As long as the magic shield has hit points remaining, the Cerulean dragon can use it to negate a targeted spell as an immediate action once per [[SRD:Round|round]]. All spell effects are absorbed at the cost of 1d6 points of shield damage per [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] of the negated spell. |

These capricious, azure-scaled entities roam the jungles and crags of the world. Playful and easily driven to boredom, they seek out mortals to amuse themselves with. While they consider nature to be sacred, they are not above playing pranks with its creations, and their potent charms and compulsions can reduce even the most resilient of men to servile thralls.
Cerulean dragons are small dragons whose scales are a dark blue tint, with a greenish blue underbelly. They have two pairs of wings that move oppositely from one another, similar to those of a dragonfly.
Cerulean dragons often make their home in ancient ruins, overgrown with vines and brambles and hidden in the heart of the wilderness. There, they help themselves to whatever riches and treasures the native peoples have left behind. Theatrical and charismatic, cerulean dragons often craft a persona around themselves to appeal to primitive mortals, such as by impersonating their most vaunted gods to gain worshipers and servants. Decadent and hedonistic, once they establish themselves with the locals they mire themselves in endless recreation and live a carefree life. They value humour and entertainment and exhibit care for their followers and the wilderness around them, protecting it against unwanted invaders and those that would seek to bring corruption.
Combat
A Cerulean dragon’s natural weapons and any weapons it wields are treated as chaotic-aligned as well as magic (wyrmling – mature adult) or epic (old – great wyrm) for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Aside from possessing the natural weapons, abilities and traits innate to all true dragons, Cerulean dragons have the following unique qualities.
Breath Weapon (Su): A Cerulean dragon has two types of breath weapons. The first is a cone of force dealing damage as per Table: Cerulean Dragons by Age. The second is a cone of glitterdust.
Immunities: Cerulean dragons are immune to cold, electricity and compulsion effects.
Magic Shield (Su): A Cerulean dragon projects a powerful shield, giving it a deflection bonus to AC equal to its Charisma bonus that remains even in an antimagic field or when the shield is brought down to 0 hit points. The shield has 40 hit points per age category of the dragon and recovers one tenth of its maximum hit points every minute.
As long as the magic shield has hit points remaining, the Cerulean dragon can use it to negate a targeted spell as an immediate action once per round. All spell effects are absorbed at the cost of 1d6 points of shield damage per caster level of the negated spell.
Magic Blast (Sp): Cerulean dragons beyond the wyrmling stage can shoot an energy blast from its mouth as a standard action. The dragon may choose the energy type of the blast, which otherwise functions as a fireball spell.
A Cerulean dragon with a caster level of at least 10 can fire up to one magic blast per 10 caster levels as a swift action (maximum 3), determining separately the energy type and target area of each blast. Maximum damage for each blast is 10d6.
This ability is equivalent to a 3th level spell.
Spells: Cerulean dragons cast spells as a druid of their effective caster level.
