- This article is about the monster in SlashTHEM. For the dragons in UnNetHack and DynaHack that can be randomized to appear as a "baby stone dragon", see Dragon (UnNetHack).
A baby stone dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in SlashTHEM. It is a juvenile stone dragon that is associated with stone. Like all dragons, baby stone 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 stone dragons are also lithivores and will eat rocks, gems and other stone items they come across.
Baby stone dragons have a single bite attack. They possess stoning resistance and hit as a +1 weapon.
Generation
Randomly generated baby stone dragons are always hostile. A baby stone dragon can grow up into a stone dragon, and stone dragon eggs can hatch into baby stone dragons.
In addition to random generation, baby stone dragons may also appear in dragon lairs and the Wyrm Caves. Baby stone 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).
Strategy
Baby dragons in general are quite troublesome for many a hero in the early game, and their bites deal sizable damage considering the health pools of early characters.
