Learn about Dragon traits in Dungeon Keeper, including lava immunity, slow movement, and high defense for disarming traps.
Dragons possess unique traits that make them valuable assets in your dungeon. They are immune to lava and gain experience from sleeping next to it, though this experience gain is hardly noticeable. While they move slowly, they boast the best armor among creatures, functioning as slow-moving tanks with a versatile range of attacks and the ability to heal themselves.
Their immunity to lava and high defense make them ideal for disarming traps, excluding boulder traps. However, Dragons cannot imprison opponents as they lack a physical 'Attack' option. They excel as Trainers, Researchers, and Scavengers. Be aware that Dragons are idle creatures who become angry if not paid, and may steal your money if displeased.
Attracting Dragons requires building a large Lair, preferably next to lava, as their home costs four tiles of lair space. Getting Dragons to high levels early can significantly benefit your dungeon due to their versatile capabilities, but they come at a significant cost.
- Build your Dragon Lair next to lava to potentially gain a small amount of experience from sleeping.
- Utilize Dragons for their high defense and lava immunity when disarming traps.
- Ensure you can afford to pay Dragons regularly to prevent them from stealing your money.
- Consider the four-tile lair space cost when planning your dungeon layout for Dragons.
- High-level Dragons can perform nearly any task effectively in your dungeon.
