'''Dragon''' is a [[monster attribute]] in some variants of ''[[NetHack]]'' that indicates when a [[monster]] is considered draconic in nature, even if it is not a part of the [[dragon]] [[monster class]].

Across the variants that it appears in, the dragon attribute generally determines which monsters can and cannot be affected by [[artifact]]s that target dragons, such as [[Dragonbane]], in addition to any other variant-specific properties.

==dNetHack==
In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], dragon monsters are denoted with the <code>'''MA_DRAGON'''</code> flag.

The [[Half-dragon (starting race)|half-dragon]] [[race]] of hero has draconic and [[Human (monster attribute)|human]] ancestry.

===List of dNetHack monsters===
The monsters listed below are considered to be dragons:

* {{blue|k}} [[winged kobold]]
* {{monsymlink|ki-rin}}
* {{white|D}} all [[Dragon (dNetHack)|dragons]]
* {{brightblue|M}} [[half-dragon mummy]]
* {{black|Z}} [[crow-winged half-dragon]]

==EvilHack==
In [[EvilHack]], dragon monsters are denoted with the <code>'''MH_DRAGON'''</code> flag.

[[Dragonbane (EvilHack)|Dragonbane]] is an artifact that sears dragons on contact, and causes all dragons that see it to become hostile.
