Cursed Dragon is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

PROVIDE A THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OR OVERVIEW OF THE ENEMY HERE!

Information and Stats

 * It can grab pawns like all other Dragonkin. However, it rarely inflicts possession and instead will resort to slamming both pawn and arisen against the ground.
 * It has 11 health bars like all other boss-types monsters.
 * Its roar will not kill pawns, but can possess them.
 * Three star bitterblack items have either the possibility of 100% dragonforged chance or simply have a very very high chance of dragonforging (tested with 12 items on four dragon kills dragon-forged every bitterblack item every time)
 * It's big breath attack (when he stands on his hind legs) seems to be able to cure possession (needs confirmation)
 * When encountered as a dungeon boss with the Dark Bishop it is severely downgraded, with actual boss being the Dark Bishop. The cursed dragon will have a very small health bar above it's back like a normal foe and will have no glowing heart crystal.
 * It is weak to holyand fire magics.
 * Cursed Dragon is capable of Dragon forging items from +0.  (From some players experience, it dragonforged a +3 Darkening Storm AND a +0 Coat of Shadow.)
 * It is highly advised to farm the Cursed Dragon at Duskmoon Tower. Simply clear the area and use Rancid Bait. This has a high chance of spawning the Cursed Dragon who likewise has a high chance of dragon-forging your items.
 * Also this particular drake can be cheesed by forcing him into the air, and felling him with a high-damage arrow shot, ending the combo with a few shots to the heart. This process is tedious but will wear down the dragon for those who have difficulty with his standard attack patterns.

Tactics

 * Cursed dragons fight with a combination or Ur-dragon like moves and some original ones.
 * There are notable differences between the Ur-dragon and the cursed dragon,
 * one of them being is the smaller size the cursed dragons have.
 * The next being instead of fire it breathes out gas, which seems to be able to possess pawns.
 * Another being Instead of a heart it has a crystal in its chest.
 * Try to fight from a distance with an attack like great cannon.
 * Another tactic could be to grab hold of it chest and attack its crystal, perhaps using quick attacks like Hundred Kisses ( the higher level skill) while holding holy weapons like Heavens Key.
 * While the dragon is hovering over you, using spells or arrows to attack the head and then attacking the chest directly afterwards is a good way to ground the dragon quickly.


 * Magic Archers with the ring that grants explosive volley will be able to tear this thing apart in a few minutes.
