Azure Dragons are level 7 neutral creatures that can be recruited from Frozen Cliffs, which can only be located on the Adventure Map.

"Little is known of the Azure Dragon. It is both rare and mighty, thus few have seen it, and fewer still have survived its attacks. This powerful creature is not much bigger than most dragons, but is said to be capable of enduring prolonged physical attack. It is said those standing face-to-face with an Azure Dragon tend to freeze from pure fear." ^{AB manual}

Fear special ability

Azure Dragon's fear special ability is a passive ability, which means it does not require any specific action from the stack. The fear may occur only at the beginning of enemy stack's turn, causing them to freeze in fear of the Azure Dragons and effectively lose their chance to act that combat round. The working principle is very similar to bad morale.

Creatures immune to fear :

Azure Dragon

Golems:

Stone and Iron Golems
Gold Golem
Diamond Golem
Steel Golem

Elementals:

Air and Storm Elementals
Water and Ice Elementals
Fire and Energy Elementals
Earth and Magma Elementals
Psychic and Magic Elementals

Undead:

Skeleton and Skeleton Warrior
Walking Dead and Zombie
Wight and Wraith
Vampire and Vampire Lord
Lich and Power Lich
Black and Dread Knights
Bone and Ghost Dragons
Mummy

Appearance

Azure Dragons were added in Armageddon's Blade so there are no Azure Dragons or Frozen Cliffs in Restoration of Erathia. They also appear at the end of the Azure Dragons scenario from the Dragon Slayer campaign in Armageddon's Blade.

Like all the neutral creatures, they cannot be upgraded. Azure Dragon have the highest attack, defense, damage and health values of all the creatures making them arguably the strongest units in the game. Additionally, their ability to spread Fear among the enemies, causing them to freeze and lose their combat round action, can turn the tide of the battle. Placing Azure Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the Skeleton Transformer will give you Bone Dragons instead of regular Skeletons. They are also the most expensive unit in the game.

Azure Dragons have the highest AI Value of any creature, with 78845.

Trivia

Even though in the game files themselves the Azure Dragon and other neutral dragons are considered to be level 7, the official editor shows they are level 10 (8 for Faerie Dragon). This is either due to code limitations and impossibility of creating a unit with tier higher than 7, either because the developers didn't have time, motivation or reason to add a new creature level in the game code and invest time in that, just telling us they are level 10, respectively 8. As such, even now their levels are still being debated.
