| It inflicts extra damage against dragons and draconians. |
The dragon slaying brand, exclusive to Wyrmbane, does the following:
- Deals a flat +75% damage against any kind of dragon, drake, or draconian. This includes player draconians and those in Dragon Form.
Note that some dragon-like monsters are not vulnerable to dragon slaying, namely wyverns and hydras. Neither are komodo dragons, as those are a type of real-world reptile.

Dragon slaying can only be found on Wyrmbane. It cannot be obtained in any other way.
History
- Prior to 0.15, the brand could generate on any polearm.
- Prior to 0.13, this brand also reduced a susceptible enemy's chance to hit you with their breath weapons by 25%, flavoured as the dragons being averse to looking at the weapon (and therefore having difficulty lining up a shot).
- In 0.12 and 0.13, drakes were unaffected by the dragon slaying brand.
