unit_description= _ "No one is quite sure how the practice of taming and riding wolves came into being, but the advantages of it for a goblin are obvious. Goblins are smaller and much weaker than their orcish kin, and are often tasked to the most dangerous and unwanted parts of a fight. Any who can manage to win themselves a mount have a much safer, and daresay, more amusing role in combat.

Wolves, likely, could never support the weight of a man in plate, but a goblin in leather armor is a simple load to bear. Quite unlike horses, these mounts have a rather easy time traversing the mountains, though water and woods will still slow them down."

unit_description= _ "A fire dragon is an ancient and horrifying being that normally lives only in hushed rumor and fantastic stories. It is normal for centuries to pass without a dragon being seen in Wesnoth, and usually it is only as a shadowy form flying in the distance. Legends are very specific about the ravages of fire dragons: hideously swift in flight, leathery wings spread over one hundred feet in width, they swoop in and blast their prey with inferno jets of flame. Anything escaping the dragon's fire breath must beware its ferocious bite and crushing tail. Fire dragons are cunning and cruel and often take underlings whom they lead to victory."

unit_description= _ "A dragon is a legendary creature, normally seen only in fantastic tales. They are very rare, and were it not for the historical events, the singlehanded destruction of cities and towns that these creatures have wrought, they might be dismissed as mere myth. Legends are very specific about the ravages of dragons; noting their great strength, speed, their preternatural cunning, and above all else, the great fire that burns inside of them.

Battling a dragon is said to be the pinnacle of danger itself, fit only for fools, or the bravest of knights."
