'''Serpent and Dragon Flies''' are the level 3 creatures of [[Fortress]]. They are recruited from the [[Serpent Fly Hive]]. Both flies apply their dispelling ability every time they attack. No creatures are immune to it and it can not be [[Magic resistance|resisted]] in any way.

''"These giant, flying insects attack by striking with their tail stingers. Their attacks dispel any beneficial spells affecting their target. In addition, the Dragon Flies have the ability to cast [[Weakness]] on their opponent every time they attack."{{-}}<sup>[[Shadow of Death Manual Page 24|SoD manual]]''</sup>

== Special Ability ==
=== Special Ability: Dispel ===
Serpent and Dragon Flies [[dispel]] [[spell]]s at advanced level after attack, thus enabling them to dispel {{Sn|Anti-Magic}}.

=== Special Ability: Weakness ===
Dragon Flies have a 100% chance to weaken their target stack for 3 rounds at advanced level. This ability uses the {{Sn|Weakness}} spell. However, [[Lucid Pools]] [[terrain]] does not affect creature spells. The ability is affected by the [[Magic Plains]].

== {{roe}} and {{ab}} ==
In the original {{roe}} and {{ab}} versions, Serpent and Dragon Flies both had an Attack of 6 and a Defense of 8. Dragon Flies also did not have the ability to cast Weakness. Their stats were buffed and the Weakness was ability added for {{sod}} as well as {{roe}} patch 1.3 and {{ab}} patch 2.1.

==[[Horn of the Abyss]]==
* Fortress heroes spawn with a minimum of three Serpent Flies in the stack instead of two (2-4 to 3-4).

{{user commentary|
Upgrade Serpent Flies to Dragon Flies as soon as possible. As third-level creatures both Serpent and Dragon Flies are easy to acquire, and with great [[speed]] of 9 or 13 they make excellent creatures for rushing through the map, thus being useful for a supportive/secondary hero. Hero with only Serpent or Dragon Flies in the army will move rapidly to scout areas, and with high spell points and [[Primary skill#Power skill|power skill]] can even get through [[wandering creature]]s. Due to their Dispel ability, Serpent and Dragon Flies will be very useful when attacking enemy units buffed with spells such as [[Bless]], [[Bloodlust]], or [[Haste]], which will no longer affect them after the flies strike. Defend these units as they are somewhat fragile, as opposed to [[Basilisk and Greater Basilisk|Basilisks]] and [[Gorgon and Mighty Gorgon|Gorgons]]. There can be even an army made only of Dragon Flies, with dozens in each slot.
