The '''Serpentine Dragon''' is a good-aligned dragon that only attacks the evil. It's a master spellcaster with a thousand Intelligence, breathes fire, and can turn your own pets against you.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a serpentine dragon''
* '''Corpse:''' ''a dragon corpse''
* '''Behavior:''' it attacks creatures and players with negative karma (evil) on sight, ignores everyone else, and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
* '''Target switching:''' it re-picks its target whenever it moves, so it may switch to whoever is closest.

|}

== Abilities ==
=== Fire breath ===
The serpentine dragon 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 serpentine dragon deals about 24). 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 serpentine dragon can't use it.

=== Magic ===
It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 110.1–120.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 100.1–110.0.
* '''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 serpentine dragon in melee or the serpentine dragon hits it. Blade spirits, energy vortexes, summoned elementals and daemons are wasted against it.

== Special behaviors ==
* '''Turns pets on their masters.''' When a tamed pet hits it in melee, there's a '''20%''' chance the pet turns around and attacks '''its own master'''. (On later eras this is replaced by extra pet damage; on New Bradford's pre-SE rules the pet-turning is what you get, with no bonus damage against pets.)

== Loot ==
Every serpentine dragon carries:
* '''Gold:''' about 804–1,300 in total (from its "Filthy Rich" ×2 loot)
* '''2 random gems''' (amber, amethyst, citrine, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, star sapphire or tourmaline)

It may also carry:
* A '''magic weapon, armor piece or shield''' (up to 8 chances, from about 33% down to 5% each)
* A '''musical instrument''' (about 4% or less)
* A '''level 4 treasure map''' (1% chance)

=== Carving ===
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
* '''19 raw ribs'''
* '''20 barbed hides''', doubled to '''40''' in Felucca
* '''6 scales''', either black or white (random)

== Location ==
* '''Champion spawn:''' it is a level 4 creature of the ''Forest Lord'' champion spawn (champion: [[Bestiary/Lord Oaks|Lord Oaks]]), so it appears at the fixed ''Forest Lord'' altar at Felucca 5559, 3757 (Lost Lands). Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.
''Champion spawns only exist if the staff have generated them (with the staff command <code>[GenChamps</code>); the code doesn't say whether that's been done on New Bradford.''

== Tips ==
* Leave your pets at home: one in five of their melee hits can make them attack you.
* Only players with negative karma get attacked on sight.
* Its 480 hit points are low for a dragon, but its 1,000+ Intelligence fuels a lot of Magery.
