Samotsala
“ The region of enormous clusters of crystals is home to a living machine. Sweat and crystals served as their primary defenses, and their skin was symbolic. In the caves, a wing shines like a star. Nothing compares to their wretched dragon, the indigenous crystal-bearing beast from Mexico to Russia, with its hollow mythological burden. ”

The Samotsala (Cosmimopteryx siberica; Russian: самоцала; Serbian/Croatian: самоцали) is a fictional species of Elder Dragon introduced in Snow Maiden.
Samotsala is the only few animals possessed by the surrounding crystals made of unknown materials. These creatures were once thought to be a myth due to the bright crystal dust surrounding them obscuring the vision of others much like a stars.
From the word Samotsala wasn't Russian in origin, from Serbian: самоцвет (samocvet) means gem and Latin ala means wing.
The Samotsalas have gray bodies with jagged, pink feather-like pycnofibres and spikes on the neck, knees, and elbows. Light is reflected by crystal-coated feathers that protrude from their wing membranes. It has blue to purple crystal protrusions on its head, feet, tail, and wings. Its general body shape is sleek and slender.
In fact, if their horns are encrusted in crystals, they resemble crowns. Males lack sword crystal, ladies have more crystals than most males, have distinct eye hues, and are more appealing than males. The Samotsala is a sexual dimorphism. Males do not have varied eye colors on the left and right, but females do, much like calico cats. Males are larger than females, but their scutes are darker.
The Samotsala has the ability to breathe clouds till they erupt, as well as summon, blast, and breathe miasma. It can also toss a big crystal fragment that lands on the ground and remains there for a long time. They could penetrate flesh and armor with their fragile tail. When a person's head reflects light, it transforms into a light element, releasing crystals and a rainbow.
Rainbow
Like most other Elder Dragons, it is hard to say where Samotsala fits in with the ecological niche that abducts any princesses. It is covered in crystals to protect mostly females as a queen, whereas the males as dukes. The colorful quartz crystals on the heads, claws, wings and tails of the creatures are very translucent and are able to release a large amount of light. Samotsala are carnivorous, rarely fighting any ancient animals and humans before they coexist with Ket people of Russia.
Believe that this dragon migrates from Mexico to Russia because this not a native species, affects their native species and the ethnic groups. Some female one build their own throne made of natural crystals by crying or sweating in forlorn. Samotsala fought with Grootslang, a native dragon but flightless competing in their crystal caves due to more abundantly above the resources that reason this animal always symbiosis with unknown bacteria helps to feed some crystals made turn translucent to transparent.
They are very territorial and very aggressive, sending other organisms and large aircrafts crashing to the ground without a second thought.
Samotsala was located in their caverns with crystals worldwide.

You wait for it to land before climbing onto its back. It will take off if you feed it some delicious crystals, but don't worry—you won't fall. NEVER LOOK DOWN! Turn to the third person. Wait a short while before feeding it again after the initial feeding.
Alternatively, survivors must steal a Samotsala's egg in order to tame it. When these eggs hatch, the babies must be fed any type of milk, which can be gotten from a variety of sources.
Coming soon.
