Useful Info
Steam dragons are the weakest of the dragons and are usually the first kind encountered. They have low HP, no useful resistances, and a relatively weak steam breath attack. They uncommonly appear throughout the middle floors of the Dungeon.

Tips & Tricks
- Remember that having rF+ also grants you rSteam.
- Butchering it may create a steam dragon hide which can be enchanted into a steam dragon armour, an excellent choice for casters and stealth-users.
- Its steam breath lingers for several turns; don't stand around in it if you don't have resistance. If you need to escape, the steam blocks line of sight, making it easier to leave enemies guessing where you went.
