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.
