5e:Emerald Dragon
{{otherlore|Emerald dragons were reclusive dragons with a lawful bent. They are inquisitive about history, but also paranoid and distrustful of visitors, whom they deter by setting traps in and by their lairs, and with their breath weapon, a powerful blast of wind. They had scales in many shades of green, with a scintillating appearance that makes the dragon seem to be in constant motion. [3]
Emerald Dragons are described in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons.
Emerald Dragon's Lair
[4] Emerald dragons dwell in … caverns, lava tubes, and tunnel[s]…
