Dragon Evolution

Press G and you are a dragon. Press H and you grow. Five stages, from an egg that cannot move to an elder wyrm that can level a hillside.

The five stages

• Egg - immobile, with a heartbeat. Upgrading hatches it: the egg wobbles, cracks in three steps and bursts open.
• Hatchling - small, wing nubs, and a bite.
• Juvenile - fire breath, and hovering flight that stays near the ground. Immune to fire and fall damage from here on.
• Adult - the beam, and unrestricted flight.
• Elder - biggest and toughest, shedding embers, with the wing dash.

Each stage adds health, armour, speed and knockback resistance. From the juvenile on, double-tap space to fly.

The abilities

R        Bite - a lunging snap
C hold  Fire breath - a cone that ignites
V hold  Dragon Beam - charge, then a sustained beam
B        Wing Dash - a burst of speed that batters what you clip
G / H  Transform / upgrade to the next stage

All rebindable, under Options - Controls - Dragon Evolution.
