		+
		+	A '''baby red dragon''', {{monsym\|baby red dragon}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. It is a juvenile [[red dragon]] that is associated with the element of [[fire]]. Baby red dragons can be seen via [[infravision]], and like all [[dragon]]s they are [[strong]], [[carnivorous]], [[thick-skinned]], and capable of [[flight]] - they will also seek out [[gold]] and [[gems]] to pick up among other items.
		+
		+	Baby red dragons have a single bite attack and possess [[fire resistance]].
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	{{main\|Baby dragon#Generation}}
		+	Randomly generated baby red dragons are always hostile. A baby red dragon can [[grow up]] into a red dragon, and red dragon [[egg]]s can hatch into baby red dragons.
		+
		+	Baby red dragons are only randomly generated within levels and branches that are biased towards a particular alignment, e.g., [[Oracle (level)\|the Oracle]] and [[Sokoban]].
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	{{main\|Baby dragon#Strategy}}
		+	While they have decent [[AC]] and a somewhat nasty bite, a character sufficiently prepared for the mid-game should not have much trouble with baby red dragons. As pets they can be decent fighters and used as [[flying]] [[steed]]s, but their low [[speed]] makes movement while riding and raising them to adulthood time-consuming - making a baby dragon fast raises their speed to a respectable 12, and a [[magic whistle]] or blessed [[eucalyptus leaf]] may be especially necessary if a character has their own source of speed. Baby dragon [[corpse]]s can be decently filling for meat-eating pets and characters.
		+
		+	==History==
		+	The baby red dragon first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].
		+
		+	==Variants==
		+	Many variants alter the baby red dragon and other baby dragons to make them more varied and/or threatening.
		+
		+	===SLASH'EM===
		+	{{Main\|Dragon (SLASH'EM)}}
		+	As with most other baby dragons in [[SLASH'EM]], baby red dragons have their [[Monster level\|base level]] lowered to 4 and [[Monster difficulty\|difficulty]] lowered to 5. They [[Hits creatures as +x weapon\|hit as a +1 weapon]], and can be randomly generated on ordinary levels with a frequency of 2 - this makes them somewhat of an early-game danger for SLASH'EM characters.
		+
		+	[[Flame Mage]]s that are at [[experience level]]s 7-13 can [[polymorph]] into a baby red dragon via the #[[youpoly]] [[extended command]].
		+
		+	Baby red dragons are also eligible for generation on many levels that place random {{white\|D}} at level creation, and can appear in [[dragon lair]]s and [[the Wyrm Caves]].
		+
		+	===GruntHack===
		+	In [[GruntHack]], baby red dragons have their difficulty slightly increased to 14, and possess two claw attacks and a strong bite attack.
		+
		+	===UnNetHack===
		+	In [[UnNetHack]] and [[DynaHack]], all dragons have their breath weapons, resistances, and names randomized each game, allowing any non-[[Chromatic dragon (UnNetHack)\|chromatic dragon]] to appear as red - the default type of '''baby fire dragon''' is the baby draken.
		+
		+	===dNetHack===
		+	In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], baby red dragons are not randomly generated on any dungeon levels, and they have the same changes to base level and difficulty as in SLASH'EM. Baby red dragons are also not infravisible as they are in ''NetHack''.
		+
		+	===EvilHack===
		+	In [[EvilHack]], baby red dragons are chaotic like their adult forms, and like all baby dragons they are buffed similarly to GruntHack: they have a strong bite attack and two claw attacks (rearranging the same damage dice from GruntHack), and their bite is stronger than that of other baby dragons.
		+
		+	==Encyclopedia entry==
		+	{{encyclopedia\|<poem>
		+	In the West the dragon was the natural enemy of man. Although preferring to live in bleak and desolate regions, whenever it was seen among men it left in its wake a trail of destruction and disease. Yet any attempt to slay this beast was a perilous undertaking. For the dragon's assailant had to contend not only with clouds of sulphurous fumes pouring from its fire breathing nostrils, but also with the thrashings of its tail, the most deadly part of its serpent-like body.
		+	{{right-align\|[ Mythical Beasts by Deirdre Headon (The Leprechaun Library) ]}}
		+
		+	"One whom the dragons will speak with," he said, "that is a dragonlord, or at least that is the center of the matter. It's not a trick of mastering the dragons, as most people think. Dragons have no masters. The question is always the same, with a dragon: will he talk to you or will he eat you? If you can count upon his doing the former, and not doing the latter, why then you're a dragonlord."
		+	{{right-align\|[ The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin ]}}
		+	</poem>}}
		+	{{nethack-367}}
