Now, their race is but a shadow of its former power and majesty. When the Old Ones arrived, the greatest Dragons found the world too warm for their liking and hid from the bright sun, while more still stole into caverns and the ocean deeps with the coming of Chaos. A Black Dragon is capable of slaughtering entire armies with its claws, horns and fangs. With expulsions of noxious gas from its maw, it can wither the lungs of its victims and desiccate their flesh. The thick hide of a Black Dragon protects it from even the weightiest blows. Perhaps the greatest weapon of all is the overwhelming Wyrm-dread that fills the enemy upon sighting such a bloodthirsty and destructive monster. ==Attributes== *[[File:Dragon.png]] '''Flying Monster''' {{wh2_main_def_mon_black_dragon bulletpoints}} == Abilities == *[[File:Wh2 main unit abilities noxious breath.png|38px]] [[Noxious Breath]] ==Strategy== {{strategy}} The Black Dragon is a solid middle ground amongst dragons. If the Sun Dragon is the bottom and the Star Dragon is the top, this unit is closest to a Moon Dragon. The two have the same melee stats and health. The Black dragon has 20 more armour which does put it from decently well armoured to well armoured. Of course, among the Dark Elves, there is no other dragon option. For that reason, the Black Dragon is a valuable armour piercing, fear, and terror causing monster. Its breath attacks can devastate enemies from afar as well. The 25% missile resist on top of the higher armour allows it to shrug off missile attacks easier than most other dragons. Compared to other dragon-using factions, the Dark Elves lack healing magic so care must be taken with allowing damage on the dragon during battle. {{Navbox Dark Elves units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II units]] [[Category:Dark Elves units]] [[Category:Dark Elves monster units]] [[Category:Dragon units]]
