Dragon. Flies. Spellcaster: Random offensive spell. Protected by Magic Mirror.

Faerie Dragons are level 7 neutral creatures recruited from the Magic Forest.

"Faerie Dragons are deceptively cute, but in truth, are mischievous tricksters. Little is known about these notorious troublemakers. What is known is found more in storybooks than magical tomes. Some say they are invisible. Some say they can cast spells. Some say Magic Mirror is one of their natural defensive traits." AB manual

Magic Forest

Unlike the majority of dragons, Faerie Dragons don't have breath attack, i.e. they damage only the troops directly attacked by them. Placing Faerie Dragons (as well as any living Dragons) in the Skeleton Transformer will give you Bone Dragons instead of regular Skeletons.

Spellcaster[edit | hide]

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 (N). If commanded to attack an enemy that is immune to the spell they are currently preparing, they will use a melee attack instead. However, the melee damage of this dragon is comparable to that of a level 6 creature, so don't expect them to do much damage.

Faerie Dragon's Spells:
   Spell       Lvl       %       School       Damage   
 Magic Arrow 1 10% all 20+50*N
 Ice Bolt 2 22% Water 20+100*N
 Lightning Bolt 2 22% Air 20+125*N
 Fireball 3 21% Fire 30+50*N
 Frost Ring 3 10% Water 30+50*N
 Inferno 4 5% Fire 40+50*N
 Meteor Shower 4 5% Earth 50+125*N
 Chain Lightning 4 5% Air 50+200*N

Notes:

  • The spells cast by Faerie Dragons are subject to all the damage increases/reductions listed on the corresponding spell's page (e.g. the controlling hero's Sorcery skill).
  • 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 are unaffected by the Orb of Inhibition and Anti-Magic Garrisons, but the player must press "F" HD Mod or "G" Horn of the Abyss to cast spells when these are present.

Natural Magic Mirror[edit | hide]

Faerie Dragons are permanently under the effect of Basic Magic Mirror. Casting Magic Mirror on them temporarily overwrites this effect (for the duration of the spell).

Horn of the Abyss[edit | hide]

  • Faerie Dragons have a fixed big portrait and can now select between moving/attacking and casting:
  • Area-of-effect spells can be targeted at any hex of the battlefield. Targeting dialogue is called by pressing "G".

Appearance[edit | hide]

Faerie Dragons were added in Armageddon's Blade, so there are no Faerie Dragons or Magic Forests in Restoration of Erathia. They also prominently appear in the Faerie Dragons scenario from the Dragon Slayer campaign in Armageddon's Blade.
