Default Blue Dragon Update...

Here's what's going on with Blue Dragons...

Electricity is the name of the game with them when it comes to attacking / abilities.

They are going to have an electro-fire breath so that it does both Fire and (like the Phoenix) Astral damage with a chance to burn and shock troops.

Their special ability will be similar to the Bone Dragon's Poison Cloud ability except that it shock damages (100% Astral Damage) all targets around it, friend or foe (with a chance to shock again as well).

The reason why I'm picking Astral for the electricity damage is that it is different from the Magical Lightning damage and is meant to be more like an electric eel or even the Dwarven Thunder Cans. Plus it can then actually hurt Dragons.

They also will have a chance when being struck of this "Zap" ability accidentally triggering, which could be both good or bad (this is why other dragons don't want to be around them because they could accidentally get shocked - we all know that's no fun!).

Morale penalties are probably going to be -2 Morale for Green and Red Dragons and -1 for Blacks. Conversely, Dragonflies will get +1 Morale from them.

They will be able to summon 25-40% of their leadership in Dragonflies which reloads at the same rate as the Ancient Ent's Summon Greater Plant ability.

All this is subject to change, but I really like going with the electricity motif since blue is typically associated with lightning.
