Dragons w/ armour

Can someone provide a link to any thread where dragons wearing armour have shown up, or some other proof of such an occurrence? I left the relevant information in since it seems a plausible bug, but I wouldn't mind seeing some confirmation. --Retro 22:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I've never seen or even heard of this before; but I think that it might actually be an intentional feature that Toady put in; possibly alluding to some future HFS. 71.194.101.232 03:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

It can easily be tested in the arena (I for example made a dragon wearing all adamantine armor because I had not removed those items after making my dragon slaying dwarf character. Needless to say it was VERY hard to kill) Now if you mean any dragons actually showing up in the world durning a normal fortress mode game I dunno about that ;) --Railick 19:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)Railick

Dragons are very ewasy to kill with even unexperienced troops provided they have shields. They aren't powerful in close combat, in fact, most of their attacks will glance off even against silk clothes. These problems are probably related to the general balance of combat in 0.31.x, but this should be alluded to. 200.222.3.3 23:42, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Breeding

Is it possible to establish a breeding pair of dragons? This fortress is now making that its goal.

Dragons have no [CHILD] token, so they will never breed. --Quietust 12:43, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

You can make everything breed with modding, so that should not be any problem.--Niggy 15:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to know if the egg update (which specifically mentioned dragon eggs) means we can finally have dragon farms. Looking into the raws, it doesn't seem like dragons can be bred in dwarf mode, since they (still) don't have any child form and don't have any other special egg-related tags (that I noticed). Maybe Toady meant we could find effectively infertile eggs in adventure mode dragon nests just for the sake of it? I hope not. Someone with a dungeon master has to test this.--Peglegpenguin 22:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Butchering returns

Updated with information I got in version 0.31.11. Butchered a decapitated and mutilated dragon corpse with an accomplished butcher, not sure if that factors into returns. Didn't get any information about eyes, brain or skin. Also one scale.

Well that happens if you butcher a MUTILATED CORPSE FROM A DECAPITATED DRAGON.--Brakarg 03:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Even arena mode don't shows grown dragon's amount properly, setting itself somewhere before fully-grown, which can be seen from Age change test. Disparity noted and raw size compared. AutomataKittay 17:47, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Arena Mode -- Breathing Fire

Is it possible to breathe fire manually in arena mode? (f)iring won't work..

No. Special abilities aren't able to be used by players.
