-Three [[Chromatic dragon (UnNetHack)|Chromatic Dragons]] wait at the bottom of The Dragon Caves, guarding a stash on the opposite side of the level where the player enters from. The large river separating the player from the Chromatic Dragons necessitates finding a way to cross water if the player wants to reach the dragons and their stash. The stash is blocked by a [[boulder]] and each space in it contains 600 + 10d100 [[gold]], a gem, a [[ring]] (80%), an [[amulet]] (40%), and a [[potion]] [[Potion of gain level|of gain level]], [[Potion of gain ability|gain ability]], [[Potion of full healing|full healing]], or  [[Potion of enlightenment|enlightenment]] (60%) with the exception of the top space, which only has a gem and 600 + 12d100 gold. There are also piles of coins under the boulder and around the entrance of the stash, which will likely be picked up by the Chromatic Dragons by the time you meet them.

-The odds of obtaining chromatic dragon scales from the 3 dragons at the end of the branch depends on the version of UnNetHack. Prior to 6.0.0, there was a ~30% <!-- 29.63% to be exact --> chance that none of the three chromatic dragons drop their scales, and the player could stock up on [[wand of undead turning|wands of undead turning]] to slightly increase their odds. After version 6.0.0, the chance for no scales to drop increased to ~58%<!-- 57.87% to be exact -->, and wands of undead turning cannot increase these odds, as revived dragons can't drop scales past version 6.0.0.

 The terrain in The Dragon Caves is not randomly generated; each floor has the same layout every playthrough. Monsters, loot, and stair placement, however, is randomized.
-Each level in The Dragon Caves features a large number of [[dragon]]s and some [[worm]]s, as well as [[tree]]s and the new [[muddy swamp]] {{green|≈}} : muddy swamps [[wet]]s objects like [[moat]]s do, but don't carry the risk of [[drowning]] and can be crossed without [[levitating]], [[flying]], or [[water walking]] if you’re willing to take water damage. The new [[Chromatic dragon (UnNetHack)|Chromatic Dragons]] (not to be confused for the [[Chromatic Dragon|caveman quest nemesis]]) can be found on the final level of this branch, and their [[Chromatic dragon scale mail|scales]] grant the resistances of ''all'' other [[dragon scale mail]]s. All levels are [[Light|dark]], can be flipped horizontally and/or vertically, and, except for the final one, allow [[teleport|teleporting]] .
