Types of Dragons[]
Main Types[]
Broadly speaking, dragons can be divided into following groups:
- Western Dragons, typically depicted as a huge fire-breathing, scaly and horned lizard-like creature, with leathery, bat-like wings, with four legs and a long muscular tail. It is sometimes shown with feathered wings, crests, fiery manes, ivory spikes running down its spine and various exotic colorations. Dragon's blood often has magical properties. The typical dragon protects a cavern or castle filled with gold and treasure and is often associated with a "great" hero who tries to slay it. Though a winged creature, the dragon is generally to be found in its underground lair, a cave that identifies it as an ancient creature of the earth.
- Asian Dragons, typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. Traditionally they symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods, and are also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck. They have also extended range of supernatural powers, changing size or form (most are able to take human shape), fly among the clouds or hide in water, form clouds, turn into water, change color as an ability to blend in with their surroundings as an effective form of camouflage or glow in dark places. Asian Dragons are also known as Eastern Dragons.
- Lesser Drakes is something of a catch-all category, including the lesser dragon-like beings, such as wyverns, worm/wyrms, lindworms, etc., which are generally smaller and more animal-like in mind and behavior. Commonly these dragons have more animal instincts than intelligence.

Universal Differences[]
In some universes, there are a variety of dragons with different abilities; in Dungeons and Dragons, for example, dragons are arranged by type and corresponding element (Red dragons are fire-breathers, bronze dragons use electricity).
American Dragon Universe[]
Within the universe, dragons are shape changers who can easily shift between human and dragon form to move between the mystic & human worlds. They have the traditional set of powers but utilize their chi to make Thinking Duplicates of themselves and as an excess supply for Mysticism and spell casting. More experienced users can utilize their chi for making Life-Force Constructs such as energy claws.
A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Universe[]
These dragons are inspired by the European version, but more closely resemble the Wyvern, having wings attached to their forelimbs. Most of the members of House Targaryen (and their ancestors, the Valyrians) tamed dragons and frequently used them in warfare. Hatching the eggs is no easy task, requiring a combination of fire and a blood sacrifice. Scale color also varies.
Bleach/Burn the Witch Universe[]
These Dragons are supernatural beings that exist in London. Only visible to residents of Reverse London, they are largely protected and controlled by the Western Branch of the Soul Society, Wing Bind. There are a few individuals in Front London who are capable seeing these Dragons, known as Watchers. Reverse London domesticates many of these Dragons for the production of resources. Ordinary citizens are forbidden from interacting with Dragons, unless they become members of Wing Bind, doing so otherwise induces a substance known as Dragon Toxin to accumulates in their system and turns them into Dragon clad after reaching a certain threshold of concentration.
Berserk Universe[]
A race of astral creatures, Dragons were brought into the physical world in the aftermath of the Great Roar of the Astral World.
- Canyon Dragons

- Black: Darkness Dragons
- White: Ice Dragons
- Blue: Water Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons Universe[]
The powers and personality depend on scale colors. There are two main categories of dragon (supplement materials introduce more dragon categories): Chromatic (the Evil-aligned) and Metallic (the Good-aligned). Keep in mind that dragons tend to change in Dungeons & Dragons, as different editions are created and discarded. Here is a sample selection of what you might encounter:
- Chromatic Dragons
- Black, Copper and Green dragons breathe acid. Black and Copper dragons breathe a line of acid, whereas Green breathes a cone of acidic gas.
- Brass, Gold and Red dragons breathe fire. A Red or Gold dragon's breath is a cone, whereas a Brass dragon's breath is a line. NOTE: Brass dragons can also breathe a cone of sleep.
- Silver and White dragons breathe cold. Both dragons' breath cones. NOTE: Silver dragons can also breathe a cone of paralyzing gas.
- Bronze and Blue dragons breathe lightning. Both dragons breathe in lines. NOTE: Bronze dragons can also breathe a cone of repulsion.
- Metallic Dragons: Dragons that also have extra breath weapons with spell-like effects, breathed in cones.
- Copper dragons breathe slow gas.
- Brass dragons breathe sleep gas.
- Silver dragons breathe paralyzing gas.
- Bronze dragons breathe repulsion energy.
- Gold dragons breathe weakening gas.

Spyro Universe[]
These dragons are much inspired by the classic European, with powers of flight and a breath weapon, but are limited to the mastery of a single element. In the original series of games, there were six breaths: Fire, Water, Bubble, Electricity, Ice and Wind. Other breaths added later include Fury, Earth, Poison, Shadow and Fear.
- Purple dragons are a special and rare breed of dragon. They have the ability to harness the power of multiple elements as opposed to a single one.
Skylanders Universe[]
These dragons vary in size and appearance, as well as powers. Younger dragons are highly adaptive to their surroundings, making their environment and childhood a key factor to their adulthood, powers, appearance, and personality. Their powers are mainly linked to the elements of Skylands, these dragons also possess powerful magic which also makes them immune to mind control. There are multiple species of dragons as well, which all possess their own unique abilities.
- Purple Dragons Much like the purple dragons from the Spyro series, purple dragons in Skylanders can harness the powers of all the elements.
Rave Master Universe[]
In this world, a sentient species known as the Dragon Race reside from a dimension known as the Mystic Realm. These Dragons take on human form for hand-to-hand combat and have their own style of martial arts mixed with magic using Dragon based techniques such as utilizing different Dragon elements from their realm into their attacks. Upon reaching the age of 20, they turn into half Dragonized humanoids, which is then they begin a year of training, they then must undergo the Dragon Trial at a shrine in the Mystic Realm to expel the evil dragon spirit from within, thus the Dragon Race becomes an adult as they return to a human form. Should the trial be held anywhere else, a Dragon Race will run the risk of turning into a complete Dragon, with the recipient's sense of self, memories and emotions are replaced by animalistic savagery, the only cure being a miracle elixir that undoes their ailments. Members of this race are also able to tame and control Dragons.
Fairy Tail Universe[]
In this universe, there are Dragons corresponding to each element, and each dragon race is attuned to their element. These Dragons can consume their element from an external source to replenish their strength and are immune to said element. A Dragon's element is notably stronger than natural ones and users of the same element. Their power can also be taught to humans as Dragon Slaying Magic via Enchantment. Dragons in this world are so resilient that they can only be harmed by other Dragons or Dragon Slayers. Even then, a standard slayer would still face difficulty defeating a Dragon for lacking enough power. This magic also gives them Dragon enhanced senses but makes them sensitive to any type of motion sickness except for flying creatures. These humans also run the risk of turning into Dragons and losing their sanity upon overuse of this magic unless certain measures are taken. Those with enough control can partially Dragonize their body into that of a Dragon. Some Dragons can even use magic to transform into humans. Dragons and Dragon Slayers can reach certain levels of power such as Dragon Kings and Dragon Gods, to which their power increases tremendously, outranking those of the same element. A Dragon's heart can also be harvested and crystallized into a magic gem that grants someone that Dragon's power upon it surgically implanted without needing a Dragon to teach them. Automatons can also be created to possess a Dragon's power. A person can also obtain a Dragons power by consuming them; however, this puts them even more at risk of Dragonification.
