Dragon riders had a field death ratio about twice that of their mounts, generally due to an unfortunate loss of grip, and toward the end of war both dragons and riders were often as such relatively inexperienced, leading to them suffering casualties against the more battle-hardened gryphon riders of the Wildhammer clan.

It uses 25 housing spaces, which is a bit more than the regular Dragon (20 housing spaces) and a bit less than the Electro Dragon (30 housing spaces).
