Blue
The blue dragon excelled at aerial combat, perhaps more so than any other species of dragon. Their lightning discharges were very easy to aim at other aerial foes, or at creatures below them on the ground. They were also extremely adept at burrowing in sand, and often lie in wait just below the surface of the desert for prey. When they were so burrowed, their large horns could easily be mistaken for pointed desert rocks.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The tail is thick and bumpy, like that of a crocodile. The wings are more pronounced than most other species'. They smelled like electricity or sand.
Genetics and Reproduction
Blue dragons are actually excellent parents to their young, and would rarely leave their eggs unattended. Blue dragon eggs must be buried in warm sand to incubate. Blue wyrmlings were actually quite cute, but they were quick to taunt any other creature, and even quicker to hunt small desert creatures for food.
Ecology and Habitats
Blue dragons were native to arid wastelands and deserts. They made their lairs in underground caves; easily accessible to the dragons, as they could burrow through the ground. These dragons would fly above their territory, using the bleak landscape and its sparse terrain features as their best chance of spotting opponents.
The typical blue dragon lair was dug into one of the towering rock formations that dominate desert landscapes. As with all dragon lairs, the blue dragon's lair would have two entrances.

Oldest & powerful blue dragon in the region owns the title, Suzeran. All other blue dragons in the region must pay official homage to the Suzeran. Suzeran has authority to judge life/death punishment and authorize, or deny mating petitions. The older blue dragon is the more territory it can claim. If a blue dragon enters the Suzeran's territory, they have three choices; leave, submit to the Suzeran's command & will, or death-duel challenge.
A death-duel is highly structured. Official challenge must be given and accepted. Suzeran's must accept, or they concede their authority. All blue dragons in the region, must be notified of the date and location, which is usually high profile.
