Smoke spews from the Dragon Girls mouth.
Dragons are a rare and extremely powerful supernatural species that were thought to not even exist until one made her debut on the second episode of Legacies. The unnamed dragon girl and Sofia, are the only ones known to appear in the modern age. The Unnamed Dragon girl was killed by Alaric Saltzman with the Malivore dagger, and Sofia still is alive. It was later revealed that the entirety of her species was consumed by Malivore except for Sofia (as she is a Hybrid). According to Ryan Clarke, no monster is more terrifying than dragons which in turn lead to the creation of Malivore and the disappearance of countless other supernatural beings.
History[]
Virtually nothing is known about the early history of dragons, including how they came into being or their lifestyles as a whole. Despite this, Ryan described dragons as apex supernatural predators and that there was no monster more terrifying than them. Given their power, no other supernatural faction were any match for them on their own and it took an unholy alliance of a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire to create a golem to dispose of them.
The Dragon Hybrid[]
A Dragon Hybrid was created when a Dragon and a Witch had a child who is currently (as of The 21st Century), known as Sofia King. Her Dragonic nature made her angered time-to-time and this would lead to her destroying many migrant villages in her wake. She would later become a Preeminent Vampire-Witch-Dragon Tribrid in the 13th Century. She is injured during the Polish–Teutonic War and is given Darius Salvatore's Blood, before he broke her neck, turning her into a Hybrid (Preeminent Vampire and Dragon).
Throughout Legacies Series[]
In Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn, she is encountered by Alaric, Rafael and Hope in the woods. While Hope and Rafael leave to find Landon, Alaric tries to talk to her, but she remains silent and a bit jittery. He takes out a phone to talk to Dorian, but the woman takes it and starts walking off with it. When Alaric confronts her about his phone, her eyes and parts of her mouth start glowing and she breathes fire almost on him. He then quickly runs off and at first they think she is a pyromancer until more is being described to Dorian, who concludes she is a dragon. It is also then revealed she was the one responsible for the deaths of the bus passengers, not Landon. She confronts the group, who have found Landon, and she silently demands the knife Landon has. When he refuses, she gets angry and breathes more fire. She then transforms into her dragon form and is confronted by Hope, who had a hidden dark spell with her to kill someone with. The spell takes the dragon down and back in her human form, Hope demands why she wants the knife for, but the woman remains silent and then dies.
In I'll Tell You a Story, Ryan Clarke reveals that millennia ago, the situation with the dragons reached a breaking point as the dragons caused mass-destruction with no end in sight. This resulted in an unholy alliance of an unnamed witch, werewolf, and vampire, coming together to end the reign of dragons once and for all by creating an immortal being created from mud with the ability to consume supernatural beings, trapping them in a dark dimensional prison within its body for all time. This Golem was named Malivore. When Malivore was ready, it attacked the dragons in human form when they came to steal the treasures from the villages they previously attacked. Malivore consumed them until no dragons remained, wiping all memory of their existence from the collective consciousness.In I'll Never Give Up Hope, as Malivore's attempts at expelling Hope Mikaelson failed due to not wanting to release Ryan Clarke, he dispatched another dragon to attack them. Before the dragon could incinerate them, they ran from it.
Psychological Characteristics[]
Dragons, for reasons unknown, have an affinity for stealing "treasures". After killing the bus passengers off Route 29, the unnamed dragon girl stole their watches, jewelry, identification cards, and cell phones and stored them in a barrel inside her lair, an abandoned root cellar. Even Hybrid Dragons appear to possess this same attribute as Sofia was fascinated with the gold and diamond casing that Vampire blood was in. It remains unknown as to why dragons are profoundly enamored with collecting treasure, but they will terrorize both human and supernatural beings to obtain what they want most.
Physiology[]
The dragon girl fire-breathing.
Dragons, at least in their human forms, look like normal people. However, when they produce fire, there are several noticeable features that change, such as their eyes, throat and mouth glow orange as fire is expelled. Despite being capable to produce fire, the unnamed dragon girl, was mute and could not speak for reasons unknown. Dragons also have the ability to shapeshift from their human forms into their much larger dragon form. Specifically with the unnamed dragon girl, she grew in mass at a considerable rate, scales covered her skin, horns grew from her forehead, she produced a tail, and her arms and hands developed into wings capable of sustaining flight. Like in her human form, she retained her fire-breathing ability.

