Dragon
The Island · Arena boss
Arena rules
Standard arena limits. The Dragon's fire breath deals damage as a percentage of each target's MAX health (about 20% per application), which punishes high-health tanks and makes raw HP stacking less effective than on the other Island bosses.
Strategy & recommended tames
Because the fire scales off max health, this fight favors damage and sustain over pure tank stats. Therizinosaurus fed Sweet Vegetable Cakes for passive healing are a popular choice; Deinonychus exploit bleed damage, and Rexes still work on Gamma/Beta if you keep a Daeodon and Yutyrannus along. Maintain consistent damage to outpace the percentage-based fire.
Place the tribute in the boss terminal to open the portal — items are consumed on summon. The summon command spawns the boss directly for admins (cheats enabled).

A dash means that difficulty doesn't require the item. Higher tiers stack the same artifacts plus apex drops in growing quantities.
