'''Shadow dragon scales''' are a type of [[cloak]] that appear in [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. They are made of [[dragon hide]] like all [[dragon scales]].

[[Reading]] a [[scroll of enchant armor]] and selecting shadow dragon scales while they are worn over [[body armor]] creates [[dragon-scaled armor]] that is '''shadow-scaled'''.

==Generation==
Shadow dragon scales are not randomly generated, though they can be [[wish]]ed for or found in [[bones]].

A [[shadow dragon]] that leaves a [[corpse]] behind on death (i.e. always, unless killed by [[disintegration]]) has a {{frac|3}} chance of leaving behind shadow dragon scales, while a dragon revived by the [[wand of undead turning]] or [[spell of turn undead]] only has a {{frac|20}} chance to leave behind scales. Shadow dragon scales dropped this way are always generated +0 and uncursed.

==Description==
While worn, shadow dragon scales grant 3 base [[AC]] and [[ultravision]], and emit an aura of [[darkness]]. Reading a scroll of enchant armor while wearing the scales over a suit or armor will turn the suit into shadow dragon-scaled armor and discard any enchantment on the scales, with further effects dependent on the scroll's [[beatitude]]: a blessed scroll will bless the body armor and repair any [[erosion]], and a cursed scroll will curse the armor and lower its enchantment by 1. Reading a scroll of enchant armor while wearing the scales with no body armor will [[polymorph]] the [[hero]] into a shadow dragon, with the duration of the transformation dependent on the scroll's beatitude (being longer for a blessed scroll and shorter for a cursed one).

Worn shadow-scaled armor grants 5 more base AC, ultravision, [[sleep resistance]], and [[drain resistance]], and emits an aura of darkness. A hero or [[monster]] that polymorphs while wearing shadow dragon scales or shadow-scaled armor will become a shadow dragon, and a hero with [[polymorph control]] can choose if they want to become a shadow dragon or another monster. A hero's shadow-scaled armor is preserved when they revert to their normal form.
