• Gains a small amount of experience over time by sleeping next to lava terrain.
• Incapable of subduing enemies for Imprisonment without killing them due to Flame Breath.

Phases:

1. Base Dragon: Available from Moonbrush Wood onwards.
2. Level 5 Dragon: Can be created by training Demon Spawn beyond level 10 once you have reached the Moonbrush Wood level in the campaign.

Strategy:

• Dragons are excellent for research and scavenging due to their high efficiency in these tasks.
• Their high armour and health, combined with the Heal ability, make them superb frontline tanks.
• Avoid building an army solely of Dragons due to their high cost and food consumption. A maximum of eight is recommended in most situations.
• Ensure Dragons are paid regularly to prevent them from leaving your dungeon.
• Their Flame Breath ability is too powerful for weakening enemies for imprisonment; use creatures without it for that purpose.
• The Grenade ability is best used when possessing a Dragon, offering area damage and the ability to destroy boulder traps.
• Meteor and Word of Power are powerful area-of-effect abilities useful for clearing out groups of enemies or controlling crowds.
• Dragons can be created by training Demon Spawn beyond level 10 after reaching the Moonbrush Wood level.
• Attraction Requirements: Treasure Room at least 25 tiles, Lair at least 15 tiles.
