From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A baby celestial dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is a juvenile dragon that is one of the few neutral dragons a hero can encounter, and like the adult celestial dragon it has enhanced regeneration. Like other dragons, baby celestial 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 celestial dragons have a strong bite attack and two strong claw attacks. Celestial dragons possess fire resistance, cold resistance, sleep resistance, shock resistance, acid resistance, and stoning resistance.

Generation

Baby celestial dragons are not randomly generated, and normally-created baby celestial dragons are always hostile. A baby celestial dragon can grow up into a celestial dragon, and celestial dragon eggs can hatch into baby sea dragons.

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 ]
