The Dragon buddy is a powerful and majestic mythical creature. Ancient and wise, it brings formidable debugging power to your terminal, breathing fire on bugs with devastating efficiency.
* Common rarity buddies have no hat. All other rarities get a random hat from 8 options.
| Rarity | Chance | Stat Floor | Stars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 60% | 5 | ★ |
| Uncommon | 25% | 15 | ★★ |
| Rare | 10% | 25 | ★★★ |
| Epic | 4% | 35 | ★★★★ |
| Legendary | 1% | 50 | ★★★★★ |
* Rarity is determined by UUID, not by species. Any species can be any rarity.
The Dragon buddy's peak stat is DEBUGGING. As the most powerful mythical species, Dragons excel at hunting down and eliminating bugs. A Legendary Dragon with 100 Debugging is considered the ultimate coding companion — the most coveted buddy in the entire system.
The Dragon earns S-tier status for several reasons: its peak stat (Debugging) is the most practically useful for developers, its mythical category gives it maximum 'flex factor' for social sharing, its ASCII art is among the most detailed and impressive, and it has the highest community hype. A Legendary Shiny Dragon is the rarest flex possible.
A Legendary Dragon has approximately a 0.056% chance of appearing (1% Legendary × 1/18 species = ~0.056%). That's roughly 1 in every 1,800 users. A Shiny Legendary Dragon is even rarer at about 0.00056% (1 in ~180,000 users) — the ultimate holy grail of the Buddy system.
