Electro Dragon

What it looks like

The Electro Dragon is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Spooky Town (Arena 12). It spawns a single-target, air-targeting, short-ranged, air troop with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage. The Electro Dragon launches an attack that hits its target, which will arc and strike up to 2 other targets within 4 tiles of each other. It will stun affected troops for 0.5 seconds. The Electro Dragon resembles a small blue dragon with blue eyes, gray spots and glowing spikes on its back, purple tongue, and team-colored wings and underbelly. An Electro Dragon card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

• The Electro Dragon resemble dragons from European cultures. being reptilian legendary creatures, often depicted as winged, horned, and capable of breathing fire. However, the Electro Dragon breathes lightning bolts instead.
• The word "Electro" come from the Greek word "ἤλεκτρον" (elektron), meaning amber, referring to its electrostatic capabilities. Electricity was first detected through electric fish from as far back as 2750 BCE where Ancient Egyptian texts described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. At around 600 BCE, Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing. Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. The Electro Dragon is 1 of 11 cards associated with electricity, with the others being Electro Spirit, Zap, Tesla, Zappies, Electro Giant, Lightning, Electro Wizard, Sparky, Wizard Trio, and the Goblinstein.
