Lightning (dragon)

Lightning dragons are smaller, agile dragons. They do not have near the speed of some of the top fliers, but they have some of the most remarkable maneuverability. They have typically rich blue coloring and spines which arc with lightning when they are agitated or excited. Lightning dragons are deep thinkers but are able to make decisions rapidly, making them one of the most formidable of all the dragons.

Abilities
Bite - Lightning dragons bite swiftly and repeatedly. Against other dragons, each bite alone does little damage, but they are capable of striking so rapidly, that the wounds build up, especially if the Lightning dragon can grab on. Also, once they bite down, they can also expel their breath weapon directly into their opponent for maximum effect.

Claw - A Lightning dragon's claws are more deadly than their bite (without the breath weapon). Just before striking with any of its four claws, the Lightning dragon will spark the claws, making them as hot as plasma. This allows the claws to sink deep into most armor, including dragon scales. The armor cools rapidly around the claws, allowing the dragon to hold on to its prey securely.

Lightning Breath - While not the most damaging of all breath weapons, the lightning breath has the added benefit of at least stunning if not outright paralyzing targets for several seconds. The longer the breath is applied, the longer the paralysis.

Lightning Spines - As a defense mechanism, any time the lightning dragon is grabbed or touched, its spines can release a discharge into the assailant causing involuntary release and minor damage.

Lightning Tail - Not often used in the air, the tail of a Lightning dragon is a vicious weapon on the ground. It is made of razor tines that can slice into most targets. Alone, that would be enough to fear it. However, it is usually always lit with electricity while in combat, so getting struck by it is like getting hit by a solid bolt of lightning.
