Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
The dragon slaying brand causes a weapon to deal +75% bonus damage on attacks against any kind of dragon, drake, draconian. It includes player draconians and those in Dragon Form.
Note that some dragon-like monsters are not vulnerable to dragon slaying, namely wyverns and hydras. Neither are komodo dragons, as those are a type of real-world reptile.
This brand can only be found on the artefact lance Wyrmbane.
