A '''sea dragon''', {{brightblue|D}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The sea dragon is a type of [[Dragon (EvilHack)|dragon]] that is [[amphibious]] and capable of [[swimming]] rather than flying, and is [[unsolid]] due to being composed of water. Like all [[Dragon (monster attribute)|dragons]], sea dragons are also [[strong]], [[carnivorous]], [[oviparous]], and can [[see invisible]] - they will also seek out [[gold]], [[gems]] and [[magical item]]s to pick up. [[Knight]]s cannot tame sea dragons unless they are neutral.

Sea dragons have a [[breath]] weapon that sprays blasts of water to inflict physical damage, and do not reflect off walls like other [[ray]]s; they also have a strong bite attack, two claw attacks, an [[engulfing]] attack that can [[drown]] victims, and a [[passive attack]] that [[wet]]s the attacker's inventory. Sea dragons have a vulnerability to [[shock]] damage.

==Generation==
Randomly-generated sea dragons are always hostile. A [[baby sea dragon]] can [[grow up]] into a sea dragon.

Heroes and monsters that [[polymorph]] while wearing [[sea dragon scales]] or sea dragon scaled-armor will turn into shimmering dragons.

Sea dragons may appear among the hostile {{white|D}} generated in [[throne room]]s, and can also appear among the monsters randomly generated by [[looting]] a [[throne]] while [[confused]] and carrying gold (provided there is no [[chest]] on the level).

Sea dragons have a {{frac|3}} chance of dropping a set of uncursed +0 sea dragon scales upon death unless [[disintegrated]], and the chance is reduced to {{frac|20}} if the dragon was [[revived]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
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.
[ 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."
[ The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin ]
