With seven kinds of dragons, I thought it would be interesting to have one souped-up unique dragon for each color. I actually designed these a couple of years ago, but I never got the opportunity to test them out. {scowls} It doesn't help that I don't know what to look for in the test...
Scatha and Smaug are among the lot; the other five were taken from Iron Crown's Middle-Earth RPG (if these are included, then kick out Itangast; we've got a red arch-dragon in Smaug already).

D:Smaug is one of the Uruloki that still survive, a fire-drake of immense
D: cunning and intelligence. His speed through air is matched by few other
D: dragons and his dragonfire is what legends are made of; he is believed to
D: be the greatest dragon still surviving into the Third Age.
(Note: the HURT:30d2 is Smaug showing how the shock of his tail is like
a thunderbolt. The BLINK flag he now has is meant to signify him
putting on an even greater boost of speed than usual to get to a better
vantage point. That same reasoning exists for Scorba and Bairanax. SLOW
is on account of the dread he inspires)

D:for this mighty dragon, already renowned for his incredible speed, to
D:learn and master the powers of that plague.

D:Leucaruth earned her epithet as the result of her ceaseless,

D: offspring, but especially dwarves. You don't seem to be any different
D:in her eyes, considering what she does to anyone foolish enough to slow
D:her advance. As lightning roars towards you, you shudder to think
D:what would happen if she channeled even more anger into her breath.
(note: more/other flags that would better signify her constant rage?)
Adjust to your hearts' content...(And make sure that Ancalagon can breathe confusion and sound, and Glaurung can cause amnesia; remember poor Nienor?)
