Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.


When draconians reach XL 7, they receive a colour and an associated draconian breath attack. Each colour receives its own unique attack, except for grey draconians (they stop breathing entirely and become immune to certain effects as a result). While these attacks are fairly powerful, they all come with a significant hunger cost and inflict the breath status effect, preventing you from using them repeatedly in combat.

  • Red: A bolt of flame which leaves clouds of fire in its trail.
  • White: A bolt of frost which ignores AC and knocks back flying creatures.
  • Green: A bolt of noxious fumes, which leaves Mephitic Clouds in its trail. The monster version instead creates poison clouds.
  • Yellow: A glob of acid which corrodes equipment and can cause bleeding.
  • Black: Creates uncontrollable wild explosions of lightning mixed with (also uncontrollable) lightning bolts.
  • Pale: A line of steam clouds which deal minor damage, but also block LOS.
  • Purple: A bolt of power which deals irresistible damage and remove buffs.
  • Mottled: Breathes Sticky Flame on an adjacent monster which may splash onto other adjacent monsters.
  • Undead (Lichform): Breathes a Bolt of Draining at a line of targets.

The monster versions of draconians have the same breath attacks (also depending on their colour).
