The Crystal Cavern dragon may predate almost all other dragon species, for it hails from a cavernous geode deep in the earth that was formed during the stormy volcanic period early in the planet’s history. Its name comes from the large, shiny crystals of its home.
History
It’s possible that the Crystal Cavern Dragon was one of Earth’s very first dragon species. Crystal Cavern Dragons are born in massive geodes deep under the planet’s crust, in places where magma flows and the heat and pressure are unimaginable. Yet inside these geodes are riches untold, massive crystals formed from cooling materials dating back billions of years. As Earth’s crust shifts and shakes, features under the surface are moved and crushed. It’s thought that this pressure could break open a geode, freeing the Crystal Cavern Dragon inside to make its way to the surface through a volcano or another fissure.
