Description
Presenting, Turtle's B'ig Dragon Race!
The next logical step up from the L'il Dragon.

These dragons are quite a bit bigger than the L'il Dragons, but share a lot of the same traits otherwise.
This race has a large frame and low speed, but immense durability to make up for it.



***** Main Traits *****
+ 100% increased max health
+ 5 increased defence
+ 10% increased damage reduction
+ 20% reduced mining delay
- 20% reduced speed (affects accessory speed changes, too)
- Reduced jump force

***** Other Traits *****
+ Improved acceleration.
+ Faster top speed while flying.
+ 50% knockback force resist.
+ 15% increased held item scale. Affects hitboxes.
~ Non-minecart mounts act like transformations, hiding your character. Items can still be used.
- Large hitbox. Can fit into a 3x4 space, or 3x3 if crouching.
- Starts petrified for a few seconds, but only once (this is just for flavour!)
* Crouch by holding DOWN. Can help you hit low enemies/critters. You can crouch walk to fit under low ceilings.
* Can be mounted by others, granting resistance to the rider.

Please see the mod page for Turtle's L'il Dragon Race if you want to know more about dragon riding or elemental breath.

***** Custom Vanities *****
B'ig Dragons vanity support is a work in progress. More vanities will be supported with time!
Head and neck accessories usually fit OK right now though. A couple of the L'il Dragon accessories also fit.

***** Dragon Gem of Shaping *****
The Dragon Gem of Shaping is a special item introduced in this mod that allows players to swap between the L'il Dragon and B'ig Dragon races on the fly.
This gem can be made at the Dragon Breath Bench with 3 Mushrooms and a Diamond. It is consumed upon successful use.
Please note that after use, some visuals may not look correct and the dragon's horn style may not be 100% preserved.

***** Additional Notes *****
- Highly configurable, much like the L'il Dragon mod.
- Wings are not innate! You still need to get wings normally.
- Most accessory layers are hidden, as they don't fit properly.
- Leg and torso armour won't show unless it's specifically made for dragons. As of writing this, no B'ig Dragon compatible armour exists, but may in the future.
- The B'ig Dragon's tail may partially block other races in the race selection screen. They're just too big!
- Need a dragon-sized door? This mod adds a special 'Dragon Gate' that is a 4 block high version of the Tall Gate. There is also the Horizontal Dragon Gate, as a 3 wide gate that goes in floors or ceilings!

***** Special Thanks *****
Poem The Dragon (several armour sprites)
Syrreth (several of the screenshots featured on the workshop page)
Joshthefox (a screenshot featured on the workshop page + some custom NPC dialogue ideas)
Dev. (help with sprites for the statue variants)
Wulfra (Winter Cape, collar, and dyeable/smooth vanity sprites!)
Chaos_Knight (many highly-detailed armour vanities for the dragons, like wow~)

Balance-wise, I'm relatively loose with things.
I do try to aim for something that feels at least somewhat balanced, but ultimately it just comes down to gut feel and I don't really spend entire playthroughs or anything like that to figure out if something is properly balanced or not.
I am always open to balance-related suggestions, though.

i'm just now discovering all your mods, these all look like a dream!! I've always hoped Relogic would add more player races, or someone would finally step forward and makes mods for it.. and it looks like you're doing just that!

what's your philosophy when it comes to balancing these? is it important to you that it feels balanced, like weighing the upsides with downsides properly? or do you have a more loose approach and don't really mind if certain races end up extremely powerful?

Info is in the L'il Dragon mod description. You need to make Breath Power Gems and use them.

how do you level up your elemental breath (im using storm)
Turtleren  [author] 28 Jul @ 5:24am

Also, tail spikes maybe. Finishing new mod first :p
bof 27 Jul @ 12:35pm

tyrantish 27 Jul @ 8:20am 
will patterns and tail/body accessories like spikes and patterns ever be added?? would love to see that!!! would be super cool :] otherwise i LOOVE this its what ive been wanting for AGES

If Charizard counts as a dragon, then yes! ;)

...but in all seriousness, I can't really say for sure. I don't really have a plan for what mods I'm going to make next outside of the immediate future, as I'm just sorta following wherever my inspiration takes me, when it decides to strike me.

i saw u made other types of dragons. Do you have more you might make (hoping for magma wyrm)

I wish you had some awesome melee attack without any weapons like biting or swatting that would complete the power trip idea i had in my head of being a dragon in terraria
