'''Cave dragons''' are gigantic beasts which were once [[dragon]]s who have adapted to life underground. Unlike their above-ground [[dragon|brethren]], they do not breathe fire, but they do appear to be immune to the effects of fire. Happily, they are not immune to the effects of a [[magma|dwarf's best friend]]. They have wings (which lack the ability to fly) and white scales, but besides this are not nearly as dangerous as their above ground cousins (due to being smaller and not breathing fire). Oddly, despite their description, regular dragons do not have wings, much less functional ones, though cave dragons do. | '''Cave dragons''' are gigantic beasts which were once [[dragon]]s who have adapted to life underground.

Cave dragons are among the largest creatures in the game, and grow into their adult size of 15,000,000 after 1000 years. The butchery values in the right-hand column assume that an adult is being butchered: worlds younger than 1000 years will only have juvenile cave dragons, which drop far less meat. | Cave dragons are among the largest creatures in the game, and grow into their adult size of 15,000,000 after 1000 years.
