Geode Dragons are closely related to Stone dragons. They are covered in a hard stone-like material as well as beautiful crystal. Their wings are entirely useless for flight, but they help attract mates. The dragons with the most brilliant and colorful crystals are more likely to mate.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Joyce is not early as greedy as her half-brother Jovani, but she is protective of her hoard of gems and will respond with extreme negativity to any who try to plunder it, though few dragons are foolish enough to do so. Joyce's diet also consists of gems, and she loves to eat diamonds. Unfortunately, they are exceedingly rare and getting to nibble on one is a once-in-a-blue-moon treat for Joyce.
