- This article is about the creature from Heroes of Might and Magic V. For other uses, see spectral dragon.
The spectral dragon is the upgrade of the bone dragon, the seventh-tier creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic V.
No single type of dragon gives up its bones to form a Spectral Dragon. Instead, these fell beasts are composed of the bones of every breed of dragon, cunningly arranged into a single skeleton and infused with unlife by the sacrifice of a high-ranking Necromancer's soul.OffBck
Spectral dragons have significantly higher damage than bone dragons, though only slightly more health, and they are still badly outmatched by all other seventh-tier creatures on a per-unit basis. Spectral dragons compensate for this by being relatively cheap, having a higher weekly growth via a Dragon Vault, being undead (which makes them immune to many debilitating effects such as Mind-related magic), and through their Death Stare and Cursing Attack.
