Useful Info

The ice dragon is a moderately powerful dragon capable of breathing deadly bolts of cold (3d24). Not surprisingly, they are immune to cold damage, but vulnerable to fire. They appear commonly in the Realm of Zot and the lowest floors of the Dungeon, but can show up dangerously out of depth in vaults as early as the Lair or certain versions of the Ice Cave.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you find one early on, escaping is a good idea. Without at least rC+ for its breath and decent AC for its melee attacks, they can do immense damage to low- or mid-level characters.
  • Fire Magic (or at least a weapon of flaming or wand of fire) will deal extra damage.
  • Butchering (but not sacrificing) an ice dragon corpse may create an ice dragon hide. You can enchant this to create ice dragon armour (9 AC, -3 EV, rC++, rF-), a powerful medium-weight set of armour.
