Useful Info

Komodo dragons are surprisingly dangerous lizards with a vicious bite. In spite of their name, they have no breath attack. They are commonly found in the Lair and around its entrance.

Tips & Tricks

  • Komodo dragons can prove dangerous for characters first entering the Lair. Soften them up from a distance, particularly if you have poison available.
  • Heavily armored characters can go toe-to-toe with them relatively easily, though their bites can still take a sizable chunk of HP off. Consider backing away if you encounter them with another threat, like a herd of yaks or a hydra.
  • Alternatively, if you lack the killing power to take them out swiftly, this is a perfect time to exercise discretion and leave it for later. It moves as fast as the average player, so escaping before the fight breaks out shouldn't be too hard.

History

Prior to 0.15, komodo dragons did less damage but could quickly make you extremely sick (in the pink or red zone).