Around a millennia ago (as of The 21st Century), in certain parts of the world, there were monsters. In one region there were no monsters more terrifying than dragons. The unnamed dragon lady ravaged the lands and no other faction on their own were strong enough to match them. However, an unholy alliance was formed between a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire, together they created a golem capable of consuming all of the dragons. When the dragon lady, in human form, returned to the village to collect the treasure, it consumed her and all of the others until the dragons were gone - swallowing them into an endless space inside itself. | Alive (consumed by Malivore) | Unknown (Age 100+) |

The unnamed dragon girl was seemingly a young, mute girl, who's only interests were collecting shiny objects, such as Alaric's phone and watch. When she was threatened, she would attack people by breathing fire. For an unknown reason, she wanted the stolen supernatural knife in Landon's possession. | Deceased | Unknown |
 |
Malivore consumed an untold number of terrifying monsters - dragons being the most feared. Contained within him, the unnamed dragon attacked Hope and Ryan, though the pair escaped. The dragon, like all the other creatures, remained isolated and contained. | Alive (consumed by Malivore) | Unknown |

Sofia was born in 1109 C.E and lived as a Dragon until the mid 15th Century. Sofia is also a member of The King Family, a member of The Sisters and is the adoptive daughter of Darius Salvatore. It is believed that she had survived so long without being consumed by Malivore, as she was a Preeminent Vampire-Witch-Dragon Hybrid. | Alive | 922+ |
Bloodline Connection[]
Every single Dragon comes from the same bloodline (they are all related to one another).
Powers and Abilities[]
- Feasible Immortality: Every single Dragon shown does not appear to suffer from old age. Sofia King said that she stopped aging at adulthood so it is unknown weather this is immortality, just something in the case of Sofia, or simply Longevity.
- Fire breathing: The ability to generate fire within themselves and to and expel large flames from their mouths.
- Shapeshifting: The ability to take on a humanoid form and/or to change into a winged-dragon, gaining the ability to fly and retaining the ability to breath fire.
- Super Durability: The ability to be supernaturally resistant to physical damage as long as the damage is not directly to the dragon's soft spot. The unnamed dragon girl was relatively unfazed when she was stabbed directly in the heart with a dagger.
- Super Strength: Dragons possessed an unknown level of physical strength while in their dragon forms; while this was never directly shown, they were described as more terrifying than any other monster.
Weaknesses[]
- Soft Spot: Dragons, according to Dorian and the lore he uncovered, can be killed by driving a sword or dagger through their "soft spot". In the case of the unnamed dragon girl, it was revealed that stabbing her through the throat, was enough to kill her, when stabbing her in the heart did not. When she is "severely" injured in The Polish–Teutonic War Sofia King says to Darius Salvatore that her soft spot is located in the back of her mouth. This would be proven when Darius drives his sword through her alleged soft-spot, killing her, and ending her life as a Dragon-Witch Hybrid. What classifies as a dragon's "soft spot", whether a specific organ or location, such as the throat, was not elaborated upon.
- The Darius Stone Sword: If a Dragon is stabbed with The Darius Stone Sword then their lifeforce will be drained into the sword until they themselves are trapped within the stone.
- The Sword of Alexandria: The Sword of Alexandria will do the same thing as The Darius Stone Sword to a Dragon, although at a much lesser extent.
- Kiatero: Kiatero will severely weaken Dragons. Items made from it (i.e The Darius Stone Sword and The Sword of Alexandria) will also harm and have the potential to kill them with slight ease.
- Witchcraft: Dragons are still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft; however, this is limited. Hope performed a death spell on the unnamed dragon girl, and while it caused her to shapeshift back into her humanoid-form and wounded her, the spell did not kill her. Whether or not this is Hope's inability with the spell or a dragon's resistance to magic remains to be seen.
