Dragons are a much feared race seen throughout the Drakengard series. Their overwhelming vitality and power is instinctively understood by all the other species.
As the most powerful creatures on the planet, with absolute confidence in their own power, dragons hold a severe degree of pride in themselves. From a dragon's point of view, humans and the like, whose egos alone developed abnormally, were exceedingly inferior creatures.
Proud to hold the highest ability of all living creatures when it comes to offensive ability, stamina, and vitality, and boasting unparalleled flying power, Dragons are without doubt the most powerful weapons.
Dragons are capable of altering their form to suit the enviroment. Although they may seem to have male or female-like traits or personalities, they are a sexless race.
Black Dragons
Among those of the dragon tribe, the most belligerent and warlike of them is a race called the Black Dragon. They eat humans by preference, due to their exceedingly cruel nature. Like other families, they fundamentally dislike relations with humans, but they have since some time ago held an intimate relationship with the Cult of Watchers.
Weaknesses
- A dragon's weak point is generally the area under its chins. Two well-placed arrows can end up doing a lot of damage; if these arrows are somehow magically enhanced, they could even prove deadly.
- Elf blood is a poison that nullifies a dragon's strength. The Empire killed many elves to neutralize Caim's dragon during their conflict with the Union.
Combat
Enemy dragons, including Angelus in Drakengard 2, feature many of the same abilities as the playable dragons. However, their homing attacks are far less persistent than the player's. In Drakengard 2, an effective strategy is to keep flinging homing fire at them, as they will typically spend too much time dodging in vain than attacking.
