Serpent and Dragon Flies are level 3 creatures of Fortress town. They are recruited from the Serpent Fly Hive.

"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." ^{SoD manual}

Both flies apply their dispelling ability every time they attack. No creatures are immune to it and it can not be resisted in any way.

Heroes with a specialty

• Korbac the Beastmaster has serpent flies as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any serpent or dragon flies for each level attained after 3rd level and gives them a speed bonus of 1.

Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade

In Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade the statistics of serpent and dragon flies were a bit different. They were changed in Shadow of Death. Their attack and defense were increased and the dragon flies were given the ability to inflict weakness on their targets when they attack.
