Non-living

Star King:

'''Non-living''' (or sometimes '''unliving''') is a term that refers to all creatures that are not considered to be alive. All non-living creatures have similar traits that typically somehow concerns a lack of "life force". For example, all non-living creatures are immune to [[Vampire Lord]]s' [[life drain]]. The term non-living was officially introduced in {{sod}} manual, where in the description of [[Elixir of Life]] (a [[combination artifact]]) stated that the artifact "does not work on [[Undead]] or ''non-living'' creatures". Although the description suggests that Undead would not be considered as non-living creatures, it is commonly acknowledged fact that Undead are also non-living beings. Additionally, [[Golem]]s and [[Elemental]]s are considered to be non-living creatures in {{homm3}}.

While [[Stone Gargoyle and Obsidian Gargoyle|Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles]] have traits similar to Golems, they are not Golems, as they are still affected by [[morale]] and mind spells. Gargoyles are the only creatures in the game that are considered solely as non-living creatures.

|} Faerie Dragons' main attack method is to cast offensive spells. A stack of faerie dragons can cast up to five spells per combat. The spells are randomly chosen for the stack, and the occurrence probabilities can be seen from the table on the left. The spells are cast with advanced expertise, and with spell power equal to five times the number of faerie dragons in the stack. If commanded to attack an enemy that is immune to the spell they are currently preparing, they will use a melee attack instead.

While fighting on [[cursed ground]], Faerie Dragons can cast all the spells, but they cause no damage. The only effective spell is [[Magic Arrow]].

Faerie Dragons have a 20% chance to reflect targeted spells with Magic Mirror.

Death stare

Star King: clarification on previous edit

'''Death stare''' is a [[special ability]] of [[Mighty Gorgon]]s. It occurs every time after a stack of Mighty Gorgons have attacked and before the target stack [[Retaliation|retaliates]]. The stare kills instantly when successful. Every Mighty Gorgon in the stack has an individual 10% chance to kill a unit, but no more than ceiling(number of mighty gorgons/10) may be killed. In other words, one gorgon will have a 10% chance to kill one unit with death stare, five gorgons will have a 40.951% chance to kill one unit, and 11 gorgons have 68.618940391% chance to kill at least one unit and a ~2.842% chance of killing two.

Death stare has no effect on [[golem]]s/[[non-living]]s, [[elemental]]s or [[undead]]s.

Star King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMrQf5R84qg evidence that 10+ mighty gorgons do NOT guarantee a death stare kill and that the mechanics previously written on the wiki were incorrect

'''Death stare''' is a [[special ability]] of [[Mighty Gorgon]]s. It occurs every time after a stack of Mighty Gorgons have attacked and before the target stack [[Retaliation|retaliates]]. The stare kills instantly when successful. Every Mighty Gorgon in the stack has an individual 10% chance to kill a unit, but no more than one unit per ten gorgons may be killed. In other words, one gorgon will have a 10% chance to kill one unit with death stare, five gorgons will have a 40.951% chance to kill one unit, and 11 gorgons have 68.618940391% chance to kill at least one unit with a chance of killing up to two.
