A shimmering dragon, D, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack. It is an adult dragon that has displacement. Like most other dragons in EvilHack, shimmering dragons 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. Shimmering dragons cannot be tamed by a Knight unless they are lawful.
Shimmering dragons have a stun-inducing breath weapon, a strong bite attack, two claw attacks, and an engulfing attack that can digest victims.
Eating a shimmering dragon corpse or tin will cause hallucination.
Generation
Randomly-generated shimmering dragons are always hostile. A baby shimmering dragon can grow up into a shimmering dragon.
Heroes and monsters that polymorph while wearing shimmering dragon scales or shimmering dragon-scaled armor will turn into shimmering dragons.
Shimmering 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).
Shimmering dragons have a 1⁄3 chance of dropping a set of uncursed +0 shimmering dragon scales upon death unless disintegrated, and the chance is reduced to 1⁄20 if the dragon was revived.
