[[GruntHack]]'s '''dragons''' are more fearsome than their vanilla counterparts.

== Shimmering dragons ===
Shimmering dragons are present in GruntHack, as the [[deferred features|deferred feature]]; the adult form possess intrinsic [[displacement]].

== Differences between NetHack dragons and GruntHack dragons ==
Dragons in GruntHack deal twice as much damage with their clawing attacks (4d4 vs. 2d4) and possessing an [[engulfing]] [[digestion]] attack. Baby dragons now have a 3d8 bite (up from 2d6) and two 2d4 clawing attacks.
