Notes

Identify says...

An ancient crystal dragon appears to be between level 45 and 50.
An ancient crystal dragon looks like a dragon, and follows the ways of the mage.

Its death script puts everybody at rest, besides loading the two pieces of equipment:

An ancient crystal dragon is DEAD!!
Your final blow rips a piece of hide from the dragon.
Keryesti's death cry knocks you to the floor.
An ancient crystal dragon sprawls out haphazardly.
A young crystal dragon sprawls out haphazardly.
You sprawl out haphazardly.
An ancient crystal dragon gasps its last breath and blood spurts out of its mouth and ears.
You get 200000 gold coins from the corpse of an ancient crystal dragon.
The corpse of an ancient crystal dragon holds:
    a piece of Crystal Dragon hide
    a crystal dragon's claw

From this script we know that the dragon's name is Keryesti, an information that is not given by the mob's description.

It's the easiest of the dragons, a decent thief can tank this without needing heals.
