In Russian, Drakon and Dracon have the same name spelling (Дракон), since letters C and K are transliterated in the same way (e.g. [[Korbac]] is "Корбак" in Russian).
In the currently known Russian localizations<!--as assumed from online sources, this page being the first of them-->, Drakon and [[Dracon]] have the same name spelling (Дракон, ''Drakon'', which also exactly matches the capitalized spelling of the Rissian word for a [[dragon]]), since letters C and K are transliterated in the same way, namely as К (e.g. [[Korbac]] is "Корбак", ''Korbak'', in Russian), and because the translators didn't bother to prevent the multi-level confusion (e.g., by doubling the crucial letter in one of the names and perhaps a different letter in the other), as a professional (paid) translate team should be supposed to do.
 
(Interestingly, [[Mutare Drake]] is known in Russian by a freestyle phonetical transcription of her name, as ''Мутаре Дрэйк,'' which, while maneuvers away from more unwelcome matches, in the same time makes the name less meaningful for a Russian localization adept, rather bringing to mind references to famous people with Drake being their last name than anything drake-ish.)

Trivia[edit | hide]

In the Armageddon's Blade campaign Playing with Fire, Drakon uses an alternate profile: Drakon (Burning of Tatalia). His portrait is changed to that of Alamar, but his race remains gnoll, not human.

Specialty[edit | hide]

The in-game description lacks the speed bonus information. (Description is fixed in HotA Horn of the Abyss).

Unlike the native terrain speed bonus, the creature specialty speed bonus can affect the hero's movement points in case the creature is the slowest one in the army.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

In the currently known Russian localizations, Drakon and Dracon have the same name spelling (Дракон, Drakon, which also exactly matches the capitalized spelling of the Rissian word for a dragon), since letters C and K are transliterated in the same way, namely as К (e.g. Korbac is "Корбак", Korbak, in Russian), and because the translators didn't bother to prevent the multi-level confusion (e.g., by doubling the crucial letter in one of the names and perhaps a different letter in the other), as a professional (paid) translate team should be supposed to do.

(Interestingly, Mutare Drake is known in Russian by a freestyle phonetical transcription of her name, as Мутаре Дрэйк, which, while maneuvers away from more unwelcome matches, in the same time makes the name less meaningful for a Russian localization adept, rather bringing to mind references to famous people with Drake being their last name than anything drake-ish.)
