Sapphire dragons reach average sizes of 21.4 meters with a length of 54 meters and a wingspan of 47 meters. they are also both insectivores and lithovores. They usually eat giant bugs in their lairs but when its not available they eat rocks.

## Abilities

Resistance: The Sapphire dragons aren't just resistant to conventional weaponry, But are also resistant to enchanted weaponry that are made by minerals.

Detached Horns: Its horns and tail end as well as the spines on its back are held to its body by psychics and electricity from its gemstone nature. This can be useful in when it rams enemies as it can lengthen the range by extending the horns farther from its head.

Psionic Breath: Using a telekinetic breath in the form of multiple rings of blue energy which if enemies stand in the 70 meter cone they will feel as if they have been crushed by the absolute force of the telekinetic power. This breath also lifts and then pushes back enemies and objects.

Telepathy: Sapphire Dragons can use telepathy with other dragons and Humans but prefers to not do it with humans as they are anti-social.

Prism Gem Beams: in sunlight, Sapphire dragons can unleash beams of prismatic blue energy and rainbows in all directions for an AOE attack via the wings. This does Sunburn and Shock damage to foes.

Shielded Mind: Sapphire Dragons cannot be intruded mentally by mortals or gods and this can only be bypassed by Primordial anger.

Crystal Beam: Much like other mineral dragons, Sapphire dragons can shoot a beam of super-energized carbon and mineral particles which explodes when it hits the enemy. This also inflicts Sunburn, Shock, and Bane to its enemies.

Dragon Scream: Much like any other dragon, Sapphire Dragons can use the move Dragon Scream.

Detect Presence: Using this radiosensory ability, Sapphire Dragons can tell where things are which was developed by their anti-social nature.

## Trivia

Sapphire Dragons no longer have the horn that the blue dragons have and instead have it divided on the sides of its head implying psychic energy broke the horn.
