Dragons represent the primary feature of Dragon Mania Legends and are the very foundation of the game. These inhabit the world of [[Dragolandia]], along with many other human [[characters]] that can be found working alongside or against the {{chr}}. There are [[Table of Dragons|hundreds of Dragon species]], each species having a unique appearance. Almost all Dragons can [[Breeding|breed]] with one another to produce more Dragons, {{ctg|battle}} against other Dragons, or even produce [[Gold]].

Dragons [[Hatching|hatch]] from {{ctg|Images:Dragon Eggs|eggs}} and then transition from their {{ctg|Images:Dragon Babies|baby}} stage to their {{ctg|Images:Dragon Adults|adult}} stage upon being fed. [[Dragon Feeding|Feeding]] is the only way to [[Dragon Leveling|strengthen and grow]] a Dragon. Dragons do not age past their adult form, only increase up to a maximum level through feeding, meaning they may be immortal. At Level 4, the young Dragon assumes its adult form and can then breed, [[Dragon Training|train]], improve its {{ctg|skills}} at the [[Dragon Academy]], and participate in various battles in the game.

The only way for Trainers to get rid of their Dragons is to [[Gold#Selling|sell]] or [[Enchantment Altar#Ascension|ascend]] them. [[Chronos]] and {{ctg|Clan Dragons}} are the only unsellable Dragons in the game.

==Obtaining==
There are several ways to obtain Dragons. Theoretically, any Dragon can be made available as part of a limited or permanent [[Main Shop#Promotions|bundle]] in the [[Main Shop]], turning this method into the fastest one in the game.

Aside from possible bundles or deals, the most common way to obtain Dragons is through breeding for them in the [[Breeding Den]], the only place where Dragons can mate with one another. They can also be bought from the various shops in the game, such as the [[Main Shop]] or [[Bottomless Dungeon#Dungeon Shop|Dungeon Shop]], using a specific {{ctg|In-Game Currency|currency}}. There are several {{ctg|Base Dragons}} in the game, each embodying a different {{ctg|Elements|Element}}, which can be purchased with [[Gold]] from the Main Shop when the {{chr}} reaches a [[Player Level|certain level]]. These are the only ones that can be purchased in exchange for this currency.

Some Dragons in the game can only be bred or bought during a [[Breeding#Limited-Time Breeding|limited-time period]]. However, there are many other Dragons that are unbreedable. {{ctg|Clan Dragons}} and {{ctg|Boss Dragons}} are such Dragons, with the former being attainable only through [[Clans|Clan-related activities]] and the latter through purchasing in exchange for [[Gems]] after several conditions have been met. There are also Dragons that are won through competing in the various {{ctg|events}} that take place in the game, either against other Trainers or against the game itself, or as part of a Clan completing various [[Clans#Quests|quests]] or {{ctg|Clan Events|competing against other Clans}}. Other Dragons are earned through different {{ctg|battle}} settings, such as those in the [[Bottomless Dungeon]], [[Enchantment League]], [[Dragon League]] and [[Campaign Map]].

Once a Dragon egg is obtained, regardless of the method, it must then be incubated in the [[Hatchery]] until it is ready to hatch. The only Dragon that does not come from an egg is [[Chronos]], a Dragon that possesses no {{ctg|Elements}} or {{ctg|Types|rarity}} and is obtained through a [[Ruins|unique method]]. Eggs that do not come from breeding will be found in the {{i|inventory|2}} under the [[File:Eggs Tab.png|22px|link=Inventory#Eggs]] tab and can be sent to be incubated from there. After hatching the Dragon, it will need to be placed in a fitting [[Habitats|Habitat]] or in the [[Dragon Vault]]. The [[Dragon Codex#Codex|Codex]] keeps track of all the Dragons in the {{chr}}'s possession, as well as in the entirety of [[Dragolandia]], except Clan Dragons and Chronos.

Dragons obtained through [[Breeding#Enchanted Breeding|Enchanted Breeding]] are unbuyable, even if they are present on the Trainer's islands. With very few exceptions, {{c|Divine}} Dragons are also unbuyable. Lastly, [[Chronos]] is unbuyable, as well, and can only be obtained once by finding various shards of [[Chronos#Chronosian Seals|Chronosian Seals]] while exploring [[ruins]].

