Monster: Obsidian Dragon

Monster: Obsidian Dragon

And this is one of those monsters that not many even know about. There's actually six gem dragons in D&D 3.5 - one of them was available only in a web article on the WotC website. There's more gem dragons, but they never made it to 3.5 (there are some fan conversions though).
