'''Serpent and Dragon Flies''' are the level 3 creatures of [[Fortress]]. They are recruited from the [[Serpent Fly Hive]].

''"These giant, flying insects attack by striking with their tail stingers. Their attacks dispel any beneficial spells affecting their target. In addition, the Dragon Flies have the ability to cast [[Weakness]] on their opponent every time they attack."{{-}}<sup>[[Shadow of Death Manual Page 24|SoD manual]]''</sup>

Both flies apply their dispelling ability every time they attack. No creatures are immune to it and it can not be [[Magic resistance|resisted]] in any way.

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Korbac|Beastmaster}} has serpent flies as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any serpent or dragon flies for each level attained after 3rd level and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1.

== {{roe}} and {{ab}} ==
In {{roe}} and {{ab}} the statistics of serpent and dragon flies were a bit different. They were changed in {{sod}}. Their attack and defense were increased and the dragon flies were given the ability to inflict [[weakness]] on their targets when they attack. The same changes were applied in the Restoration of Erathia patch 1.3 and Armageddon's Blade patch 2.1.

==[[Horn of the Abyss]]==
* Fortress heroes spawn with a minimum of three Serpent Flies in the stack instead of two (2-4 to 3-4).
* In HOTA, Dragon Flies upon successful attack cast the Dispell, which is not a passive standalone ability, that will allow Sphere of Permanence to reflect it

{{user commentary|
Upgrade Serpent Flies to Dragon Flies as soon as possible. As third-level creatures both Serpent and Dragon Flies are easy to acquire, and with great [[speed]] of 9 or 13 they make excellent creatures for rushing through the map, thus being useful for a supportive/secondary hero. Hero with only Serpent or Dragon Flies in the army will move rapidly to scout areas, and with high spell points and [[Primary skill#Power skill|power skill]] can even get through [[wandering creature]]s. Due to their Dispel ability, Serpent and Dragon Flies will be very useful when attacking enemy units buffed with spells such as [[Bless]], [[Bloodlust]], or [[Haste]], which will no longer affect them after the flies strike. Defend these units as they are somewhat fragile, as opposed to [[Basilisk and Greater Basilisk|Basilisks]] and [[Gorgon and Mighty Gorgon|Gorgons]]. There can be even an army made only of Dragon Flies, with dozens in each slot.
