Since the Flood Dragon required such a painful process to look right ("right" in this case meaning "weird and ugly"), I decided to make the Sirocco Dragon look as mad, bad, and dangerous to know as possible, from the start.

First of all, he doesn't have any eyes, instead employing massive heat-sinks (they also detect magic, so undead and animated creatures aren't safe) to detect his prey. So he's blind-which as I understand it, is an advantage over Darkvision. The sensitive heat-sinks are covered by a massive skull of exposed bone. He's not as physically powerful as some of the other dragons, but he has quite a few advantages: First of all, he's got access to both Air and Fire paths. Other paths cost 125 (25 less than the Volcanic Dragon). In addition to that, he's got Stealth (0) and is a good (better than the average dragon, anyway) undead leader. His breath attack doesn't do a lot of damage, but has good range and area, and causes Decay. His bite also causes Decay. Significantly, he'll have a Forestform where he loses his Stealth but his bite becomes Lifedraining and his Fear goes up to 10. He's got full Flying and the ability to summon Long Dead in battle-the bodies of those who have been consumed by the sands will rise up and fight for him-but he also loses this in the Forest. Finally, he'll have 3 misc slots (Dragon average is 2)-so as you can imagine, with dragons healing themselves, he can make a pretty mean assassin, with the right gear.

His disadvantages include: a complete inability to enter the water (even if you give him an item of water-breathing, he has an extremely weak, immobile waterform), and a very strong weakness to water/ice spells (200%). Also, he consumes much more than the average Dragon (probably Gluttony 100). He's also got a particularly weak Dominion (1 instead of Dragon average 2), and slightly lower than dragon-average MR-even lower in Forests.
