Dragons are one of the native species that reside in Skylands, with Spyro being one of the many dragon characters. Skylands features a variety of dragon species closely connected to the elements - from water dragons to rock dragons, undead dragons, and even rare purple dragons.

Younger dragons are highly adaptive to their surroundings, making the way they are raised a key factor in determining their adult forms, powers and personalities.

Despite being shunned by those around them, dragons do have a strong sense of responsibility or purpose.

Abilities

Although the known trait for dragons is their ability to breathe fire, each dragon Skylander puts their own elemental twist on this talent.[2] Dragons also can live for hundreds of years, such as Ramses for example who was able to rule over his land for centuries, and is still alive to this day. Dragons possess powerful magic, which makes them immune to mind control and can even be used to reverse the power of the rogue Ancient, Brain.

Purple Dragons, like Spyro and Malefor, are a rare species of dragon who are associated with the Magic element. This allows them to harness the power of the other elements. There are also many other species of dragons, such as Water Dragons, Snow Dragons, Bone Dragons, and many more, each with their own unique abilities.

Realms

Another dragon realm is the Dragon Temple, far above the mainlands of Skylands, where all the dragons in Skylands live in "dubious" harmony with the Sheep.

Dragon King

Some fear that Vathek, an Undead dragon and Ramses'a evil brother, may one day try to steal the throne. However, Vathek eventually took the throne himself and ruled as king of Dragon's Peak, but was soon thwarted by the Skylanders.

Malefor also carries the title of Undead Dragon King, however, it is unknown if it is related to the throne of Scalos.

Rite of Passage

According to Spyro, all Dragons must take the paths of Fire or Ice and Brains or Brawn at the Dragon Temple before they reach adulthood, representing of their personalities.

Dragon Politics of Dragon's Peak

The Dragons used to vote for their leaders but their political system became so complex, no one could understand it. Even the act of voting became difficult for most Dragons. And those who wanted to rule had to campaign and make speeches, and nobody in particular liked it so they finally just said, forget it. Whoever sits on the throne is King. Luckily, for them, the first to do so was Ramses. Not only was he the quickest to sit down but he happened to also be the most qualified to lead.[3]
