From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A huge pseudodragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is a carnivorous and domestic dragon-like creature that is capable of flight, but is slower than the previous stage of pseudodragon, the winged pseudodragon. Huge pseudodragons also have a tendency to wander, will pick up gold and gems, and can be seen via infravision.

A huge pseudodragon has a bite attack, two claw attacks, and a breath weapon similar to that of half-dragons.

Generation

Huge pseudodragons are not randomly generated. A winged pseudodragon can grow up into a huge pseudodragon, and a huge pseudodragon can grow up into a gigantic pseudodragon.

Origin

Pseudodragons originate from Dungeons & Dragons, where they resemble true dragons in appearance but are usually far smaller and far more docile, which makes them suitable as familiars for wizards. They do not usually grow to the sizes shown in dNetHack and notdNetHack, which rivals that of the true dragons in those variants.
