The Baiter Dragon (also referred to as simply The Baiter is a type of stage enemy that appears exclusively in MotiveTime Ltd.'s 16-bit home console release Dragon's Lair.
Appearance & Abilities[]
A floating dragonette with a face similar to Singe, as soon as the Baiter Dragon appears, it floats across the gameplay area with the goal of homing in on Dirk the Daring from any direction. The threat of the Baiter Dragon's appearance serves as an incentive for Dirk to complete levels quickly. The US game manual notes: "The longer Dirk is on a level, the more often the 'baiter dragon' will appear. Complete levels as fast as possible."[1]
Trivia[]
- Some reviews of the game noted that the Baiter Dragon's attack pattern greatly heightens the game's difficulty due to Dirk's inability to defend himself effectively from overhead attacks with conventional gameplay commands.[2]
