Add drakeling enemies to the volcano

Drakelings are a cool race, so it would be nice to have them show up outside of shops and for them to show off their unique powers. The volcano would be a fitting area for them; warm, but with some areas to cool off and avoid overheating. It would also mesh with the lore that drakelings were in hibernation until recently - waking the volcanoes could have revived some additional ancient drakelings.

Suggestions for general abilities:
  • High speed (150-200) to reflect the warm area in which they show up
  • Dealing cold damage to them slows them for a few turns
  • Fire immunity to allow them to navigate magma
  • A special, powerful acid spit attack (or just acid breath, if that is too difficult to code)
  • Fairly high magic resistance (50) to simulate their Alertness and high speed
  • Scurgari missile attacks

Suggestions for specific monsters:

Empress
A unique monster carrying the heart of Ancardia. Has the ability to summon greater fire elementals, and to create magma under the PC (if not too difficult to code).

Spelleater
A monster designed to be a greater threat to spellcasters. Has higher magic resistance, immunity to all elements, and gains speed from PC spellcasting (similar to Andor).

Knight
A monster with higher DV and PV, and the ability to disarm.

Dragontamer
A monster with the ability to summon ancient red dragons one at a time (similar to greater daemon).

Archer
A monster with extremely powerful (titan level) scurgari missile attacks.

Wizard
A monster that casts confusion and energy blast.

Thespian
A monster with doppelganger-style confusion. (A joke based on 4432's reference to "other imitators".)

I'd love to see more lore on the drakeling race, and this seems like a good step towards that. Upvoted!

Definetly good suggestion. This way drakeling mindcrafters won't feel that lonely... :)
