A baby shimmering dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. It is a juvenile shimmering dragon that lacks the displacement of their adult forms, but has notably better AC than other baby dragons. Like all dragons, baby shimmering dragons are strong, carnivorous, thick-skinned, and capable of flight - they will also seek out gold and gems to pick up among other items.

Baby shimmering dragons have a single bite attack, and are one of three baby dragons in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM to not hit as an enchanted weapon alongside baby silver dragons and baby deep dragons.

Generation

Randomly generated baby shimmering dragons are always hostile. A baby shimmering dragon can grow up into a shimmering dragon, and shimmering dragon eggs can hatch into baby shimmering dragons.

In addition to random generation, baby shimmering dragons may also appear in dragon lairs and the Wyrm Caves.[1]
