Placing [[hydra]]s, as well as [[Sea Serpent and Haspid|sea serpents and haspids]]{{-wh}}, or any living [[dragon]]s into the [[skeleton transformer]] will produce bone dragons instead of regular skeletons. But bone and ghost dragons themselves will be turned into skeletons. | |||

Ghost dragons have the special ability ''aging'', which has a 20% chance to occur after they have attacked a creature stack and before the stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. It | Ghost dragons have the special ability ''aging'', which has a 20% chance to occur after they have attacked a creature stack and before the stack has a chance to [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. It causes the maximum [[health]] of every creature in the target stack to be halved. The effect lasts for 3 combat rounds, and can only be removed with [[cure]] or [[dispel]]. Additionally, [[non-living]] creatures are immune to aging. | ||
When ghost dragons successfully age a stack, any health lost before being aged remains lost. However, the aging cannot reduce health to 0. For example, a ghost dragon attacks one angel and deals 60 points melee damage before the aging occurs. The angel will have 40 health left, which is the result of the calculation | When ghost dragons successfully age a stack, any health lost before being aged remains lost.

''Aging'' has a multiplicative effect with the [[wyvern monarch]]s' [[poisonous]] ability. This means that a creature's health could potentially be reduced to a fourth of its maximum. | ''Aging'' has a multiplicative effect with the [[wyvern monarch]]s' [[poisonous]] ability.

They are not as powerful as regular dragons, and do not share most of their features, like [[breath attack]]. While Aging can effectively cripple an enemy stack, it is quite unreliable. | ||
They are fast, | They are relatively fast, even for 7th level creatures, and have slightly above average attack stat as well, but the lowest defense of a level 7 unit. Use them defensively to clean up [[Troop stacks]] in the first few rounds of combat and try to keep them from being overwhelmed as they will falter when they get teamed up on. They also bear the lowest minimal damage for a tier 7 unit, sharing this stat with the [[Hydra and Chaos Hydra|Hydras and Chaos Hydras]]. | ||
They are also one of the three flying Necropolis units, the others being the [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampires]] and [[Wight and Wraith|Wights/Wraiths]], making them good for sieges, especially since the [[Wight and Wraith|Wights and Wraiths]] have low stats. | They are also one of the three flying Necropolis units, the others being the [[Vampire and Vampire Lord|Vampires]] and [[Wight and Wraith|Wights/Wraiths]], making them good for sieges, especially since the [[Wight and Wraith|Wights and Wraiths]] have low stats. | ||
