==Tornado Dragon== [[File:Catastrophic Dragons - Tornado Dragon.png|200px|thumb|left]] {{Topquote|Friend, there ainโt no reason to go to Gallowston. Itโs gone. Something tore a hole in the sky, and the wound bled dark, angry clouds. As the winds howled, a demon rode that storm. It danced in the lightning, and where it flew, death followed it.|Renard, wilderness scout}} The supreme aerial predators of dragon-kind, Tornado Dragons descend from renegade dragons who made the mistake of falling into the clutches of Yan-C-Bin, who manipulated and dominated them until they became creatures of living storm-cloud, weapons he hoped to use to defeat his foes and free his master, Mual-Tar the Thunder Serpent. That plan was ended when a mighty horde of metallic dragons, led by Bahamut and his seven exarches, shattered Yan-C-Bin's army and scattered its survivors across the wilderness regions of the world. In the modern era, Tornado Dragons are divided between those who remain loyal to Yan-C-Bin and those who seek freedom from his influence, although all are quite contemptuous of most mortal life - especially non-Catastrophic dragons. Many find kinship with other aerial elementals or sky-based creatures, whilst others serve air primordials, or are captured as slaves for [[Demon Prince]]s with an interest in the skies, such as [[Pazuzu]]. Like the spring storms they resemble, Tornado Dragons are creatures of open wilderness, preferring prairies, savannas and forests, and with an intense wanderlust. Although they do form some semblance of the traditional draconic lair, their need to roam prevents them from settling down; Tornado Dragons build multiple lairs at a time, scattering them seemingly randomly across a chosen territory and flitting between them as the whim takes them. Amazingly, if left to themselves, tornado dragons are often quite docile, preferring to spend most of their time lazily drifting amongst clouds on currents of wind. Unfortunately, they have hair trigger tempers, and once roused to wrath, turn brutally violent, whipping up terrible storms and devastating whatever angered them, and everything around it for some distance. Whirling winds make hitting these semi-solid dragons even more difficult, whilst the Tornado Dragon itself can lash out with claws of lightning and a freezing-cold bite attack. They can literally ride upon lightning or thunder attacks directed against them, and can turn themselves into howling twisters that shake off movement-impeding magics and allow them to scatter foes like ninepins. The most ancient of their kind can even use a sort of breath weapon; a blinding wind so strong it can shatter bone and so cold it can freeze a man solid.
