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.

Monster Version
Monstrous dragons and draconians are capable of identical breath attacks which are also determined by their associated element, though there are some exceptions:
- Monstrous green draconians and swamp dragons have Breathe Poison instead of Breathe Mephitic.
- Monstrous black draconians and storm dragons breathe regular Lightning Bolts in place of the uncontrollable havoc player black draconians create.
- Monstrous mottled draconians and mottled dragons have ranged Sticky Flame breath.
- Player ghosts of draconians will always have a draining breath attack, regardless of the character's initial color.
- The unique draconian Tiamat can breathe whichever breath attack matches her current color.
