Description
Presenting, Turtle's L'il Dragon Race!
This mod adds a new playable dragon race, made possible with MrPlague's Authentic Races.
Brought into the world of Terraria as mere statues... they're now ready to break free!

These dragons are small and have lost their magical abilities, but can regain them through various items!
With their bulky frame, this race trades speed for great durability.



***** Main Traits *****
+ 30% increased max health
+ 10 increased defence
+ 10% increased damage reduction
- 20% reduced speed (affects accessory speed changes, too)
- Reduced jump force

***** Other Traits *****
+ Greatly improved acceleration.
~ Non-minecart mounts act like transformations, hiding your character. Items can still be used.
- Wider hitbox. You can still fit into a 2 block gap. Hitbox is reverted to normal while mounted.
- Starts petrified for a few seconds, but only once (this is just for flavour!)
* Crouch by holding DOWN.
* Can be mounted by others, granting resistance to the rider.

***** About Mounting *****
To mount a dragon, [INTERACT] with them while nearby. Press [JUMP], or [INTERACT] with the player again to dismount.
Races that can be mounted are not able to mount others. Server configs exist to change this behaviour.
Riders get 50% final damage reduction by default. Players can kick riders off by [INTERACT]ing with them.
You can also craft a Bridle at a Loom with 3 Silk and 50 Rope. While in your inventory, the bridle lets riders control your movements.
In order to dismount a bridled player, you must [INTERACT] with them. Using [JUMP] will simply make the mounted player jump.
Also, mountable players can 'pick up' others by [INTERACT]ing with them! Players can disable being picked up in their client config if desired.

***** About Elemental Breath *****
First, make the Dragon Breath Bench with 10 obsidian! You then need 3 of either Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz or Emerald gems to craft a Breath Gem of the appropriate element.
After using a Breath Gem, your dragon will now be able to use elemental breath!

Craft Breath Power Gems using milestone materials (eg. Demonite/Crimtane) to raise the breath attack damage.
Using the same Breath Power Gem twice has no effect, so you'll need to make stronger power gems to boost your breath attack further.

Once unlocked, use elemental breath by holding [PRIMARY RACIAL SKILL], Z by default.
Using elemental breath for too long will exhaust the dragon, causing breath attacks to become weaker.
Keep an eye on the breath meter!

As a bonus - Craft the Affinity Gem using one of each breath gem type and a Golden Key!
When used, toggles if your dragon receives special benefits based on your active breath type.
Please check the description for each Breath Gem item and server configs ingame for more details.

***** Summoning Flute *****
Make a Summoning Flute at an Anvil with 3 Amethysts and 5 Gold/Platinum Bars!
You can assign your name to the flute by right clicking on it in your inventory. After that, give it to another player, and they can use the flute to teleport you to them! It will also try to mount players after teleporting.

***** About Dragon Pedestals *****
You can craft pedestals for the dragon to pose on as a statue.
A Heavy Workbench and 15 (for a small pedestal) or 30 (for a big pedestal) Stone blocks are required to craft pedestals.
Pedestals act as a bed and can be used even outside of a valid room, allowing you to set your spawnpoint and pass time quickly.
There are also variants for various materials!

***** Custom Vanities *****
Dragons can make a special Dragon Vanity Bench with 10 wood.
The bench can be used to craft a variety of items made to fit on dragons! More are being added with time.
When crafting items that take a vanilla item and turn it into a dragon-compatible version of the same, the materials will not be consumed!
There's also a money pile you can make here which the dragon can sit on.
You can also make 'Stone Claw' type items, which are consumables that change how your dragon looks when petrified. Various materials are supported.
Craft them at a Workbench with 1 of their respective material.

***** Additional Notes *****
- Highly configurable. Want dragons that are fireproof? Hydrophobic? Slower? Faster? We've got that and more.
- Wings are not innate! You still need to get wings normally, but a new set of wings just for dragons can be made with a Lucky Horseshoe and 10 Feathers at an Anvil (can be modified by server config).
- Some accessory layers are hidden, as they don't fit properly.
- Leg and torso armour won't show unless it's specifically made for dragons.
- Need to use pedestals without setting spawn or passing time? Make the Inner Essence item using 5 Purification Powder at a workbench!
- This race and other races built on this codebase can hop slightly while petrified. This can be disabled in the server config.
- This mod acts as a library for other similar mods that I make and is often a dependency for that reason.

Honestly, my art stuff is driven by the exact same things, so I can't blame you.
Turtleren  [author] Feb 25 @ 5:00pm 
Definitely in the realm of possibility in terms of things I *might* do.

My modding is almost entirely driven by whatever random bursts of inspiration and motivation I get though, so like a lot of things it’s a “Probably not, but I won’t deny the possibility” kinda scenario :)
ERROR2401 Feb 25 @ 6:41am 
ah, okay.
wait, that does give me an idea that can use vanilla actually
the basilisk enemy/mount maybe?
Sorry if I seem annoying or persistent about this.
Turtleren  [author] Feb 24 @ 10:39pm 
Probably not, since it's already a transformation. I feel like most of the work is already done there :p
ERROR2401 Feb 24 @ 9:05pm 
I wonder, when 1.4.5 comes out, will you make a dinosaur race based on the one transformation that's been shown in a preview?
Turtleren  [author] Feb 23 @ 8:37pm 
@meorge23, nope. Breath attacks do unscaling generic type damage and do not benefit from most accessory/armour/potion effects. This is by design and probably won't be changing in the foreseeable future.
The only way to raise breath damage is through Breath Power Gems.
meorge23 Feb 23 @ 11:44am 
is there any way to buff the damage of the breath with an accessory as in what damage type does the breath weapon do
2007gg2007 Feb 19 @ 9:26am 
lol
NoctisTheBogWitch Feb 19 @ 6:39am 
Ooh! I'd love a twilight dyed dragon!!
Starfall Leyline Feb 15 @ 9:38am 
I've been enjoying this mod quite a bit! However, I do have a couple suggestions:

- A selection of dyable vanity horns for the dragons to wear (aside from hairstyle - I've been trying to use the demon horns sold by the traveling merchant, which are okay, but are stuck an ugly red and aren't very dye-friendly)
- Dyable Dragons (since we can't dye armor, it seems a shame to miss out on some of the cool effects - perhaps different dye slots for the different body colors?)
