'''Walking Dead and Zombies''' are level 2 creatures of [[Necropolis town]]. They are recruited from the [[Graveyard]].
'''Rust Dragons''' are level 7 [[neutral creature]]s recruited from the [[Sulfurous Lair]], which can only be found from the [[Adventure Map]].

== General tactics and info ==
Placing Rust Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the [[Skeleton Transformer]] will give you [[Bone Dragon]]s instead of regular [[Skeleton]]s.


== General Tactics and Info ==
With their incredibly high speed, health, and attack damage, Rust Dragons are generally considered the third strongest creatures in the game, following only [[Azure Dragon]]s and [[Crystal Dragon]]s in raw stats.
Zombies are bad. Tragically bad, only due to their lowest speed in the game, next to the [[peasant]]. They're so bad, the AI computers usually won't buy them up or upgrade their graveyard (and you possibly shouldn't either) in the early game, they can usually go toe-to-to with another second-level melee creature, but that's about the best you can hope for from these extremely weak level 2 creatures. Even when defending a castle, there usually are better deals than them. Save your gold. Necropolis Town is not the cheapest, and you'll want to be able to buy up those [[Dread Knights]] and [[Ghost Dragons]] when they become available.


== Special ability disease ==
== Acid breath special ability ==
Zombies have disease [[special ability]], which may occur before the target stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. The attack has 20% chance of causing the target to become ill, which causes the target stack to have their [[Primary skill|attack and defense]] values reduced by two for a period of three [[round]]s. Disease can only be removed with [[Cure]] spell.
Acid breath [[special ability]] may occur after a stack of Rust Dragons have attacked target creature stack and before the stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. The breath reduces the target stack's [[defense]] by 3, and has 30 % chance to cause additional [[damage]] amount of 25 points per attacking unit.


== Heroes with a specialty ==
== Appearance ==
Rust Dragons were added in {{ab}} so there are no Rust Dragons or [[Sulfurous Lair]]s in {{roe}}.


*{{H|Straker|Death Knight}} has walking dead as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Walking Dead or Zombies for each level attained after 2nd  level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

{{creature 'see also'|up=* [[Cloak of the Undead King]]}}
Even though in the game files themselves the Rust Dragon and other neutral dragons are considered to be level 7, the official editor shows they are level 10 (8 for [[Faerie Dragon]]). This is either due to code limitations and impossibility of creating a unit with tier higher than 7, either because the developers didn't have time, motivation or reason to add a new creature level in the game code and invest time in that, just telling us they are level 10, respectively 8. As such, even now their levels are still being debated.

Rust Dragons are level 7 neutral creatures recruited from the Sulfurous Lair, which can only be found from the Adventure Map.

"Rust Dragons are known to hunt Gorgons, and live and feed in sulfur mines. With this appetite, Rust Dragons spew a concentrated acid as their primary attack. This acid is capable of eating through the strongest armor, lowering the defense of its target while inflicting further damage." AB manual

General tactics and info

Placing Rust Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the Skeleton Transformer will give you Bone Dragons instead of regular Skeletons.

With their incredibly high speed, health, and attack damage, Rust Dragons are generally considered the third strongest creatures in the game, following only Azure Dragons and Crystal Dragons in raw stats.

Acid breath special ability

Acid breath special ability may occur after a stack of Rust Dragons have attacked target creature stack and before the stack has a chance to retaliate. The breath reduces the target stack's defense by 3, and has 30 % chance to cause additional damage amount of 25 points per attacking unit.

Appearance

Rust Dragons were added in Armageddon's Blade so there are no Rust Dragons or Sulfurous Lairs in Restoration of Erathia.

Trivia

Even though in the game files themselves the Rust Dragon and other neutral dragons are considered to be level 7, the official editor shows they are level 10 (8 for Faerie Dragon). This is either due to code limitations and impossibility of creating a unit with tier higher than 7, either because the developers didn't have time, motivation or reason to add a new creature level in the game code and invest time in that, just telling us they are level 10, respectively 8. As such, even now their levels are still being debated.
