Useful Info
Acid dragons are one of the easier dragons you'll encounter. They can breathe acid, dealing significant damage and possibly corroding you. Like other dragons, their breath attacks have a cooldown.
Killing it may drop acid dragon scales (33% chance).

Tips & Tricks
- Corrosion resistance will reduce the damage of its acid breath, though it's reasonable to fight acid dragons without.
- If you do get corroded, reassess the situation. If you're confident you can kill the dragon even with the penalties to AC and weapon attacks, do so, but if you were having difficulty before getting hit in the face with acid, or if there are other dangerous monsters about, it might be a good idea to teleport.
- Spellcasting and Evocations aren't hindered by corrosion, so if your weapons aren't working anymore, try switching tactics.
History
- Prior to 0.28, Spit Acid only had 3d7 base damage, but dealt an extra 4d5 "acid splash" damage to players.
- Acid dragons were introduced in 0.20, replacing mottled dragons.
