''"Red and black dragons with their great mobility, flying ability, and powerful [[breath attack|breath weapons]] are among the most effective units in the game.

== Tactics and info ==
=== Common characteristics for all golems: ===
=== Toughness ===
* [[Spell damage resistance]]
With the health value of 300, Black Dragon is one of the toughest creatures in the game. In the original {{roe}}, it was toughest of the [[dragon]]s and its health was only matched by [[Titan]]s' and [[Ancient Behemoth]]s' (and by Haspid's in {{hota}}). It also has more Defense than either of those creatures. {{ab}} expansion introduced four new dragons, [[Faerie Dragon]], [[Rust Dragon]]s, [[Crystal Dragon]]s and [[Azure Dragon]]s, which all are neutral creatures and have more health than Black Dragons.
* Immunity to following special abilities:
** {{Cn|Azure Dragon}}: [[Fear]]
** {{Cn|Ghost Dragon}}: [[Aging]]
** {{Cn|Lich}}[[Lich_and_Power_Lich| and Power Lich]]: [[Death cloud|Death Cloud]]
** {{Cn|Mighty Gorgon}}: [[Death stare|Death Stare]]
** {{Cn|Pit Lord}}: [[Summon demons|Summon Demons]]
** {{Cn|Vampire Lord}}: [[Life drain|Life Drain]]
** {{Cn|Wyvern Monarch}}: [[Poison]]
** {{Cn|Zombie}}: [[Disease]]
* Immunity to following spells:
** {{Sn|Animate Dead}}
** {{Sn|Resurrection}}
** {{Sn|Destroy Undead}}
** {{Mind spells}}


=== Tactics ===
Because of the Black Dragons' spell immunity, they are suitable to be used in tactics often called [[dragogeddon]]. In dragogeddon, a hero with preferably high [[power skill]] and [[Armageddon]] spell attacks with an army only consisting of creatures immune or very resilient to the Armageddon spell. The tactics may be used in "hit-and-run" tactic, to advance through wandering creatures or even to slay enemy heroes. In {{roe}} series, Black Dragons were the best creature to use in dragogeddon.


The benefit of using Black Dragons in this tactics is their high initiative, in other words, their speed. Only [[Phoenix]]es and [[Gold Dragon]]s are faster creatures that are immune to Armageddon. High initative enables hero to act first in the combat, and this way possibly win the battle before enemy gets a chance to flee, surrender or otherwise cause resistance.
===== Heroes with a specialty =====


=== Semantics ===
*{{H|Josephine|Alchemist}} has golems as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]].
Together with the [[Titan]], the Black Dragon has become a symbol of the Heroes series since it first appeared in Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars.

__NOTOC__
=====Magic Immunity=====
This spell immunity is a double-edged sword, though, as it makes both Red and Black dragons immune to most beneficial spells, including [[Resurrection]]. Placing Red or Black Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the [[Skeleton Transformer]] will give you [[Bone Dragon]]s instead of regular [[Skeleton]]s.
 
Both dragons are affected by [[Dispel]].
 
=====Hates Titans=====
Though it is stated in the manual, Black Dragons do not hate [[Giant]]s.
