Couatls and Crimson Couatls are level 7 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Serpentarium.

Couatls and Crimson Couatls, as well as Hydras, Chaos Hydras, Sea Serpents, Haspids Horn of the Abyss, and all living Dragons, can be transformed into Bone Dragons at a Skeleton Transformer.

Special Ability: Meditation[edit | edit source]

Meditation.png Couatls and Crimson Couatls can activate their meditation ability once per combat to become completely invulnerable until their first turn in the next round. Opponents cannot target them with spells or attacks and they cannot be affected by anything while they are invulnerable, even if a player has Orb of Vulnerability. Couatls must skip their turn to meditate, while Crimson Couatls can still move and attack after meditating.

While meditating, a glow pulses down the unit's body periodically.

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Couatls and Crimson Couatls are statistically weak for level 7 creatures, however their strength lies in the meditation ability. This can allow you to cast Armageddon without taking any damage, although you will need another unit to cast the spell from if you don't have Crimson Couatls yet. Once upgraded to Crimson Couatls, the units can also dive the opponent's shooters and meditate to avoid taking damage.

Couatls are much cheaper than Dreadnoughts, making them ideal as your first tier 7 to build or for shorter maps. They're also the fastest creature available to Factory, both unupgraded and especially upgraded.
