'''Dragons''' are powerful reptilian monsters which prowl through the dungeon, using their elemental breath attacks to devastate any heroes they come across. The [[draconian]] race is closely related to them, though this genetic similarity does not make these beasts any more amicable. While dragons vary wildly in their strengths and weaknesses, they are all susceptible to weapons of [[dragon slaying]] (currently limited to the artefact lance [[Wyrmbane]]), and some of them have other vulnerabilities.

In spite of the risk involved, slaying certain dragons can prove extremely rewarding. Their hides possess unusual properties that make them exceptionally useful as a material for armour, though to craft it in the Dungeon requires the use of a [[scroll of enchant armour]]. You can also occasionally find this equipment in [[shop]]s, lying around the Dungeon floor, or as a [[god]] gift from [[Okawaru]]. [[Artifact]] dragon armours even exist, and can provide phenomenal benefits.

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.

"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.

-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."

Dragons are powerful reptilian monsters which prowl the deeper portions of the Dungeon, using their elemental breath attacks to devastate any heroes they come across. The draconian race is closely related to them, though this genetic similarity does not make these beasts any more amicable. While dragons vary wildly in their strengths and weaknesses, they are all susceptible to weapons of dragon slaying (currently limited to the artefact lance Wyrmbane), and some of them have other vulnerabilities.

Despite their outward similarities, wyverns and hydras are not true dragons and are instead considered reptiles.

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 -- ogres, trolls, and spriggans will almost certainly want to seek out some dragon scales at some point. You can also occasionally find dragon scales in shops, lying around the Dungeon floor, or as a god gift from Okawaru. While dragon scales can never have egos, they can be artefacts.
