The [[dragon slaying]] brand causes a weapon to deal +75% bonus damage on attacks against any kind of [[list of dragons|dragon]], [[list of draconians |draconian]], or player in [[Dragon Form]]. On top of that, it gives you an additional 25% chance to dodge any dragon's breath attack. Wielding a dragon slaying weapon will give your character the desire to slay dragons, or, if you are a [[draconian]], make your character feel suicidal; either way, this identifies it.
