Baby deep dragon (SLASH'EM)

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A baby deep dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. It is a juvenile deep dragon that lacks the poison and level draining of their adult forms, but has somewhat better AC than other baby dragons. Like all dragons, baby deep 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 deep dragons have a poisonous 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 shimmering dragons.

Generation

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

In addition to random generation, baby deep dragons may also appear in dragon lairs and the Wyrm Caves.[1] Baby deep dragons may appear among the hostile D generated in throne rooms, and can also appear among the monsters randomly generated by looting a throne while confused and carrying gold (provided there is no chest on the level).[2]
