See Table of Dragons for all the Dragons in the game

Dragons represent the primary feature of Dragon Mania Legends and the very foundation of the game. These inhabit the world of Dragolandia, along with many other human characters, and can be found working along or against the player. There are hundreds of species of Dragons in the game, each species having a unique appearance. Almost all Dragons are able to breed with one another to produce more Dragons, battle against other Dragons, or even produce Gold.

Dragons hatch from eggs and then transition from their baby stage to their adult stage upon being fed. Feeding is the only way to strengthen and grow a Dragon. Dragons do not age past their adult form, only increase up to a maximum level through feeding, thus Dragons are immortal. At Level 4, the young Dragon assumes its adult form and can then breed, train, improve its skills at the Dragon Academy and participate in various battles in the game.

The only way for players to get rid of their own Dragons is to sell them. Chronos and Clan Dragons are the only unsellable Dragons in the game.

Obtaining

There are several ways to obtain Dragons. The most common way is to breed them in the Breeding Den, the only place where they can be bred, or even buy them from the various shops in the game, such as the Main Shop or Dungeon Shop, through a specific currency. There are several Base Dragons in the game, each embodying a different Element, which can be purchased with Gold from the Main Shop when the user reaches a certain level, being 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 limited-time period. However, there are many other Dragons that can not be bred at all. Clan Dragons and Boss Dragons are such Dragons, with the former being obtainable only through Clan-related activities while the latter are available only through purchasing in exchange for Gems after several conditions have been met. There are also Dragons that are obtained through competing in the various events that take place in the game, either against other players or against the game itself, or as part of a Clan completing various quests or competing against other Clans. Other Dragons are obtained through different battle settings, such as those obtained in the Clockwork Dungeon, Enchantment League, Dragon League and Heroic Mode.

Once a Dragon egg is obtained, regardless of the method, it must then be incubated in the Hatchery until hatched. The only Dragon that does not come from an egg is Chronos, a Dragon that possesses no Elements or rarity and is obtained through a unique method. Eggs that are not obtained via breeding will be found in the inventory  under the tab and can be sent to be incubated from there. After hatching the Dragon, it will need to be placed in a fitting Habitat. The Book of Dragons comprises all the Dragons in the game, except Clan Dragons and Chronos.

With the exception of Chronos, Clan Dragons and Boss Dragons, players can have more than one of the same species of Dragons. However, most Dragons that are obtained through a method other than buying or breeding, can not, usually, be purchased as duplicates until they are in the possession of the player and are present on their islands. Normally-Breedable Dragons and Dungeon Dragons, as long as they are unlocked, Boss Dragons, as long as they are beaten at least once in Normal Mode, Dragons that are currently time-limited breedable, and Dragons that are currently part of a promotion in the Main Shop can always be purchased without prior presence on the islands. Dragons that can be purchased as duplicates will usually be purchasable 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 player can obtain through breeding, as long as that particular Dragon is currently breedable. Additionally, Card Dragons, a type of Dragons that are obtained only in exchange for matching Dragon Pieces, can also be obtained as duplicates since there is no limit to how many matching Pieces a player can have for any of those Dragons.

Dragons obtained through Enchanted Breeding and those obtained through Heroic Mode are unbuyable, even if they are present on the player's islands. Since the latter can only be obtained once, it means that there is currently no possibility to have them as duplicates. Chronos is also unbuyable and can only be obtained once by finding various shards of Chronosian Seals while exploring ruins.

Since for some Dragons their presence on the islands is needed in order to be purchasable as duplicates, those that were obtained through a method other than buying or breeding will, most likely, never be obtainable again if they are sold.

Stats

See Stats for complete details

Almost all Dragons in the game possess certain characteristics known as Elements and rarity which in turn determine their breeding and hatching time, as well as battle and Gold-producing attributes known as stats. Those that have stats, have three different ones, namely Health, Attack and Gold per Hour. Boss Dragons possess only the first two stats while Clan Dragons and Chronos have none. These stats increase whenever the Dragon increases in level.

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 player can choose to rename their Dragon and give them another name that is limited to six characters. The randomly-assigned given names are as follows:
