Description:   The next dragon is Azure the Water Dragon of the Lizard subspecies. The Lizard Water Dragons are totally opposite of their Lizard Fire dragon counterparts -- they prefer the cold and love the water. While they still need warmth to survive (ie cold blooded), they can often go quite awhile without it. These dragons can survive underwater, too, for long periods of time (about 10 minute spurts) and are very quick swimmers, their bodies designed to swim side to side (like a snake or shark) rather than to paddle forward with the help of their incredibly-strong tails. The Lizard types, though, unlike their Tundra counterparts (the Ice Water Dragons, which I have yet to create), they cannot survive very cold weather, which can cause their blood to freeze instantaneously.   This picture turned out so very very good! I love how I drew Azure, and the colouring is amazing (another word you'll never hear me say to describe my pics ever again...). Once again, I love her feet the best, and her wings are very nice too, yeah. :D Huzzah! Ooh, I'm so happy! :D Azure and art © 2003 to Stephanie G.M. Ratté.
