Notes
This reskin was first made available during the Gremlin Prize Box Promotion in August 2014, announced here. This reskin has the exact same skills, abilities, and preferred appetite as the original Drakon.
Lore: this reskin was made to aid Knights in disguising themselves as Gremlins, in order to infiltrate enemy territory: "To complete the guise, a Drakon battle sprite has been fashioned to look like a gun puppy." - News Post
Its aesthetics are similar to the Gun Puppy monster. It occasionally emits noises that sound like a gun puppy - a very similar noise is sometimes heard from the Love Puppy Monster Pocket located at Bechamels station.
