Topaz Dragon Overview [1] [2]  

[1] Decay and despair are bound up in the nature of topaz dragons, thanks to the necrotic energy of the Negative Plane that suffuses them. …The dragons' demeanor is typically morbid and curmudgeonly as a result. …Their scales [are] translucent and faceted… ranging from bright yellow to rich amber in color. Topaz dragons prize informaiton on destruction and creation… They are fascinated by magic that creates objects from nothing, animates Undead, destroys matter, or manipulates negative energy. And they are particularly intrigued by Undead, sometimes keeping them in their hoards as curios.

Topaz Dragons are described in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons

Topaz Dragon's Lair

[3] Topaz dragons dwell where the sea meets the land… They [lair] in caves set into sea cliffs, or beneath salt marshes…

The challenge rating of a legendary topaz dragon increased by 1 when it's encountered in its lair.

Lair Actions

[3] When fighting inside its lair, an topaz dragon can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Beguiling Whisper.
  • Cancelation.
  • Negative Energy Infusion.

Regional Effects

[3] The region surrounding a legendary sapphire dragon's lair is altered by the dragon's magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

  • Crystal Profusion.
  • Negative Energy.
  • Thriving Wildlife.
  • Watery sight.

If the dragon dies, [these effects fade] over 1d10 days.

 Forgotten Realms Wiki  [4] 
Topaz dragons were erratic, antisocial gem dragons who were often selfish and disinterested in things that did not affect them. They preferred to live by beaches, and enjoyed the feeling the sea wind against their faceted, yellow-orange scales.
