Useful Info

Bone dragons are slow draconic horrors. They lack a breath weapon, but make up for it with powerful melee capabilities, excellent defense, and far too much HP. You can find them in the deepest parts of the Dungeon, the Crypt, the Vaults, the Abyss, and the Hells (primarily Tartarus).

Tips & Tricks

• Dispel Undead or powerful non-elemental Conjurations are effective, but it still takes several shots to kill them. Thankfully, bone dragons are slow, so kiting shouldn't be much of a problem.
• Yredelemnul sometimes gifts you bone dragons at high piety. They make awesome pets, especially if you have the ability to Haste them.

History

In 0.12, bone dragons will be speed 10.
