How about a purple super-miasma breath attack? The unfortunate dwarves caught in the blast vomit uncontrollably at the smell while their eyes, ears and fingers blacken, shrivel and rot away.

Also, because skeletal dragons with ice attacks are just badass.

Ugh WoW, I feel violated by that link. I think I need to go have a shower.

Ahh Sapphiron, killed by swarming crypt fiends and raised as an undead by a powerful death knight who is now the lich king. Very helpful in wrecking that naga base! He was a blue/frost dragon though, so its not unusual that he can breathe frost as a skeleton, actually maybe it is.

I'm talking about Warcraft3 here by the way, not WoW. Never really liked WoW, never realled liked MMORPGs in general. Though I still think people are a bit too hard on it.

Also yes to the miasma breath attack, no reason why we cannot have different kinds of dragons!

Skeletons and zombies should retain their abilities as long as the relevant bodyparts are attached, I think.

As for different breaths, I think somewhere in the Combat Arc this stuff will be expanded enough to allow attack types and damages that can be called anything. Like a cloud of slashing damage that gives the message "You are cut by shimmering knives!" - a-la some sort of a "wall of swords" spell.

Tentacle breath?

[Kagus]

Vomit breath.

[Hyperturtle]

Perhaps the rotting breath can increase the wear on clothes, and maybe there can be a tag to rot leather armor as well?

[Akroma]

do underground feature creatures include also HIDDEN_FUNSTUFF ?

skeletal tentacle demon anyone ?

[Retro42]

Ooooo Miasma breath would be fun.  Not deadly..but fun.  Does a non-tiring, non-bleeding, skeletal dragon REALLY need fire breath?

I don't think they have bones...

[Sean Mirrsen]

How about a zombie tentacle demon?

...

"Day of the Tentacle"?  
Ok, that wasn't a zombie. For the most part.  :p

A "breath" is more like an area-effect attack. If stuff like this could be defined in the raws, it would allow a lot more wacky creatures, as well as a means to do innate magic-like attacks that are not magic.
Well, I suppose magic itself would make a nice substitute for this, but I think it's too far away at this point.

[nunix]

On the other hand, trading a breath weapon in exchange for immunity to insta-kills due to random organ damage is a pretty good deal.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Knocking the head off still qualifies for an insta-kill of a skeleton however, even though it technically shouldn't. A zombie, yes - because it is driven by the brain (or what's left of it) still. But a skeleton is pure magic, it should be able to keep fighting.

a) I'll bet it's because it's very cold without any skin.

b) I can't click the link (at work) but I'll betcha you're talking about Sapphiron. No?

c) Guess so.

Something demonic with both tentacles and bones.

Back to the topic of skeletal fish.
