A desert tyrant sheathed in scales that shade from bright azure to deep indigo, polished to a glossy finish by blowing sand. It buries itself in a dune until only a horn and a watchful eye break the surface, then erupts to loose a crackling bolt of lightning down a long, narrow corridor of air. Territorial and proud, it soars the noon sky surveying its domain and relishes the terror its breath inspires. It favors striking from a distance, diving only to seize prey in its claws. The largest and hardest-hitting of the lesser dragons here, it anchors a desert region as a fearsome boss whose gems lie hidden beneath the sand.

Behavior

Burrows into sand to lie in wait, exposing only horn and eyes
Prefers ranged battle, blasting foes with lightning before they can close
Soars high in daytime heat, matching the sky's color for cover
Dives to snatch and carry off lone travelers or herd beasts
Defends its territory ferociously and views retreat as cowardice

Abilities

Lightning Breath. A straight bolt of electricity hurled far down a single line; only a quick dodge halves the harm.
Lightning Immunity. Takes no damage from electricity or storm magic.
Sand Burrow. Submerges in loose sand for ambush and concealment.
Flight and Snatch. Strong flyer that grabs prey in its claws and bears it aloft.
Innate Magic. Aging dragons conjure dust devils, control winds, and distort the desert into mirages.
