Version 0.33: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

This page is about the various draconian monsters. For the player species, see draconian.

"Trogdor was a man!
I mean, he was a dragon-man!
Or... maybe he was just a dragon.
...
And the Trogdor comes in the night!"

-The Brothers Chaps, "Trogdor". 2003.

Draconians are the mythical half-dragon inhabitants of the Realm of Zot. Each draconian has a colour, and some have occupations as well; the different colors determine their draconian breath attacks and resistances, while the occupations determine their equipment, skills, and spells. Fortunately, they are all cold-blooded creatures and will be slowed by weapons of freezing (unless cold resistant).

Common Draconians

A scale-covered humanoid with a reptilian tail and small wings.
  • d Black draconian.png Black draconian - Flight-capable draconians that breathe highly-damaging bursts of electricity.
  • d Green draconian.png Green draconian - Poisonous draconians that have stinger tails and can breathe clouds of poison.
  • d Purple draconian.png Purple draconian - Occult draconians that are quite resistant to magic and breathe blasts of irresistible, enchantment-stripping energy.
  • d Red draconian.png Red draconian - Fiery draconians that spew blasts of fire that leave behind clouds of flames.
  • d White draconian.png White draconian - Frosty draconians with AC-piercing cold breath. Their icy nature negates the side-effects of their cold-blooded physiology.
  • d Yellow draconian.png Yellow draconian - Draconians that will corrode your equipment with their acid breath and bite.

Classed Draconians

Rare Draconians

These draconian base types can only be found in pre-defined vaults.

  • d Draconian (monster).png Draconian - Immature, weak draconians with no breath attack.
  • d Grey draconian.png Grey draconian - These draconians lack breath weapons but have more AC, hit harder, and do not drown.
  • d Pale draconian.png Pale draconian - Draconians that breathe jets of steam, which don't do much damage but block line of sight.

Occasionally, vaults will contain classed draconians that have a different base type than usual - for example, red draconian knights.

Unique draconians

  • d Bai Suzhen.png Bai Suzhen - An odd, watery draconian from a distant land. Her skill in battle and ability to Summon Hydras are dangerous enough, but wounding her will force her to unleash her true form...
  • d Tiamat.png Tiamat - Found only in the Realm of Zot, Tiamat is a brutally powerful opponent. She changes her colour randomly and wears the powerful dragonskin cloak, giving her a wide range of resistances. She always travels with a large entourage of lesser draconians.

Removed draconians

History

  • In 0.34, classed draconians will have extra 20 Will, but purple draconians will have 120 instead of 140 Will.
  • Prior to 0.28, classed draconians could randomly spawn with varying colours.
  • Mottled draconians and draconian zealots were removed in 0.20. This version also introduced draconian stormcallers by merging zealots with the old draconian callers.
  • Prior to 0.17, grey and pale draconians could naturally spawn in Zot.
