Sea Dragon - Glaucous

Sailors' Name: Seastorms

"Lightning followed by thunder is as true below water as it is above. If you see a streak of lightning below be prepared for the thunderous boom of a Seastorm breaching the water, and for your crew's final moments." -Liara Nightsong

Overview

The most powerful and territorial of the dragons, glaucous sea dragons often feed on jellyfish and steal their stinging powers for themselves. While jellies make up the majority of their diet, they often enjoy indulging in their favorite snack: people.

Abilities

Despite their massive size and strength, these dragons are incredibly fast when they move through the water. They can consume entire swarms of jellyfish in a matter of minutes, and chase down any creatures that may flee while they hunt.
However, the most notable feature of the glaucous sea dragons is their stinging ability. Feasting on jellyfish daily, these dragons build up massive quantities of nematocysts, giving every inch of their bodies the ability to sting. The stings from these dragons leave those who touch them temporarily paralyzed and, if one creature is stung multiple times, they can be deadly.
These dragons can also "sting" in more ways than one. Aside from the nematocysts which coat their bodies, glaucous sea dragons are also renowned for their breath attack, which shoots a powerful line of electricity.
Lastly, aside from stinging, glaucous sea dragons are also known for being equally as deadly above the water as they are below. They use their powerful tails to launch themselves out of the water, then glide using their winged arms and fan-like fins. Fully matured individuals can glide up to five miles in a single burst, and they use this ability to glide past ships and snatch sailors as they pass.

Appearance

Usually deep blue in color, glaucous sea dragons blend well with their ocean surroundings, and they can be difficult to spot depending on the conditions. Their arms are webbed with wings, which they use to steer their trajectory when gliding above the water. They lack back legs, and instead push themselves through and above the water using their powerful, finned tails. They have additional fins which line the sides of their lower body, and fan out to allow them to glide when they leap above the surface. Lastly, they have longer, flowing fins on the sides of their head. These fins are purely ornamental, and their length often displays the age and status of the dragon. The longer the fins, the older and more powerful the dragon who possesses them.

Habitat and Society

Glaucous sea dragons consider themselves to be the best of the best in dragon society. They hold themselves above all others, and think of other sea dragons as being beneath them in status. They have a particular distate for leafy sea dragons, who they consider to be weak and cowardly. High and mighty, they're often disliked by other dragons and are generally avoided.
