Fire breathing
Are the Black and Red Dragons the only dragon-types able to breath fire? The Green spray poison, the Blue uses frost magic, and the Bronze uses arcane magic.--Odolwa 21:14, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * In the rpg, bronze also breath fire.Baggins 02:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't the bronzes breathe tempered sand with time-magic? User: Xavius

In the Sunwell Trilogy Kalecgos breathes fire at one point. I suspect fire breath is an ability of all dragons but only the Reds use it as their primary breath weapons (black technically breath molten magma.) Xarantaur (talk) 08:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Notable Dragons
I think that the entire secton should be removed and the dragons on the list moved to their respecive dragonflights. Why is nearly every dragon in WoW notable? It is nearly repeat info from the dragonflight pages anyway.-- 22:11, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I think i went overboard adding more members but that section actualy was started before i added the known members section to the dragonflight pages. i think it serves little purpose now and should either be removed entirely or cut down to the 10 or so most notable. preferably the ones listed in the template.  22:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * It is a long list. You are the dragon fan so you condence it.-- 22:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. 22:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Height
Hight depends on gender too.Which gender is bigger? 03:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The males are generally bigger. 04:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

The height should be given in the upcoming Dark Factions, as they are getting some new vital statistics.Baggins (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Unrelated to first post, but relevant to height. Because most of WoW is sized down for obvious reasons (lag, and world can't be life-size or else too big), does this include dragons? Whenever dragons are mentioned in the books, they are made to sound like creatures of enormous proportions, especially the Aspects. But when shown in WoW, they seem smaller than they are made out to be in the books. Am I misunderstanding the text, or is there some truth behind this? jclipps (talk) 03:19, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Galakrond - Proto?
Why does Galakrond have a proto-drake icon? If it isn't a placeholder, I say get rid of it. Just because "proto" means first doesn't mean they're the very first dragons, therefore I do not think we should automatically assume he's a proto-dragon. Toran Wildpaw of the Frenzyheart (talk) 00:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * He is depicted as a Proto Dragon in Warcraft Legends in part of the Trag Highmountain plotline. Additionally I believe his skeleton in WoW matches a proto dragon's body and proportions. As well as this, multiple quests in WoW refer to dragons having been created from Proto-Dragons. Seems logical to me. Xarantaur (talk) 08:48, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, Galakrond is the first dragon to be created by the titans from which the Aspects are made, thus a Prtodragon.Gorvar (talk) 09:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Saying he was created by the Titans may be a bit much.-- 17:14, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Scales
I was reading DotD with my wife (yes that's matrimonial activity in my home), and aside from noticing how much Knaack loves the word "behemoth," I noticed the way they talked about Dragon Scales. The Goblin thought he could control Deathwing with one of his scales, and the way Korialstrasz thought of the one he had out there, he was glad that there weren't people who knew Dragon Magic so that no one could try it. Think it's worth mentioning? Meneldir (talk) 20:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The quotes were "dragon scales" and "dragon magic", not "Dragon Magic" if I recall correctly? Please try to avoid unecessary capitalization it might cause confusion.

As for him using words to describe dragons he also uses "leviathon" and "giants" alot as well.Baggins (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, but not near as much as behemoth. Anyways, is this info worth mentioning? Meneldir (talk) 22:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Devouring ?
Ok forgive my vory idea but, why Dragons have that size and they can't take out a few tiny players fro more...... unpleasant methods, well in Warcraft 3 Dragons could have devoured creatures under level 6 so why can't they in WoW too, ok it may be overpowered for them but im saying too be more realistic, do i think a Merciless Geered Warrior won't taste too well. -- 18:03, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

It is considerd not to be fair if a enemy has a one-shot attack on you and since if your devoured, you cant be rezzed by any allied player.

C'thun on the other hand does have the 'vore-attack' you just mention though.Gorvar (talk) 09:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Right but that's and instance you can still come back fro the portal, and even so if a healer is being... well you know he can ress the dead ones if he's fast and get out. And if it be in a dragon case watt holds players too just thrash him from inside. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.
 * I figure that player characters in WoW are probably closer to hero units than regular troops. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 23:19, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Nameless consorts
Two Azure Consorts, two Emerald Consorts, two Obsidian Consorts, and two Ruby Consorts all appear in the Demon Soul flashback in Ulduar. Should they be added? There were a lot of things wrong with that scene, so I do not know how they fit with the ones that are listed currently.-- 21:11, November 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see any reason to believe they are not the ones we already knew about.I say it stays as is. Maybe just a meantion that some can be seen, namelessly, in Ulduar. 00:59, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Eternal Status
As I am pretty sure that all dragons are Eternals, and because under the Eternal template in S&L it states that they don't eat, sleep, or breath (if I remember correctly), is the book wrong as an RPG book and not related to exact lore, or are the books wrong when it mentions certain dragons eating, sleeping, or breathing? jclipps (talk) 04:32, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Eternal: Note: While Dragon Aspects are Eternals the rest of the Dragons, although certainly very long lived, are not. 05:29, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, nevermind then. Thank you. jclipps (talk) 14:38, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Shapeshifting
Are all dragons able to shift shape, and if so, is it into any living creature? TherasTaneel (talk) 20:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems like all are capable of it, not sure if they're limited to what they can look like, but when it comes to "fitting in" with the intelligent races of Azeroth, they'll prefer to take their forms... though I'm sure they're capable of turning into any living creature, from a gigantic giant to a tiny roach... don't believe there's evidence to support that however. 21:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's possible that the titans might've specifically encoded them with the ability to assume a personalized humanoid form based on their subconscious self-image or something. For example, I'm guessing that, as Deathwing was transformed from the archetypal black dragon to a magma-filled, elementium-plated monstrosity, his original human Daval Prestor Classic form automatically reflected those changes and became the new iron-jawed, magma-filled "Darth Prestor" form. Likewise, I'm guessing that, while Chronormu can look like Chromie the gnome, and might be able to look like Chromie the dwarf or Chromie the tauren, I'm guessing that, if she wanted to impersonate a specific individual like, say, Moira or Jaina or Lady Katrana Prestor, she'd probably need to use illusion magic instead of merely relying on her inherent draconic shapeshifting abilities. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 23:19, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Homeworld
Does Outland count as a homeworld for dragons? The dragons there were transplanted from Azeroth. At BlizzCon 2013, Kosak said there are no native dragons on Draenor (link). --Aquamonkeyeg (talk) 20:40, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * While thats true, the Netherwing dragonflight was essentially born/created in Outland and is their home. 00:54, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
