Blue Dragons
Blue is rare, called the most ruthless of the six colours, and formidably large. It also carries the deadliest tail pairing in the series, because a blue daggertail combines the most lethal tail with the colour least likely to hold back.

Registry, held at blue
The registry module with the colour filter set to blue. Two records sit behind spoiler gates, so raise your level to read them in full.
What the books establish
Blue is the second of the two colours the series treats as uncommon. Where black is defined by consequence, blue is defined by temperament: it is called the most ruthless of the six, and it is large. Both traits show up in how blue dragons are handled in a fight.
The confirmed blue on the page is Sgaeyl, described as the most powerful blue in active service, with golden eyes and glistening blue horns. She carries a daggertail, which is where the colour's reputation becomes a physical fact rather than a character note.
A further pairing circulates among readers as a blue clubtail. It rests on an unofficial summary, so the registry entry is chipped as unconfirmed and the page does not treat it as established.
Why the blue daggertail matters
The daggertail keeps an edge and concentrates it into a point, which is why the books describe it as capable of eviscerating with a single flick. The blue daggertail is the rarest and most lethal sub-category on record: the worst tail on the colour least likely to hesitate.
That combination is the reason blue reads as dangerous even though green and red are more common. Common colours produce more dragons, and therefore more deaths in total, but a single blue daggertail is the pairing a cadet should least want to meet in the valley.
It is worth saying plainly what this is not. It is not a ranking of individuals. A blue that never fights is not a threat, and the books are careful to let individual dragons exceed their colour reputation in both directions.

What blue reads as in our game
In the bonding engine on this site, blue leans on loyalty and instinct: a run that reaches for other people, and trusts the read it cannot explain, drifts toward it. The ruthless reputation is carried in the colour weighting rather than in a combat system, because this site is about the choice, not the fight.
That is design, not canon. The books describe no scoring system and no colour odds, and no rarity ladder. A blue result means the engine read your choices a certain way.

The blue record, as Fourth Wing gives it
Spoilers: Fourth Wing
This section contains material from later in the series.
Sgaeyl is ridden by Xaden Riorson, and she is mated to Tairn. Mated dragons cannot be separated for long without their health deteriorating, which is why the two riders end up posted together.
Sgaeyl had a previous rider, who died fifty years before Xaden. Each bond a dragon forms is described as stronger than the last, and the books treat her choice of Xaden as a deliberate one rather than a convenience.

Questions people actually ask
Blue is rare, described as the most ruthless of the colours, and formidably large. It also carries the single deadliest tail pairing in the series: the blue daggertail.
The daggertail concentrates an edge into a point that can eviscerate in one flick. Pairing that with the colour called most ruthless produces the rarest and most lethal combination on record.
Sgaeyl is the confirmed one, described as the most powerful blue in active service, with golden eyes and glistening blue horns. One further pairing circulates as unconfirmed.
No. Black is called the rarest of the six. Blue is called rare, and its daggertail sub-category is the rarest combination within a colour.
Our engine leans blue toward loyalty and instinct, reading a run that keeps faith with the people it entered the valley with. That is site-game design, not canon.
Fan material names Gormfaileas. It is a community report rather than a clean statement in reachable official material, so it is chipped as such here.

The daggertail is rare in the pool. The engine rolls it anyway.
