| Reference | EvilHack 0.8.4 - monst.c, line 1749 |
A baby shadow dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is a juvenile dragon that has an affinity to darkness like the adult shadow dragon, including the ability to passively emit a dark aura and ultravision that makes dark areas easy to traverse. Like other dragons, baby shadow dragons are also strong, carnivorous, thick-skinned, can see invisible, and are capable of flight - they will also seek out gold, gems and magical items to pick up.
Baby shadow dragons have a strong bite attack and two claw attacks. Baby shadow dragons possess sleep resistance, poison resistance, and drain resistance.
A baby shadow dragon corpse is poisonous to eat.
Generation
Randomly-generated shadow dragons are always hostile. A baby shadow dragon can grow up into a shadow dragon, and shadow dragon eggs can hatch into baby shadow dragons.
Baby shadow dragons are only randomly generated within levels and branches that are biased towards a particular alignment, e.g., the Oracle and Sokoban.
Encyclopedia entry
In the West the dragon was the natural enemy of man. Although
preferring to live in bleak and desolate regions, whenever it
was seen among men it left in its wake a trail of destruction
and disease. Yet any attempt to slay this beast was a perilous
undertaking. For the dragon's assailant had to contend
not only with clouds of sulphurous fumes pouring from its fire
breathing nostrils, but also with the thrashings of its tail,
the most deadly part of its serpent-like body.
[ Mythical Beasts by Deirdre Headon (The Leprechaun Library) ]
"One whom the dragons will speak with," he said, "that is a
dragonlord, or at least that is the center of the matter. It's
not a trick of mastering the dragons, as most people think.
Dragons have no masters. The question is always the same, with
a dragon: will he talk to you or will he eat you? If you can
count upon his doing the former, and not doing the latter, why
then you're a dragonlord."
[ The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin ]
