An interesting thing to note is that the dragons also get their str bonus added to their thaco. str 25 gives them +7 to hit and +14 damage. Thus, firkraag actually has -12 thaco for melee. I don't think D&D planned on dragons getting their str bonuses to their attacks, but it is a good balancer when you are fightning them with partys of 6 very high lvl chars...
Also interesting is that the black dragon duel weilds his claws, thus getting one extra attack(4, compared to the usual 3), but at a penaly to his thaco(still has a negative thaco though, due to the str bonus).
