A gold dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack. It is an adult dragon associated with the element of light. Gold dragons can be seen via infravision and emit light from their body in a 3-square radius centered on themselves—their scales also emit light in a 2-square radius centered on them, and grant the dragons infravision. Like all dragons, they are strong, carnivorous, oviparous, thick-skinned, can see invisible, and are capable of flight - they will also seek out gold, gems and magical items to pick up. Gold dragons cannot be tamed by a Knight unless they are lawful.
Gold dragons have a fire breath weapon, a strong bite attack, two claw attacks, and an engulfing attack that can digest victims. Gold dragons possess fire resistance and have a vulnerability to cold.
Eating a gold dragon corpse or tin grants +50% (1⁄2) additional fire resistance.
Generation
Randomly-generated gold dragons are always hostile. A baby gold dragon can grow up into a gold dragon.
Heroes and monsters that polymorph while wearing gold dragon scales or gold dragon-scaled armor will turn into gold dragons.
Gold 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).
Gold dragons have a 1⁄3 chance of dropping a set of uncursed +0 gold dragon scales upon death unless disintegrated, and the chance is reduced to 1⁄20 if the dragon was revived.
