They match Tsaheylu, the bond, with each other. The same way they match the bond to a Ikran they match to each other's queue, their braid looking bundles.
It didn't have one. By the way, they were not dragons; the smaller ones with the wierd chins were called "banshees (plural)" or "ikran (plural and singular)." the bigger ones were called "great leonopteryx (singular; for plural add '-es')" or "toruk." For the the other answer from before, "Toruk Macto" was the Na'vi name for any Na'vi that rode a great leonopteryx.
There are 2 types of "banshees" that are seen in the movie. The ones that the Na'vi bond with and ride are mountain banshees, or ikran in Na'vi. These come in a variety of complex color patterns, including blues.There is a smaller forest banshee, or ikranay in Na'vi, which can be seen and looks to be completely blue with some black markings.