===Duplicates===
A {{chr}} is considered to have duplicates of a Dragon if two or more of the same species are present, at the same time, in a [[Habitats|Habitat]] on any of the Trainer's {{ctg|islands}} or in the [[Dragon Vault]]. In extremely rare cases, usually during large-scale {{ctg|events}}, duplicate Dragons in the [[inventory]] can be taken into consideration as such.

Most Dragons that are acquired through a method other than buying or breeding are not usually available to be bought as duplicates until they are obtained and hatched by the Trainer and then subsequently placed in a Habitat or in the Dragon Vault. {{ctg|Normally-Breedable Dragons}} and {{ctg|Dungeon Dragons}}, {{ctg|VIP Dragons}} (as long as the Trainer has the necessary [[VIP Status#VIP Levels|VIP Level]]), {{ctg|Boss Dragons}} (as long as they are beaten at least once in [[Normal Mode]]), Dragons that are currently [[Breeding#Limited-Time Breeding|limited-time breedable]] (except {{ctg|Chain Breeding Events}}), and Dragons that are currently part of a [[Main Shop#Promotions|promotion or bundle]] in the [[Main Shop]] can always be purchased without prior presence on the islands. However, the first three categories of Dragons and Dragons made available through [[Breeding#Breeding Tokens|Breeding Tokens]] must first be [[Player Level|unlocked as the Trainer progresses through the game]]. {{ctg|Limited-Time Dragons|Limited-Time Dragon}} duplicates whose related event has ended may only be purchased by tapping their entries in the ''Dragon Codex'' tab of the {{i|Dragon Codex|}} [[Dragon Codex]], they do not appear available for purchase through the regular [[Main Shop]] option.

Dragons that can be purchased as duplicates will usually be buyable in exchange for [[Gems]]. Base Dragons are always purchasable in exchange for [[Gold]] while Dungeon Dragons are always purchasable in exchange for [[Dungeon Tokens]]. There is no limit to how many Dragons of the same species a Trainer can obtain through breeding, as long as that particular Dragon is currently breedable. Additionally, {{ctg|Card Dragons}} (a type of Dragons that are obtained only in exchange for matching [[Dragon Pieces]]) can be obtained as duplicates since there is no limit to how many matching Pieces a Trainer can have for any of those Dragons. 

With the exception of Chronos and Clan Dragons, Trainers can have duplicates of the same species of Dragons. The Trainer can also not come into the possession of more than one of the same species of a Boss Dragon, unless that Dragon is made available for purchasing in a [[Main Shop#Promotions|bundle, promotion or sale]].

Since some Dragons need to be present on the islands to purchase duplicates thereof, those obtained through a method other than buying or breeding will most likely never be obtainable again if they are sold.

==Stats==
{{see|{{ctg|Stats}}}}

Almost all Dragons in the game possess certain characteristics known as {{ctg|Elements}} and {{ctg|Types|rarity}}. These characteristics determine their [[Breeding#Breeding Length Calculation|breeding]] and [[Hatching#Hatching Length Calculation|hatching]] time, as well as {{ctg|battle}} and [[Gold]]-producing attributes known as {{ctg|stats}}. There are three different stats for Dragons who possess them; {{ctg|Base Health|Health}}, {{ctg|Base Attack|Attack}} and {{ctg|Base Gold per Hour|Gold per Hour}}. Stats increase whenever the Dragon [[Dragon Leveling|increases in level]]. Clan Dragons and Chronos have no stats, while Boss Dragons possess only the first two stats.

{{#lsth:Habitats|Inside Habitats}}
==Names==
All Dragons in the game, in addition to their species name or simply their name, have given names. Only Chronos, Clan Dragons, and Boss Dragons have no given names. These given names are randomly assigned to Dragons upon being hatched, but the {{chr}} can choose to rename their Dragon through that specific Dragon's [[Dragon Codex#Specific Codex Entry|Codex Entry]] and give them another name that is limited to eight characters.<br>The pool of 306 predefined names randomly assigned is as follows:
