^ I think I get your point. I just find it strange because pale skins are more sensible to sun (this is why the tipical nordic man/woman has white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes: they have less pigmentation because they live in a zone where there are less sunlight hours), while black skin is more resistant to sunlight (this is why africans have black skin, black hair and dark colored eyes, because the zone where they live is more exposed to sun).

Anyway, as you said, Lagiacrus hasn't exactly "skin", it has reptile scales, so maybe this is diferent for thunder waterdragons.

And, back to the discussion: A new idea just came to my mind. I think that Maelstrom Lagiacrus would be an epic name for rare species (since it is able to create whirpools, releases thunders and is a marine dragon, just like in the nordic apocaliptic-styled storms). But I don't dislike the abyssal lagia or ebony lagia (a wood type name sounds strange for me, but fits good...)
