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

For a list of all dragons, see list of dragons.


Useful info

Quicksilver dragons are rare and dangerous dragons that move 50% faster than average and breathe irresistible status-dispelling energy bolts. Fortunately, they're extremely rare, appearing almost exclusively in Vaults:5, 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 or blocked; a shield or Repel/Deflect Missiles can help keep you safe.
