Blue Dragon (Final Fantasy VII)

The Blue Dragon is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII fought in the area with a healing spring in Gaea's Cliff and in the seventh round of the Battle Square after the player acquires the Highwind and Cloud Strife rejoins the party. When fought on the Battle Square, its stats are enhanced with double the normal HP and its Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.

==Battle==
Blue Dragon always attacks alone. It uses two strong physical attacks—Dragon Fang and Tail Attack—which it may use twice in one turn. Its Great Gale attack may inflict Darkness. It uses a powerful Ice attacks, and is among the more formidable enemies encountered in Gaea's Cliff. Although it is an Ice enemy, it is not weak to Fire.
It drops the rare armor Dragon Armlet, useful to equip in the boss battle taking place in the area directly after the area where Blue Dragon is encountered.
While the Blue Dragon has access to Dragon Force, an Enemy Skill, which it may use twice to double its physical and magical defense, the player cannot learn the skill from it as Blue Dragon does not cast it on the player party, nor can it be manipulated, confused, or the skill reflected at the party.
===Strategy===
Equipping Ice-resistant armor and using attacks that inflict Poison are good ways to defeat the Blue Dragon.
