'''Storm dragons''' are enormous, [[electricity]]-themed monsters. One of the beefier members of [[list of dragons|dragonkind]], storm dragons are faster, can take more abuse and can deal more melee damage than their [[fire dragon|fire]]- and [[ice dragon|cold]]-themed cousins, and their breath attack can be particularly devastating if you lack resistance and let them [[multizap]] you. Although they can be very dangerous when encountered [[out of depth]], they tend to only generate in [[the Depths]], [[the Vaults]], and [[the Realm of Zot]].

Killing a storm dragon may provide [[storm dragon scales]]. This provides electricity resistance and strong defense, though at a high enough evasion penalty to make spellcasting very difficult.

A powerful dragon with a hide of thick matte scales almost like blue rubber, and enormous scaly wings crackling with sparks.

“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”
