Special

The Space Dragon is a mid-round antagonist that can be spawned as an event or through the Space Ninja's communication. It is a player controlled ghost-role, and is unaligned with any other antagonists, including other Space Dragons.

Your job as a Space Dragon is to fill the station with as many carps as possible, and fill your belly with human bodies. You have a beefy 500 health, a fireball breath, and a devouring action to fulfill your objectives.

Rifts

As a Dragon, you have the ability to spawn 3 rifts. Without these, you'll disappear! Once a rift has spawned, it takes time to charge, and will tip off Centcomm due to its high surges of energy. Crew will likely find your rift quickly to try destroying it, so make sure to guard it well until it is fully charged! Once charged to 100%, it will be unable to be directly destroyed.

Rifts will periodically spawn carp, which can be Ghostroles, providing sentient support. Mindless carp will follow you and attack any hostiles.

Be careful! A rift being destroyed means you will be weakened significantly, and all other rifts you have will disappear as well. Additionally, if you cannot spawn a rift within 5 minutes, you will abruptly despawn. If you die, your rifts will also disappear with you.

A newly spawned rift(<50%) will shine blue, a rift charged above 50% will be purple, and a fully charged(100%) rift will shine gold! This is a sign that it cannot be destroyed.

Leaving multiple points of entry to your portal can be useful for defense, but also useful to the potential attacker using a flank approach. Cover all your bases.

I cast FIREBALL!

If the crew is being pesky and not understanding why you have to eat them, and they're too far away for your powerful wide swing (which deals 15 slash and 15 piercing), you can hit them with a classic fireball! This slow moving but devastating projectile deals huge amounts of heat and explosion damage to anything in its path, which can spell death to anyone not wearing adequate protection. Aim for welding fuel tanks, these will cause an larger secondary explosion. Just make sure you aren't in a position to hit yourself point blank by accident. You aren't immune to exploding!

Hungry Hungry... Dragons...?

Your devouring action can be very powerful. Using your large dragon jaws, you can crush and swallow any obstacle in your path including doors, windows, firelocks, etc. You can select multiple tiles within range, giving yourself a wider berth. This can be used for gaining entry inside the station, spacing areas, and getting access to places where some juicy crew are hiding.

Speaking of bodies, you can also eat any unconscious, critical, or dead people or animals with the same action. Doing so will heal a significant portion of brute damage, so don't leave any body uneaten. This does not apply for eating your own carp, and any other non-player mob.

Ichor isn't the only medicine available to you. Cryoxadone is perfect for a Dragon's needs, and the cold of space is enough to let it take effect.

When you die, you can be butchered, causing the bodies you had once eaten to spill out of your stomach, and reducing you to two slices of dragon meat, which can be grilled and made into cutlets for a hearty trophy meal. Dragon meat contains Ichor, which is a mythical cure-all substance.

Overwhelming Firepower

Generally, if you are an unarmed person in the way of the Space Dragon, you will die very, very quickly. Security will often have the means to effectively stand against it and its army of carp, but it is by no means an easy battle. Others may have more creative methods to avoid being eaten.

A combination of teamwork and guns, guns, and more guns are crucial against the Space Dragon. A lone officer will quickly be overwhelmed, but a team can cover each other and hit the Dragon all at once. Automatic weapons such as the Drozd and Lecter will be very effective at hitting the Dragon from a distance, while shotguns such as the Enforcer and Kammerer will make short work of the swarm of carp that arrive to protect their leader. Due to the Dragon's high heat resistance (it IS a fire-breathing creature), Lasers will often be less effective.

Targeting dragon portals is is crucial and attainable by normal crew to help support those on the frontlines against a Dragon. CentCom will notify the station of a portal's location, which can be destroyed using melee weapons.
