Here's a couple for the brainstorm:
A blast of blistering hot, armor penetrating sand
A crippling wave of indifference
A hailstorm of frozen unholy water
Webs of constricting razorwire
A black cloud that grants fast healing, except that the "healed" flesh bubbles with necrosis and jerks with a life of its own
The life draining shadows of departed loved ones who race through you in soul-numbing passes (or just hound you to stop playing video games and get the hell outside)
A cloud of spores that germinate, network, and constrict, forming a suffocating black net visible just under the skin
Motes of sticky deeper darkness |

A wave of rust, destroying only metal
Caustic fire that destroys all cloth and paper
A hailstorm
A "green blast" that turns all plants into immobilizing bonds holding down feet and legs
Dessicating heat that scorches hair and dries out creatures with watery bodies
Radioactive mutating cancer breath, uncontrolled growth of hair, skin, and pustules
A sonic boom, shattering glass for miles -- and summoning allies
Timeshifting breath, affected creatures lose an action

A cone of localized vacuum, doing cold and suffocation damage.
A blast of glass shards which embed into flesh for recurring damage until removed.
A blast of Magnetic Energy that immobilizes anyone in metal armor and disarms those with metal weapons.
Or how about a dragon that "breathes" its own prolapsed stomach, which does acid damage and grapples the target(s). On the following round, the dragon swallows its stomach and anyone grappled by it.
3 words: Cone of Stirges |

so close to 100!
77) Holy breath, which causes double damage to chaotic evil creatures, and none to lawful good ones.
78) Unholy breath, which does the opposite
79) Blinding and silencing breath; victims cannot see or speak if they fail two saves.
80) Purple fire that burns the victims every round until extinguished.
81) Searing acid that burns the victims every round until washed away.
82) Disenchanting breath
83) Spell stealing breath, by which the dragon gains spells from the memories of arcane or divine casters. While it inhales them, the casters lose them.
84) Spirit breath: dominating or possessing spirits.
85) Ravenous hunger: affected creatures lose the will to fight and seek food instead.
86) Immobility: creatures legs are trapped and they cannot move.
87) Bubbles like soap, but when they pop, they explode.
88) Graverobbing breath: Animates the dead
89) Fearful roar, turning those who hear it into cowards
90) Enchanting breath, making targets into friends who are on good terms with the dragon until hours or days later
Somebody finish this list!

| The Puffy Dragon: A native inhabitant of the Questing Grounds, Puffy Dragons are the least harmful of all dragon species. The Puffy Dragon exhales a cone of tiny scented pillows (like lavender) that strike opponents for 2 points of nonlethal damage per age category. Victims of this pillowy assault must make a Will save or fall into a peaceful sleep for 4 hours. |
