Common traits
With the exception of the chromatic dragon, each dragon has a breath weapon, elemental resistance(s) and color randomly assigned to each of them at the start of a game, making it impossible to predict breath type based on name or color. All dragons of the same name or color within a game are of the same type, and appear as D until identified - dragons are auto-identified upon witnessing their breath attack, and identifying one dragon also identifies all dragons of that type (including babies), as well as their scales and scale mail; the reverse also applies. The stats of the dragons themselves are identical to the dragons of NetHack.
The chromatic dragon is a rare non-unique form of dragon that has the resistances and breath weapons of all dragons similar to the Chromatic Dragon of NetHack (who is known as Tiamat in these variants), and their scales and scale mail grant the same properties; the glowing dragon is a form of dragon that emits light, and their scales and scale mail have the same property in addition to the random property they are assigned. Both variants also add lava breath as a possible breath weapon for dragons: lava breath deals heavy fire damage, melts through walls instead of rebounding like other breath weapons, and creates a square of lava where the breath ray terminates.
Below is a table that lists the names given to dragons and their scale types, alongside the default set of properties, breath weapon and color associated with each one:
| Dragon | Breath | Intrinsics | Scale properties | Corpse properties (adults only) |

| amphitere (reflecting dragon) | cold | cold resistance | reflection | none |
| draken (fire dragon) | fire | fire resistance | fire resistance | fire resistance |
| lindworm (ice dragon) | cold | cold resistance | cold resistance | cold resistance |
| sarkany (sleep dragon) | sleep | sleep resistance | sleep resistance | sleep resistance |
| sirrush (disintegration dragon) | disintegration | disintegration resistance | disintegration resistance | disintegration resistance |
| leviathan (electric dragon) | lightning | shock resistance | shock resistance | shock resistance |
| wyvern (poison dragon) | poison | poison resistance | poison resistance | poison resistance |
