-In spite of the risk involved, slaying most dragons can prove extremely rewarding. Upon killing a dragon, there is a 33% chance for you to find an intact set of scales which can be used as armour. The different types of dragon scales grant a wide array of resistances and levels of protection and have the added benefit of being able to fit almost any species regardless of size -- [[ogre]]s, [[troll]]s, and [[spriggan]]s will almost certainly want to seek out some dragon scales at some point. You can also occasionally find dragon scales in [[shop]]s, lying around the Dungeon floor, or as a [[god]] gift from [[Okawaru]]. Even [[artefact]] dragon scales exist, and can provide phenomenal benefits.

-'''Dragons''' are powerful reptilian monsters which prowl through the dungeon, using their elemental breath attacks to devastate any heroes they come across.
