Monster: Mystaran Ruby Dragon
I've already converted the gem dragons, but there was no ruby dragon. That's because just like there's no platinum dragon because the Platinum Dragon, a.k.a Bahamut is a deity, there's no ruby dragon because the Ruby Dragon, a.k.a Sardior is a deity as well. In Mystara, however, there's a different set of non-psionic gem dragons, and ruby dragon is one of them. This is another dragon from my old conversion notes, and, if I am to be honest, I have no idea why it is there. I have never played Mystara, and know little about the setting. Why it has the earth subtype instead of fire is also a mystery to me.
