Dragon

Dragons (竜) are a species that inhabit the Underground World.

Overview
Dragons are fierce creatures that possess tremendous combat ability. They have two long, pointed horns and enormous wings on their back. Their muscular bodies were covered in tough metallic scales, and they were also highly resistant to magic. This combination made them particularly hard to kill.

Two thousand years ago, the dragons were a menace that fed on both humans and demons alike, prompting the Demon King Anos to send his army to exterminate them. They were thought to have gone extinct, but they survived by burrowing into the Underground World, where they ultimately gave birth to their more descendants; the Dragonewts.

Powers and Abilities
Dragons are creatures who possess vast magical and physical abilities while being highly resistant to physical attacks and magic, even more so towards Nedra. According to Lay, Shin avoids hitting their scales so as not to blunt his Demon Swords. As a result, the easiest way to kill a dragon is by beheading them, as there is a gap in their neck where there are no scales.

They possess the ability to fly by the use of their wings, though due to the fact that creatures that primarily reside in the underground, they do not possess the ability to fly for long periods of time to their nature as fossorials. They are also powerful diggers that employ their pointed horns and magic to make tunnels. Since they dwell underground, dragons hunt people on the surface by sensing their movement through the ground's vibration. They build speed and then burst through the surface to attack them. However, this is usually accompanied by an increasing tremor, so it's possible to predict where they will appear and ambush them instead.
