A relatively small grey dragon, with a resilient-looking scaly hide and steam pouring from its mouth.

“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”
-Life of Confucius

“This Dragon had Two furious Wings
Each one upon each Shoulder;
With a Sting in his Tail as long as a Flail,
Which made him bolder and bolder.
He had long Claws, and in his Jaws
Four and forty Teeth of Iron;
With a Hide as tough, as any Buff,
Which did him round environ.”

Tips & Tricks

  • Having rF+ also grants you rSteam.
  • Butchering a steam dragon may create a steam dragon hide which can be enchanted into a steam dragon armour, an occasionally desirable armour choice for casters and stealth-specialists.
  • Its steam breath lingers for several turns; don't stand around in it if you don't have resistance. If you need to escape a fight, the steam blocks line of sight like a scroll of fog, making it easier to leave enemies guessing where you went.
