Common traits

All of the dragons from NetHack, including the un-deferred shimmering dragon, have their stats and other qualities changed:

• Baby dragons are not randomly generated at all.
• Adult dragons have stronger bite and claw attacks, their breath weapons are generally stronger and ignore "mundane" sources of reflection, and they have an additional tail-lashing attack. Their AC is improved similarly to SLASH'EM, and they also possess natural damage reduction.

Dragons have catsight and can track monsters via scent.
