Blue Dragon Wyrmling
Blue Dragon Wyrmling
The youngest of the blue chromatic dragons — desert-storm predators barely out of the egg, already armed with a line of lightning breath, a flying speed of 60 feet, and intelligence enough to understand speech (as Baelgrum proved when a 1st-level Command: "Halt" dropped one out of the sky in Session 53).
Two blue dragon wyrmlings flew air support for the Cult of the Dragon's undead strike force in the Battle of Nuts Deep (Session 53). One was ensnared out of the sky by Keyleth (super-inspiration auto-crit, Ensnaring Strike, Hellfire Pixies); the other was halted mid-air by Baelgrum's Command, forced to land on the wall, poisoned, and finished by Gootcha's crossbow.
Combat Notes
- CR 3 (confirmed at the table). Medium size — no rideable wingspan here.
- Lightning breath: a line of lightning; Dex save (DC 22 was quoted with situational modifiers) for 28/14 damage. It downed squire Whippoorwill in one blast; Gootcha's Evasion zeroed it.
- Flies rather than hovers — a wyrmling that cannot act can still land, but cannot stay aloft.
Harvest Profile
CR 3 — rarity ceiling Uncommon. Full manifest: 5 Uncommon + 6 Common per carcass. One harvest check per character; see Monster Harvesting — including the two ways past the ceiling this creature occasioned: the natural-20 rule (S53) and the beat-the-ceiling-DC-by-10 rule (retro pass, 2026-09), each pulling one component one rarity level above the ceiling.

(The Uncommon count runs one over the standard 5 slots — the original list held six kinds, and nothing established is removed.)
Harvested by the company in Session 53 — both carcasses worked; see the Harvested Materials ledger, including the 2026-09 retro pass. (Component assignments were drafted in post-session processing from the rolls recorded at the table — DM corrections welcome.)
