How to use this creature in practice
Mobile attacks and screening across obstacles
Threaten shooters through flight while exploiting reduced enemy morale. Ghost Dragons can additionally age eligible targets.
Watch for: Bone Dragons lack Aging and living-dragon breath. A morale penalty is not universal control of undead armies.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 14 affects reach and order. Before Wait compare who still acts this round and who opens the next; delaying does not create a free extra attack.
- Age: An eligible hit has a 20% chance to apply an effect that reduces an eligible living victim’s health by 50%. Matching immunities and effect conditions apply.
- Morale aura: Changes enemy army morale by -1. Multiple copies of the same angelic or dragon aura do not accumulate.
Example for 10 creatures: 250–500 base damage for one ordinary hit before hero, defense, spell and ability modifiers. Recalculate surviving creatures before a subsequent hit.

Detailed spell rules: Slayer
Abilities and limitations
Undead
The Undead type uses separate immunity, morale, healing and life-drain rules. Distinguish Animate Dead from Resurrection.
Dragon nature
Counts as a Dragon for matching specialties, equipment and targeted effects. The classification alone does not supply every dragon immunity.
Flying
Movement can cross obstacles. Devils and Arch Devils express this trait through teleportation; speed still determines reach.
Age
An eligible hit has a 20% chance to apply an effect that reduces an eligible living victim’s health by 50%. Matching immunities and effect conditions apply.
Morale aura
Changes enemy army morale by -1. Multiple copies of the same angelic or dragon aura do not accumulate.
Slayer target
An enemy attacker buffed with Slayer gains +8 Attack against this creature from Untrained / Basic mastery. The bonus belongs to the attacker; the target’s spell immunity does not itself cancel it.
