===Pearl Dragon===
[[File:Pearl dragon MCAV1.jpg|thumb|200px|right]]
The wingless sea-dwelling pearl dragon is a creature content with the simple life, seeking to avoid trouble and feed on fish whilst gathering its beloved pearls. Unusually for an oceanic dragon, it has no innate water-breathing ability, and instead simply has an enormous capacity for holding its breath - over an hour at a time. They are quasi-nomadic, moving on as they deplete pearl beds in their territory, but because of their need to meticulously take every single piece from one lair to the other, transferring lairs takes a pretty damn long time, as you might expect.

Aside from their ability to breathe clouds of steam, hypnotize others through speech like a jade dragon, and Blink six time per day, pearl dragons have no real innate magic, although like most of their lesser gem dragon kindred they have access to the spellcasting abilities of a [[Mystic Theurge|multiclassed]] [[wizard]]/[[cleric]].

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