Dragons were first introduced in Monster Rancher 1 and were obtainable only by winning special tournaments. They continued to appear in every game in the franchise and stayed locked away at the game's beginning for the first three games and both Game Boy Advance installations. In Monster Rancher 4, however, they are available from the start, although you must meet a certain skill level to regenerate them. In Monster Farm DS, you have to win a one-round tournament for permission to raise a Dragon, and if you win, you also receive an item for combining.

They have a large variety of techniques employing their wings, claws, tails, fangs, and fire breath. An attack in Monster Rancher 2 called "Dragon Combo" is one of the deadliest attacks in the game. Dragons are extremely powerful, but have relatively short lifespans compared to other species. Monsters with the Dragon sub-breed tend to have a red and scaly appearance, with some sporting small dragon wings.

Etymology[]

A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan (namely the Japanese dragon), Korea and other East Asian countries.

Its Japanese name is Doragon.
