===Jade Dragon===

Described as an "oriental cousin" to the Emerald Dragon, jade dragons have the traditional "[[oriental dragon]]" body-structure - a wingless, four-limbed serpent with somewhat leonic facial features. Smaller and weaker than emerald dragons, and lacking their psionic powers, they possess the spellcasting ability of a [[Mystic Theurge|multiclassed wizard/cleric]] and retain the deadly sonic shriek of their relatives. They can also hypnotize others simply by talking, much like the jacinth dragon, although with less aptitude. They also share the jacinth's inability to shapeshift without preparing spells in advance, and their ability to blink.

Living in deep forests, jade dragons favor jade and rare woods as the basis for their hoards. They strictly refuse to eat other sapient creatures, only consuming vegetation and animals, but are also quite antisocial.

This was one of the original trio of Neutral Dragons, debuting in the Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume 1.
