[QUOTE="Veltharis ap Rylix, post: 9427731, member: 66357"] Blue dragons have a burrow speed, so they can easily get deep enough under the sands/earth that their coloration isn't much of an issue. The blue of their scales isn't going to be visible when they're "land sharking" their way several feet beneath the dunes. On top of that, they also had spell-like abilities related to illusions (mirages) and creating/destroying water. It all came together for me in a way that made sense for a dragon specialized for the desert, while also being a more interesting design and powerset than "brown dragon with sand breath" and a decent contrast to their desert-dwelling metallic counterparts, the brass dragons. The new blue design sacrifices that and makes it look like this is a creature that lives amidst storm clouds. Again, not an inherently bad design, by any means - just not what I look for when I think of blue dragons... [/QUOTE]
