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

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.

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).
- Exception: Magic Arrow, Ice Bolt and Lightning Bolt are not affected by damage increases from the hero's Sorcery secondary skill or elemental orbs equipped.
- Exception: Faerie Dragons are not impacted by Interference
- 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"
or "G" 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.
