Conan: Dragon is an expansion for Conan released in 2016 for 2–5 players and ages 14 and up. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Area Movement.
Grinning jaws bared rows of dripping yellow tusks; above the yawning mouth wrinkled a saurian-like snout. Huge eyes, like those of a python a thousand times magnified, stared unwinkingly at the petrified humans clinging to the rock above it. Blood smeared the scaly, flabby lips and dripped from the huge mouth. The head, bigger that that of a crocodile, was further extended on a long scaled neck on which stood up rows of serrated spikes, and after it, crushing down the briars and saplings, waddled the body of a titan, a gigantic, barrel-bellied torso on absurdly short legs. — Robert E. Howard, Red Nails. Like other Conan add-on packs that were created during the Kickstarter campaign, the Conan: Dragon pack offers new monster tiles and a detailed plastic figure required for fielding a Dragon in a Conan game scenario. Due to a an unfortunate oversight, the life point token for the Dragon was not included in the first edition add-on pack box.
