Does the bestiary lie?

[Ineth]

Fighting the Sky Dragon (on Hard difficulty, non-upscaled 3rd act) shows the following stats in the tooltip:

 

 

If instead of fighting it I use the "AddToParty" cheat code to add it to my party, its character sheet confirms those values, and lets us additionally see the dragon's Level, Attributes, and Endurance:

 

 

But when I defeat the dragon and then look at its bestiary entry, it shows different values:

 

 

The bestiary version has:

• lower Level
• lower MIG, CON, DEX
• lower Endurance
• lower Damage (probably as a result of the lower MIG)
• lower Accuracy (probably as a result of the lower level and attributes)
• lower Defenses (probably as a result of the lower level and attributes)
• same DR
• same Abilities

Is this a bestiary bug, or am I missing something?

And if it's a bug, how far-reaching is it?

The difficulty of the act3 was adjusted with WM2 - probably they forgot to update the bestiary.

Yeah, right now the bestiary is often wrong, and even tho you didn't upscale I just wanted to mention that upscaled enemies don't have adjusted stats in the bestiary. (even though PotD gets adjusted.

Wel it's not completely wrong. At level 10 that's what stats it has. It's just two levels higher now.

I'm more interested in knowing how good a party member the Sky Dragon is, and whether it can gain experience. Perhaps I shall play through as a completely dragon based party: sky, adra, alpine, two bog and... I guess Cail?

The maps will be really crowded.

2 levels higher, and better attributes.

 

The remaining stats are probably just calculated from those, yeah.

To further enhance this, I recommend playing only with fire godlike chanters, chanting exclusively dragon wailed and occasionally summoning drakes
