Dragons are mythological creatures found on various planets in the galaxy, though there are only a few thought to be in existence.
History
Due to their rare status, dragons were incorporated into myths and stories in various places in the universe.
One dragon was discovered on the planet Earth, and believed to be a threat to the local population; Hero team Epsilon 4, a newly graduated team specializing in mythical creatures, was dispatched to deal with the dragon. However, the dragon was not as vicious as initially reported, and easily contained by the Heroes.
There are robotic dragon-like creatures called robot dune dragons. They are built by people as skilled as Nathaniel Zib. These creatures can track down stolen items in places that Heroes cannot find them in, similar to animals who use their senses of smell to track the items down.[SM1, p. 41]
When the Brains arrived on the Makuhero Planet, one discovered a male techno-organic dragon-like creature called Dragon Bolt living in a dark cave in a jungle, and possessed and mutated him. Dragon Bolt traveled to the Hero Factory during the Attack on Makuhero City, successfully penetrating the building by diving into a wall to make a hole in it. At the Factory, Dragon Bolt encountered Daniel Rocka, cornering the Hero in an equipment room. There, Rocka donned his jetpack in order to take on the dragon in an aerial battle. Rocka was ultimately able to disable the Brain controlling Dragon Bolt, turning him back into a normal dragon.[Episode 10] It is unknown if the Brains had controlled more dragons in the planet, but if they did, then the Heroes must have freed the dragons from the Brains.
There are winged, six-headed solar-steel dragons that can travel in outer space and eat organic life. They can shoot lasers from their eyes. Preston Stormer once made a Drop Ship with a chameleon circuit create an illusion of such a dragon to scare away a small group of Brain-possessed robots in Tranquis VII.[SM4, p. 93-94]
Abilities and Traits
Dragons are powerful, ancient creatures, who are reputed for their brutal nature, and serve as the inspiration for numerous legends. However, dragons are often more placid than their reputations suggest. Dragons often have the capability to breathe a weaponized element for offensive purposes, such as fire or electricity. Known dragons are quadrupedal.
Makuhero Planet Dragons
The dragons seen in the Makuhero Planet are blue and techno-organic.[Episode 10][FO:MSG] Their species' real name is unknown. They are peaceful and friendly. People in Makuhero City did not see the dragons often or know them well, and several people knew their existence[FO:MSG, p. 82](Dragon Bolt vs Jet Rocka!) before Dragon Bolt came to the city. When he did, the people observed him.[Episode 10] The dragons are known to live in dark caves in jungles. They are larger and more powerful than the other species on the Makuhero Planet.[TBW, p. 39] They are around as large as an XL Hero, and their mouths are large enough to eat a Brain in one bite. They have wings that allow them to fly.
When Dragon Bolt was possessed and mutated by the Brain, he became fiercely hostile. The transformation granted him massive storm wings and spiked armor. Dragon Bolt had razor-sharp tail spikes, which could pierce most defenses.(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine) became almost immune to pain.[FO:MSG, p. 82] His head also got enlarged.(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine) He also gained the ability to make his eyes glow in the dark.(Dragon Bolt vs Jet Rocka!) He was known to encase himself with electricity when he was possessed by a Brain.[Episode 10] He was so powerful that he could smash through the Hero Factory's wall. After Dragon Bolt's Brain was removed, he changed back to his normal form and behavior.
Weapons
The dragons possess a strong tail that could possibly injure a normal Brain Attack Hero if the Hero is hit by it. The tip of the tail has a yellow pincer,[Episode 10] and is very quick.(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine) The dragons also have very sharp teeth, jagged claws,(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine) strong arms,(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine) and two horns. When Dragon Bolt was mutated, his jaws were almost indestructible and could bite through even the strongest armor.(shown in the July-August 2013 issue of the LEGO Magazine)
