Eragon and Saphira later found out that it was also the name of Brom's own dragon. It was the only one that Saphira liked, being that Eragon presented her with mostly male names. She was named Saphira after Eragon went to Brom for names of past dragons. Despite her young age she is one of the strongest dragons ever seen. Her body stature could be inferred as very aerodynamic and built for flying, and in Eldest, Oromis said that he had never seen a dragon so skilled at flying and naturally suited to the sky. Her head was roughly triangular and she also possessed four cheek spines, slightly curved horns and forehead spines between her horns. She had two serrated fangs that jutted out of her upper jaw onto her bottom lip slightly, as well as with all dragons, had white, sharp, knife-like, meat-shearing teeth. Her talons and spikes on her neck, back, as well as tail were bone-white. Her vision was enhanced, for she was able to see blues more clearly and vibrantly than reds and greens. Her color, as described in the book, differed in the movie where she appeared a rather dull blue. The radiating blue tone of her scales resulted in the nickname given to her by the elves, Saphira Brightscales. Saphira's scales and eyes were the color of sapphires, often described in the book as intense blue that refracted the light.
