Biology
Physical Traits
Its really difficult to categorise them due to the diverse ways a jewel dragon can look like but they still have some similarities that you can look for.
The vast majority of Jewel dragons tend to have white glowy sparkely fur, their abdomen is coverd in plates of scalesd instead of fur and it has the same color as their dominant gem type. Mosty Jewel dragons also have a really big tail, it serves as some sort of pouch where they can store extra magic within.
Wings can be a common trait but its not guaranteed for all Jewel dragons to have them.
Internal Biology
Life cycle
Jewel dragons don't really age from time, instead its caused by using magic. Using magic causes their cores to "fade away" so the more magic they use the more tired they will become. This prosses only happens outside of the ambrosian realms because the high concentration of magic in their native realms replenishes the magic they consume from using their powers.
When Jewel dragons run out of too much energy they can choose to turn into stone, this "hibernation" prosses allows them to preserve themselves and they can also passivly recover their strengt by absorbing energy from the suroundings, but depending on how much energy is present within the area they chose to hibernate in, iot can take a really long time before they can wake up again.
Jewel dragons who are under major psychological strain for too long and who lose mental stability are at risk of becoming corrupted, when this happens they can lose control of their physical form which they can transform into extremely dangerous volatile beings who are capable of causing great destruction. Luckely Jewel dragons rarely get to this point as they are naturaly very content species regardless of the situation they face. When a Jewel dragon has fallen into corruption it is ofte"n a sign that something devistating has/is going to happen.
Diet and nutrition
The teeth of jewel dragons are powerful enough to break through any kind of mineral. As food, they consume a wide variety of minerals and jem stones; however, certain jewel dragon subtypes are pickier about the minerals they consume. A jewel dragon can also consume geodes, rocks, pebbles, and sand, but these latter three items are typically avoided due to the potential impurities they may contain. A jewel dragon will typically only choose to consume these items if they are left with no other options.
Jewel dragons strictly consume minerals and are unable to consume any organic food. If they were to eat organic material it can make them very ill.
