Swamp Dragons are a popular choice for those who engage in [[PvM]] combat. They can be equipped with armor through the use of a [[Dragon Barding Deed]]. The armor blocks 10% or 20% of damage dealt to the rider, depending on whether the armor is of normal or [[exceptional]] quality. A special version of the mount, [[Paroxysmus' Swamp Dragon]], comes with a permanent set of armor equipped which blocks 12% of damage.
Swamp Dragons are fairly easy to kill and deal little melee damage. While the reported damage dealt by a Swamp Dragon is 75% physical and 25% poison, they cannot poison their targets. They yield 5 green [[dragon scales]] and 20 normal leather hides when skinned.

==Riding & Care==
+
While Chaos Dragoons can make their mounts perform fire and stomp attacks, tamed Swamp Dragons lose such abilities.
Unlike the other mounts that impart special benefits to their riders, such as the [[Cu Sidhe]], [[Ki-Rin]], and [[Unicorn]], Swamp Dragons can be ridden by anyone, including young players. It should be noted that Ethereal Swamp Dragons cannot be ridden by anyone whose account is less than 5 years old.

+
Needless to say, Swamp Dragons eat meat.
+
 
+
==Armor==
+
As noted above, Swamp Dragons can be mounted when tamed, but perhaps their greatest known attribute is that the armored versions can partially absorb the damage inflicted upon a rider. Blacksmiths can craft a [[Dragon Barding Deed]], which can be used on an unarmored, tame Swamp Dragon to turn it into an armored Swamp Dragon.
+
 
+
The armor will provide the rider of the dragon with extra protection in combat, this is done by absorbing a percentage of all damage received. Exceptional dragon barding allows a Swamp Dragon to absorb 20% of the damage inflicted upon the rider, while non-exemption barding provides only a 10% reduction. The damage reduction only works against monsters, not against players.
+
 
+
An armored Swamp Dragon will retain its armor upon resurrection. Colored armor imparts no more protection than iron armor; the use of colored ingots to produce dragon barding is for aesthetic reasons only. The barding can be removed from an armored Swamp Dragon by using a bladed item, however the Dragon Barding Deed will be lost upon removal. A Swamp Dragon's barding is subject to eventual damage and destruction, just like normal armor.

In 2002, Lord Blackthorn's Revenge [1] introduced several previously unknown creatures, including the Swamp Dragon. Related to Dragons, the six-legged creatures first appeared during Blackthorn's attack on the City of Yew, when mounted Chaos Dragoons rode Swamp Dragons during their invasion of the City.

Chaos Dragoons can still be found near the Ilshenar moongate of Honesty. Killing a Chaos Dragoon causes him to fall from his mount, thus leaving a Swamp Dragon that can be tamed and then ridden by players. Animal Tamers must have a minimum skill of 93.9 to tame a Swamp Dragon - Despite this, once the taming process is complete, any player can command or bond with one regardless of their skill level.

Swamp Dragons are a popular choice for those who engage in PvM combat. They can be equipped with armor through the use of a Dragon Barding Deed. The armor blocks 10% or 20% of damage dealt to the rider, depending on whether the armor is of normal or exceptional quality. A special version of the mount, Paroxysmus' Swamp Dragon, comes with a permanent set of armor equipped which blocks 12% of damage.

While Chaos Dragoons can make their mounts perform fire and stomp attacks, tamed Swamp Dragons lose such abilities.
