Blue dragonspawn Blue dragonspawn are the descendants of mortals who associated with blue dragons so closely that their families gradually transformed into part - humanoid , part - dragon crossbreeds . They take many roles in the blue dragonflight , serving as foot soldiers , emissaries to the humanoid races , and companions . While the dragons respect them , they are essentially a slave race , and they are trained from birth to give their lives to protect dragons ( most dragonspawn are intelligent and loyal enough to sacrifice themselves without any such training , however ) . Most dragonspawn are raised and tutored by a dragon , in addition to their dragonspawn parents , and they often wear the symbol of this mentor for the rest of their lives . While dragonspawn exist for all the major dragonflights , an unusually large number of blue dragonspawn progress beyond the level of simply serving as grunt soldiers of the blue dragonflight . The unusual intelligence and disposition toward magic associated with the blue dragonflight is true of the dragonspawn as well , and this makes them more likely to follow in the footsteps of their mentors and become arcanists . Magical aptitude is rare among dragonspawn , however ; it is simply less so among the blues . General Cobaltann , one of the eldest and most powerful of the blue dragonspawn , has organized an army to protect all creatures against the threat of the black dragonflight — and if he has his way , his army will grow strong enough to obliterate the black dragonflight . Blue dragonspawn have the same interests and lifestyles as their blue dragon mentors , but they tend to work in groups , often times with a military function . These dragonspawn are almost never found far from at least one dragon of their flight . Appearance . Blue dragonspawn resemble blue dragons from the waist down , but their upper bodies are those of scaled humanoids . Their arms and torsos resemble those of a human , with only slight claws in most cases , but their heads more closely resemble their draconic allies . Blue dragonspawn scales are similar in color to those of blue dragons , and they typically wear armor with colors to match their dragonflight as well . This creature have the lower body of a reptile , with four massive , scale - covered legs . His torso and arms are humanoid , while his head is that of a dragon — and he has a noticeable draconic tail as well . His scales are azure , but it is difficult to distinguish them from the blue armor he wears over them . His armor is etched with draconic symbols , and similar tattoos line the scales on his exposed lower arms . Standing tall on four well - muscled legs , the creature flexes massive arms clearly capable of swinging its sword with deadly force . Its scaled armor is an enameled sapphire blue , brighter than the color of the natural scales that cover the majority of its humanoid upper body . The creature ’ s head resembles that of a small azure dragon . Culture . Blue dragonspawn communities are male dominated , not because of any difference in power or physical strength , but rather due to the amount of time females spend dealing with the young . While blue dragonspawn value their children as much as any race , they are so focused on military objectives and the achievement of greater power and knowledge that they often neglect their young more than most races ; this is especially true of the males . Unlike blue dragons , dragonspawn have a set ranking system . Blue dragonspawn ranks include ( in ascending order ) azurewing , cold talon , shiver scale , ice blade , magefury , winterfury , arctic magus , and ice tempest . The highest ranks are available only to those individuals who exhibit arcane mastery . Many dragonspawn are warrior s , rogue s , hunter s , scout s or other combat - oriented classes . The gladiator prestige class is popular among melee - oriented dragonspawn . A few dragonspawn priest s worship the blue dragonflight or Malygos , contrary to most blue dragon beliefs .
