==Useful info==
'''Quicksilver dragons''' are rare and dangerous [[dragon]]s that move 50% faster than average and breathe irresistible status-dispelling energy bolts. They can be found in [[Vaults]]:5, [[Dis]]:7, a specific [[Snake]]:4 [[vault|layout]], and in or just outside [[the Realm of Zot]].

Like other dragons, killing it may drop [[quicksilver dragon scales]] (33% chance).

==Tips & Tricks==
*[[Quicksilver Bolt]] will dispel any [[Potion of cancellation#Affected Status Effects|valid statuses]], which can range from scary to lethal. Unexpectedly losing [[Haste]], [[scroll of teleportation|Tele]], etc. can make a dangerous situation ''that'' much worse. Keep note of buffs that [[Potion of cancellation#Unaffected Status Effects|can't be dispelled]], such as [[berserk]] and all [[god|divine]] abilities.
**While the bolts can't be blocked or resisted, they can be avoided; good [[EV]] and [[repulsion]] can reduce the likelihood of having your buffs dispelled.
*Quicksilver dragons on Snake:4 are very nasty, though you can only get one of them there. At 3d20 damage, their breath really hurts. They are fast, so you can't run normally. But their breath also dispels haste and teleport, so it's difficult to escape. If you recognize the vault, consider delaying Snake:4 if you can't kill a quicksilver dragon quickly. Even for a character in [[Zot]], losing your buffs is a significant threat.
*Quicksilver dragons are not resistant to [[poison]]. [[Curare]] darts slow them down, making them a lot more manageable. A [[scroll of poison]] can deal significant damage, especially with [[Ignite Poison]].

==History==
*Prior to [[0.31]], the quicksilver temple layout in Snake:4 had two quicksilver dragons.
*In [[0.27]], the quicksilver temple layout was added to Snake:4.
