Useful Info

Fire dragons are powerful giant lizards with potent fire breath and vulnerability to cold. They are by no means the deadliest of the dragons in the game, but they can make short work of careless mid-level characters. They are found in the Vaults, the Depths, and the Realm of Zot.

Tips & Tricks

  • Butchering a fire dragon's corpse may produce a fire dragon hide, which you can enchant to create a fire dragon armour.
  • If you have any sources of fire resistance, wear them now, as a dragon's fire breath can prove devastating, especially to any characters with fire vulnerability. Mummies without a source of fire resistance should probably stay very far away from any dragons they find.
  • Transmuters may wish to choose their form carefully around fire dragons: they resist poison, negating much of the damage that Spider Form can provide (though the form's high evasion might help you dodge the fire breath), and while Ice Form can deal heavy damage, you really don't want to give yourself fire vulnerability when there are dragons around.

History

In 0.14 they were renamed from dragons to fire dragons to avoid confusion.
