B* (Breath weapon)
Because what's the point of being a dragon if you can't breathe some kind of substance or energy at your enemies, even if it's only halitosis?
Double quotes can be used to describe a breath weapon, or type thereof, that is not specified. Wyrm notes, “For example B”skittles“ indicates that you breath (sic) skittles - presumably not the ten-pin kind!” and “You can also put the specific type of weapon after the option in “double quotes”. For example Bac”sulphuric“ indicates that you breathe sulphuric acid.”
