Useful Info
Golden dragons are extremely powerful dragons that can breathe fire, cold, or poisonous clouds. Butchering their corpses may leave behind gold dragon hides which can be enchanted, creating gold dragon armour, one of the most resilient (but heaviest) armours in the game. Golden dragons appear in the Realm of Zot, as well as the last floors of the Vaults and the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks
- If you have low AC, keep out of melee with your fire, cold, and poison resistances up (conservation certainly helps too).
- It resists all elements, but its EV and AC are low enough that you can overpower it with physical, negative energy, or irresistible Conjurations (Orb of Destruction, Lehudib's Crystal Spear, etc.). Even elemental Conjurations can break through its resistances if they have enough power behind them.
