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.”

  • Bco: Cold or frost.
  • Ben: Enchantment.

  • Bfl: Flame or fire.
  • Bhe: Heat.
  • Bic: Ice.
  • Bla: Lava or magma.
  • Bph: Photons/Light.
