Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is about the various draconian monsters. For the player species, see draconian.

"Trogdor was a man!
I mean, he was a dragon-man!
Or... maybe he was just a dragon.
...
And the Trogdor comes in the night!"

-The Brothers Chaps, "Trogdor". 2003.

Draconians are the mythical half-dragon inhabitants of the Realm of Zot. Each draconian has a colour, and some have occupations as well; the different colors determine their draconian breath attacks and resistances, while the occupations determine their equipment, skills, and spells. Fortunately, they are all cold-blooded creatures and will be slowed by weapons of freezing (unless cold resistant).
