A long and sinuous dragon, seemingly more neck and tail than anything else. Its skin shines like molten mercury, and magical energies arc from its pointed snout.

Useful info

Quicksilver dragons are rare and dangerous dragons that move 50% faster than average and breathe irresistible 3d20 status-dispelling energy bolts. Fortunately they're extremely rare, appearing almost exclusively in Vault:8, Dis:7, and certain Dungeon vaults. If you see one elsewhere, it's likely a shapeshifter.

Tips & Tricks

  • As their damage output is irresistible and considerable, the best defense is a good offense. Take them out quickly, using Haste or berserk if those options are available.
  • While the bolts can't be absorbed, they can be avoided; use Repel Missiles or Deflect Missiles to keep yourself safe.
