A muscular humanoid with mottled scales, a reptilian tail and small wings. “Trogdor was a man! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Or... maybe he was just a dragon. ... And the Trogdor comes in the night!” -The Brothers Chaps, “Trogdor”. 2003.

Useful Info

Mottled draconians are the sticky flame-themed members of the draconian family, and one of the less threatening. Their sticky flame breath attacks do very little damage by this point in the game (3d5), especially if you have fire resistance. Also, be aware that they themselves are fire resistant, though skilled Fire Elementalists can punch through regardless. They can be found primarily in the Realm of Zot.

Tips & Tricks

• While sticky flame resistance is certainly useful against them, it's rare enough that it's best not to worry about it. Fire resistance will help defend against their breath attacks almost as well, while freezing-branded weapons help make combat against them much easier.
