The Cursed Dragon in the Midnight Helix can be a random encounter. However, it is more easily summoned with Rancid Bait Meat. It is prudent to stand to the side because a Falling CD could crush members of the party.

Post-Daimon, the CD is not summoned with Rancid Bait Meat when encountering the Gorecyclops but only when encountering the Frostwyrm.

Generally, enemies are reset when resting a couple of days outside of BBI. However, Random encounters, as their name applies, are not so predictable. That is why it is best to summon the CD with RBM.

Post-Daimon, the Bishop with CD pet will respawn every couple of days of elapsed time. This CD is a weakened CD but still dragon forges equipment like regular CDs. Many players find it easier to defeat the Dark Bishop/weakened CD combo than the full strength CD.

With regards to dragon forging, I find the best results per investment is to one star enhance items to be dragon forged. A one star enhancement requires only gold and no materials. The probability of dragon forging one star equipment with a CD is considerably higher than attempting to dragon forge unenhanced equipment.

As a final note, you might find the CD that spawns in the Duskmoon Tower courtyard to be a better choice than the one in the midnight Helix. You have more room to maneuver. Unlike the Duskmoon Tower, there are no wooden bridges to serve as obstacles. It is possible to get two or three kills off a single Rancid Bait Meat by defeating the CD quickly upon using RBM and, then, quickly exiting and reentering the Ward of Regret exit or other exit.
