There was a really good thread about this but I could'nt find it.

So, we can get dragon and drake scales but we never actually see any. Why? Well, time to change that.

So first there will be the drake(t1-t2) it looks like a small dragon with no wings.(has wings in t2) It scales and helm resembles the drake scale armor.(3*)
it just crawls around on its claws to move arround in t1 in t2 it does the same thing but uses its wings to dash, but not to fly since they are too weak.
First attack.
Scratch. Does split piercing and normal damage and looks like a zombie's attack. In t2 this has a low chance to inflict weak fire and/ or whatever the type of drake it is.
Dragon breath. Looks like a zombie's breath but goes more forward then to the sides. Does pure fire damage and/or whatever type of dragon it is.
Tackle. The drake launches itself at you, hurting you and themselves. It comes at the same speed as a lumbers hit, (slower in t1) and does heavy normal aand piercing damage. The attack hurts the drake more depending on how hurt you are.
Tail swipe. (t2 and only) the drake swipes it's tail at a 4 block range 180 degrees in front of it, dealing split piercing and fire/or whatever type of drake it is.

Ok guys i am going to do the dragon a bit later, just show me any problems and some feedback. Thanks.

You want an explination? Because I said so. Dragons take too much work, and Drakon are not dragons. Neither are Chromalisks.

Yeah but...

There is no reasoning behind why drake scales and dragon scales are dropped by beasts. Even if they were extinct it still makes no sense because soon they would run out of bones and scales to eat. Also the beast family is a joke as of now, and this would make them a class ti reckon with.
Also that first part was a typo. I meant you can get dragon scales and drake scales.

Unnecessary.

"0/10 it takes too much work."

A creative, difficult enemy that would be interesting to fight isn't worth the trouble? Well, might as well trash that new boss they said they were working on while they're at it, too.

Chromalisks have dragon skin, and when you kill them, they drop it, much like Devilites dropping their coffee after poked in the eye by a Fiend VH FF. There, I said it. Dragons exist, and if you want one, go buy a chamelion. Note that it doesn't breathe fire or fly if upsetted, though.

@Draycos

Umm...who said that specific quote? And before you point fingers at me, read my comment again. No not this comment, or the one above this one. The one above your comment. Not THAT one! That one is Skyguarder's! The one ABOVE Skyguarder's! There you go. Now, check that quote that you used and check if it is stated in the comment I already pointed out to you WORD FOR WORD.

"Dragons take too much work."

The "0/10" part was implied and just for comedic effect.

I dont want to make this like skyrim. I want to balance the beast family.

@Use
Look you've trashed my thread enough you can stop talking now.
Also false, chromalisks don't have dragon skin, they are meant to resemble chameleons. Chameleons are branched quite far away from where dragons would most likely come from in the family of lizards if they existed. Also if they had dragon skin where did they get it from? I am pretty sure chameleons and dragons can't reproduce, but what do I know? In addition, the drakon mustve had some genetic influence off of a dragon from where it is too look like one. Seraphinx was near the ruins of owlites and maskeraith was exposed to high levels of poison, and mustve saw ghosts. Also Dragons probably did exist since some nps talk about encounters and stories of them. And even if that is false the cradle can absorb entities, thus possible sucking in a world of dragons. Or the insane devilities will summon a portal letting dragons out.

Ok now to the dragons.

Ok so the dragon is an enemy that is relatively rare, and can fly(not all the time) and dodges.
Scratch. Same thing as drake but obviously stronger.
Dragonbreath. Same thing as drake but is longer distance, time and the dragon is much more vunerable since the attack is much more lethal and the dragon moves his heat slowly spreading fire and/or whatever element it is. However this move can be interuptes if a projectile is shot at his mouth at the startup.
Tackle. The dragon crouches, and surrounds its body with it's allocated element, and charges with great power. This deals heavy normal damage and stun.
Roar. The dragon roars, pushing you back if you get within 3 blocks.of range and lowers attack and defense. This does no damage.
Tail swipe. The dragon's tail pulses with energy and it swipes its tail at a 6 block range, at about 200 degrees. This deals pure piercing.
Wing shield. The dragon shields itself with it's wings lowering damage dealt to it, and then whips open its wings dealing very little damage but stuns and pushes you back a far radius. This varies to how close you were and if you got hit or not.
When the dragon dies it roars(the attack) and collapses. Then its body dissolves, in a much similar manner to which vanaduke dies.

Now the stats.

Drakes will have 250 health in lower t1 and 315 in highee t1
Drakes will have 360 health in lower t2 and 415 in highee t2
Dragons have 700 health in higher t2 and 1000 health in lower t3 and 1900 health in higher t3.
Dragons can completly ignore damage if it comes in too quickly (making it not too easily blitzed) and can dodge but not very far. Only as
uch as a cromalisk.
Drakes cannot ignore damage, but can dodge very quickly, by using its wings and can even dodge a final flourish hit.
When attacking dragons can turn to whoever is closest to them, much like the old unnerfed wolvers.

From Nick's own Tumblr, on the creation of the Snarbolax:

Since the players are knights I thought their first big accomplishment should have them slaying a dragon-like beast as a rite of passage into a more difficult chapter of the game. One of the rules for Spiral Knights from the beginning was ‘no ordinary dragons’ so I went with a big bad wolf type of encounter instead.

No they arent zombies.

Similar attacks to zombies. And before you call this a rip-off of zombies look at that construct that shoots beams. It's attacks look the exact same.

@Orbwanter yes you make a valid point but if he didn't want dragons, then why are they mentioned and why does a sprite look like one? Kinda messed up there.
