| ''"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 [[Dragon|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."{{-}}<sup>[[Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 20|AB manual]]''</sup>

| Like all the neutral creatures, they cannot be upgraded. Azure Dragon have the highest [[Primary skill#Attack|attack]], [[Primary skill#Defense|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 Dragon]]s instead of regular [[Skeleton]]s. They are also the most expensive unit in the game.

| == 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]].

| == 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.
