The '''Chaos Dragoon Elite''' is the champion of the chaos dragoons: 276–350 hit points, 29–34 damage, 85–100 Magery and a fire breath. Its swamp dragon wears metal barding.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a chaos dragoon elite''
* '''Corpse:''' ''a chaos dragoon elite corpse''
* '''Looks:''' a human knight in dragon scale armor with a chaos shield, dark boots and a metal-coloured shirt, riding an armored (barded) swamp dragon.
* '''Behavior:''' it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
* '''Bard skills:''' it can't be provoked, calmed with Peacemaking or discorded.
* '''Notoriety:''' it always shows as a murderer (red), so anyone can attack it freely.
* '''Rummages corpses:''' from time to time it takes a random item from a corpse within 2 tiles (''*rummages through a corpse and takes an item*''). Loot your kills quickly near one.
* '''Fast:''' its script gives it quicker-than-normal movement and attacks.

Its resistance settings are commented out in its script (they don't matter under pre-AoS rules anyway).

== Abilities ==
=== Fire breath ===
The chaos dragoon elite breathes fire at its target.
* '''Chance:''' 50% each time it gets a chance to act in combat, then it waits '''30–45 seconds''' before it can breathe again.
* '''Damage:''' 5% of its ''current'' hit points, at most 200 (a full-health chaos dragoon elite deals about 13–17). It does less damage as it gets hurt. (100% fire damage; the type doesn't matter under New Bradford's combat rules.)
* '''Range:''' the target has to be within its sight range and in line of sight.
* It stops for about a second to breathe, so you can see it coming.
* A '''peacemade''' (calmed) or summoned chaos dragoon elite can't use it.

=== Magic ===
It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 85.1–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 85.1–100.0.
* '''Damage spells:''' Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
* '''Other spells:''' about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
* '''Healing:''' it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.

=== Dispels summons ===
Any summoned creature that can be dispelled is '''destroyed instantly''' when it hits the chaos dragoon elite in melee or the chaos dragoon elite hits it. Blade spirits, energy vortexes, summoned elementals and daemons are wasted against it.

== Special behaviors ==
* '''Dragon armor that won't drop.''' It wears a full suit of '''dragon scale armor''' (helm, tunic, sleeves, gloves and leggings) in one of six scale colours, a '''chaos shield''', and a kryss, broadsword or katana. All of these are fixed to it ('''can't be moved'''), so none of them drop as loot.
* '''Its mount survives.''' It rides a '''swamp dragon''' in barding made from one of nine metals (iron, dull copper, shadow iron, copper, bronze, gold, agapite, verite or valorite). When the elite dies the barding is removed and the swamp dragon is set free as an ordinary wild swamp dragon, which you can try to tame.
* '''Dragon-slayer.''' Its melee hits do '''triple damage''' to dragons, white wyrms, swamp dragons, drakes, nightmares, hiryu, lesser hiryu and daemons, so keep those pets away from it.

== Loot ==
Every chaos dragoon elite carries:
* '''Gold:''' about 260–350 in total (from its "Rich" loot)
* '''1 random gem''' (amber, amethyst, citrine, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, star sapphire or tourmaline)
* '''1–3 dragon scales''' of the same colour as its armor

It may also carry:
* A '''magic weapon, armor piece or shield''' (up to 3 chances, from about 20% down to 1% each)
* A '''musical instrument''' (about 1% or less)

=== Carving ===
There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

== Tips ==
* It mixes heavy melee with spells; keep your health high.
* Keep dragon-type pets away: triple damage.
* Its freed swamp dragon can be tamed after the fight.
* It can dispel your summons, and bard skills don't work on it.
* It always shows as a murderer.
* It rummages through corpses, so loot your kills before it reaches them.
