Dragons are reptile creatures that resemble giant lizards.
Known subtypes[ | ]
By their look and habitat dragons can be split into the following sub-species:
- Drakes found in Tyria are Middle Eastern style dragons. They are mostly sturdy and have only small wings or no wings at all, leaving them unable to fly.
- Glint is an example of a northern-European dragon.
- Dragons found in Cantha are Asian style dragons with a slim, serpent-like body and large wings that allow them to fly.
- Turtle Dragons found in Cantha look like a turtle, but are actually dragons too.
- Elonian Drakes resemble Crocodiles.
On top of the aforementioned subspecies, there are two NPC dragons that are among the most powerful creatures to be found anywhere in the world of Guild Wars:
