Skill Drain negates the effects of all monsters on the field. Since Gladiator Beasts' effects activate on the field, at the end of the battle phase, Skill Drain negates it. But for card effects that activate in the hand, like Honest or Montage Dragon, Skill Drain negates it. If this information is to create a Skill Drain Deck (which is really, really nasty because most really good decks rely on monster effects), I would also warn you about Fairy Meteor Crush and other cards that give that effect: Since Piercing Damage is an effect that must be attached to a monster, Skill Drain negates it. Also, for a Skill Drain Deck needs to have a bunch of trap-searching Spell/Trap/Monster effects and Spell/Trap/Monster effects that protect you until you until you get Skill Drain.

What are the rules of the gladiator games?

The rules of the gladiatorial contest varied. There was a senior referee, the summa rudis, and an assistant who had staffs (rudes) which were used to caution or separate opponents. These interventions were aimed at ensuring fair play. The referee could also pause the fight to allow for rest. A winning gladiator who overwhelmed his opponent raised his index finger to ask what he was meant to do next (whether to spare or kill the gladiator who lost).A gladiator could acknowledge defeat by raising his index finger which signalled the summa rudis to stop the combat. He then cast aside his weapons, kneeled and raised his hand to ask for mercy. The referee would then refer this to the editor who was the producer of the fights. The editor made the final decision about the fate of gladiator. His decision usually rested on the wish of the spectators. A wounded gladiator laid down his shield and raised his left hand as a plea for mercy. When a gladiator went down the crowd often shouted Habet, Hoc habet! (He's had it!), and shouts of Mitte! (Let him go!) or Iugula! (Kill him!).The popular notion that thumbs up meant spare the gladiator and thumbs down meant kill is questionable. It stems from poor translations from Latin. Roman writers made reference to gestures which involved the use of thumbs. However, and the Latin language does not give a precise understanding of their position. Two expressions were used: pollices premere (to press the thumbs) and infesto police (hostile thumb). The former was a gesture of approval and the latter a gesture of disapproval. An early sixth-century AD collection of poems (Anthologia Latina) mentioned that: "Even in the fierce arena the conquered gladiator has hope, although the crowd threatens with its hostile thumb." The poet Juvenal mentioned that spectators demanded the deathblow by verso pollice and the poet Prudentius mentioned that they did so by converso pollice. The meaning of these two expressions in unclear.Based on depictions on mosaics and medallions, it has been suggested pollices premere, meant pressing the thumb on the index finger of a fist. In the case of gladiatorial contests, this would have been a sign of mercy. Infesto police has been interpreted as meaning an erect thumb pointing upward. In the case of gladiatorial contests, this would have been a sign of death.An editor could decide whether the fights were going to be ad digitum (lasting to the "the finger") which meant that they stopped when the defeated gladiator raised his finger or not. In the latter case, the fight lasted until the spectators asked for the dismissal of the fighters. The editor then decided whether to accept this or let the fight continue to "the finger." The editor could also choose a game sine remissione (without dismissal). These were fights to the death. In some cases both gladiators were dismissed or released from the arena stantes missi (released standing). Missi was a plural for on the verb.Also contrary to the common stereotype, sparing the defeated gladiator was the common practice. Gladiatorial contests were fights to the death only at their beginning when they were part of funerary rites at the private funerals of the rich families. This stopped when they became public games. Skills and the quality of the fight were more important that bloodshed. Some gladiators were praised for winning without shedding blood. . Gladiators became big business for their owners: trainers, aspiring politicians or high ranking men. The professional trainers made a living out of gladiators. Gladiators were an important investment for trainers and those who sponsored them. They did not want to see the gladiators die immediately. Nevertheless, it was still a dangerous game and death rates were significant.

Douse skill drain negate the effect of stardust dragon?

No, it can't negate either of its effects. Skill Drain only negates a monster's resolution if the monster card is face-up on the field when it tries to resolve. With Stardust Dragon, its negation effect activates on the field but sends itself to the graveyard as a cost. Skill Drain can't touch it there. It's resummoning effect activates in the graveyard, so again, Skill Drain can't stop it.
