Dragon

Dragons (ドラゴン) are winged reptilian creatures with some possessing magical abilities. They are considered powerful monsters both by the inhabitants of the New World and YGGDRASIL players.

New World
In ancient times dragons ruled the world and were capable of doing great feats of magic such as manipulating the weather. The most powerful were the Dragon Lords. However the rule of dragons came to an end when the Eight Greed Kings appeared in the New World and made war with the ruling dragon class. Despite the dragons decline in numbers, they are still very much active in the New World and feared by the general populace as fearsome beings.

YGGDRASIL
In YGGDRASIL, dragons were considered the strongest enemy race. Not only do they have powerful physical attacks, physical defense and endless stamina, they were also able to use numerous special abilities and magic. In fact the central World Enemy of YGGDRASIL, the final boss, the Devourer of the Nine Worlds, was a great dragon that continuously tried to eat the remaining leaves of the World Tree.

Appearance
Dragons come in many scale shades and forms, depending on their rank and habitat.

Abilities
The world's strongest race, dragons. They are masters of the sky capable of producing powerful breaths, with scales that are near impenetrable and far superior physical prowess. As they age they are able to use magic, possessing wisdom that would humble sages and a life span that humans simply cannot compare against.

Dragons possess keen senses that far surpass those of humans. If their opponents even try to deceive them with invisibility or illusions, dragons would still be able to detect them from a distance. This remains true even when they sleep. Dragons also possess a sensitive sense of smell which helps them discern the value of the things they see.
