Her tongue was barbed like a rasp, allowing her to strip meat from bone, and she once threatened to lick Eragon with it should he ever put her through enough worry. She had two serrated fangs that jutted out of her upper jaw onto her bottom lip slightly, and like all dragons, she had white, sharp, knife-like, meat-shearing teeth. The talons and spikes on her neck, back, as well as her tail were bone-white and all were very sharp. She was possessed of enhanced vision, for she was able to see blues more clearly and vibrantly than reds and greens, an ability she showed Eragon when she allowed him to see the world through her eyes. She was also known as Flametongue to the Urgals. The radiating blue tones of her scales resulted the nickname given to her by the elves, Saphira Brightscales, or as she was known in the Ancient Language, as Saphira Bjartskular. Saphira's scales and eyes were the color of sapphires, often described in the book as an intense blue that refracted the light. She is the daughter of a Rider's dragon named Iormungr and a wild female dragon named Vervada and is a descendent of Belgabad, the largest dragon of his time.
