== Closer look at Black Dragon ==
=== Toughness ===
With the health value of 300, Black Dragon is one of the toughest creatures in the game. In the original {{roe}}, it was toughest of the [[dragon]]s and overall its health was only matched by [[Titan]]s' and [[Ancient Behemoth]]s'. It also has more Defense than either of those creatures. {{ab}} expansion introduced four new dragons, [[Faerie Dragon]], [[Rust Dragon]]s, [[Crystal Dragon]]s and [[Azure Dragon]]s, which all are neutral creatures and have more health than Black Dragons.
=== Tactics ===
Because of the Black Dragons' spell immunity, they are suitable to be used in tactics often called [[dragogeddon]]. In dragogeddon, a hero with preferably high [[power skill]] and [[Armageddon]] spell attacks with an army only consisting of creatures immune or very resilient to the Armageddon spell. The tactics may be used in "hit-and-run" tactic, to advance through wandering creatures or even to slay enemy heroes. In {{roe}} series, Black Dragons were the best creature to use in dragogeddon.
The benefit of using Black Dragons in this tactics is their high initiative, in other words, their speed. Only [[Phoenix]]es are faster creatures that are immune to Armageddon. High initative enables hero to act first in the combat, and this way possibly win the battle before enemy gets a chance to flee, surrender or otherwise cause resistance.
=== Semantics ===
Black Dragon has become a symbol of the Heroes series since it first appeared in Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars. It is also the symbol for the best player effectiveness in high score tables.

Red Dragons and Black Dragons are level 7 creatures of Dungeon, and are recruited from the Dragon Cave.

Red and black dragons with their great mobility, flying ability, and powerful breath weapons are among the most effective units in the game. Red dragons are immune to spells below level four. Black dragons are twice as durable, do 150% damage to giants and titans, and are immune to all spells. This spell immunity is a double-edged sword, though, as it makes both Red and Black dragons immune to most beneficial spells, including Resurrection. Placing Hydras or any living Dragons in the Skeleton Transformer will give you Bone Dragons instead of regular Skeletons.

Red Dragons have an AI Value of 4702, while Black Dragons have an AI Value of 8721.
