Dracolem are a constructed species, their units cannot be recruited, promoted, or returned from the DUA. They can only be “Repaired”

Dracolem cannot summon Dragonkin. Instead they summon equipment. For every full three points of a player’s Dracolem force size, that player may bring one Save Value worth of equipment (any type) to the game. For more information on Save Value, refer to the official rules.

Only the promo "Dragonkin" Dracolem units have auto saves. These units also cannot carry items and do not count toward the equipment summoning pool size. Equipment of any type that matches an element of the terrain that the non-Dragonkin Dracolem carries does count as auto-saves, with a Save Value from the equipment up to the total health of Dracolem in that army.

During a magic action, Bronze Dracolem may count their magic results as an element or alloy that matches any other unit in the marching army, or Ivory if there are Amazons in the army. These magic results may be used to cast basic spells and species spells of species that have units in the army.

During Species Abilities phase, you may do one of the following. The item size that can be buried depends upon how many health-worth of Gold Dracolem units you have in the army.

• Bury one item from one of your armies containing a Gold Dracolem unit to return a non-Dracolem unit with the same health as the item’s Gold Value from the DUA to that army.
• Bury one item in your army to return a Dracolem unit of the same health as the item’s Gold Value from the BUA to the DUA.

During Species Abilities phase, select an army that has at least one Silver Dracolem unit. You may return a single item from your BUA to the chosen army OR if bringing back equipment, to the summoning pool. The item that can be returned depends upon how many health-worth of Silver Dracolem units you have in the army.
