A chromatic dragon. See the Dragon overview and its kin: White, Black, Green, Blue, Red. We have seen a blue at work but never crossed blades with one. Take the gaps below as gaps. — Wren
The Harpers' Read
The blue is the proudest and most methodical of the colours — a creature of order, patience, and ambush. Its breath is a line of lightning, and lightning does nothing to it; expend none. It burrows through sand and loose earth to erupt beneath the unwary, then takes wing. It carries the same terror and the same magical defiances as its kin. Against one, watch the ground as much as the sky.
Encounters of Record
The company's knowledge of blues is thin and second-hand. A blue dragon — the cult's Lennithon — wheeled over Greenest during the raid the heroes turned back, more a looming threat than a foe they could close with (15–18). No company has yet tested one in earnest; this page grows when they do.
