The '''Signer Dragons''' (シグナーの{{Ruby|竜|りゅう}} ''Shigunā no Ryū'') are a [[series ]] of [[DragonLevel]]-7 and 8 [[TypeDragon]] [[Synchro MonstersMonster]], s introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. These legendary dragons play a part in the legend of the [[Crimson Dragon]], as well as being connected to the [[SignersSigner]] s themselves. That connection being that these legendary beasts , who are actually servants to joined forces with the Crimson Dragon, were the ones who sealed an evil within the [[Nazca Lines]]. That very same evil, now known as the "[[Earthbound Immortal]]s", reappeared once again in the world as [[Duel Monsters]] cards used by the [[Dark Signers]]. Every Signer Dragon has been featured in the anime and has been released in the [[OCG]]/[[TCG]]. They are: "[[Stardust Dragon (character)|Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (character)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon (character)|Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon (character)|Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Black-Winged Dragon (character)|Black-Winged Dragon]]" and "[[Life Stream Dragon (character)|Life Stream Dragon]]".

That same evilIn the anime, which is now known as [[Professor Fudo]] gave the "[[Earthbound ImmortalsStardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]", reappeared once again in "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]" cards to [[Rex Goodwin]]. These cards were originally designed so that their corresponding Signer could activate the world as Duel Monsters cards used by safety switches for the [[Dark SignersEner-D]]system.

All Signer Dragons have been featured on the anime. Five out of the ==Members==There are six original Signer Dragons have been released in the [[OCG]]/[[TCG]]. They are: "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", and "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]". "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" has its release confirmed in the next set, [[Extreme Victory]].

Four of ==Variations==Reflecting the rivalry between the dragons have at least one special support card: "two main characters [[Stardust DragonYusei Fudo]]" has "and [[Stardust XiaolongJack Atlas]]", "[[Stardust Flash]]", "[[Dragon (anime)|Stardust Mirage]]", "[[Starlight Road]]", "[[Shooting StarDragon]]" and "[[Stardust Phantom]]"; "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" has "[[Crimson Fire]]", "[[Red Screen]]", "[[Red Nova (cardanime)|Red NovaDragon Archfiend]]", "were the only Signer Dragons to have different upgraded versions during the ''[[Burning RebornYu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]"'' anime. Despite this, "[[Crimson Hell Secure]]" and "[[Pot of Crimson Devil Life Stream Dragon]]"; "[[Black Rose (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]" has a downgraded, armored version, "[[Thorn of Malice]]" and "[[Blue Rose Power Tool Dragon]]"; and "[[Ancient Fairy (anime)|Power Tool Dragon]]" has ", which is a required [[Ancient SunshineSynchro Material]]" and "for its [[Fairy BreathSynchro Summon]]"; ". Eventually, ''[[Life Stream DragonOCG]]" has "[[Power Tool Dragon]]". Only "[[Black''-Winged Dragon]]" have no special support cards as original upgrades of yetthe other Signer Dragons were released.

Four out ===Cosmic Synchro Monsters==={{main|Cosmic Synchro Monster}}These are upgraded forms of the six "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]s " and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", characterised by a name centered around a space phenomena. They are related to another not [[TypeSynchro Summon]]: ed in the usual method. "[[Black Rose Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]" , for example, is related to the [[PlantAccel Synchro]]s; evolution of "Stardust Dragon", requiring 1 [[Ancient Fairy DragonTuner Synchro Monster]]" is related to and its base form. Although [[FairyJack Atlas|FairiesJack]]'s new [[ace monster]]; "[[Black-Winged Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon]]" ("Red Dragon Archfiend"'s evolution) is related to not an [[Winged-Beast|Winged BeastsAccel Synchro Monster]]; and , it uses a method called "[[Red Dragon ArchfiendDouble Tuning]]" to achieve its evolution and is related in the same power range as "Shooting Star". In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, to Summon these [[FiendSynchro Monster]]s. , the user has to perform a specific ability: examples are [[Clear Mind]] for "Shooting Star" and "[[Life Stream DragonBlazing Soul]]" (due to unknown circumstances) took the form of for "Red Nova". The [[Power Tool DragonATK]]of "Shooting Star Dragon" and was actually a "Red Nova Dragon" are 500 points less than their base forms' "[[MachineMajestic]]-Type monster. Moreover" versions, "Life Stream Dragon" while their [[DEF]] is the only Signer Dragon equivalent to be a Synchro Tuner Monstertheir original form's ATK. "[[Stardust Shooting Quasar Dragon]]" has no relation as is considered the ultimate peak of yetthe Signer Dragons and all [[Synchro Monster]]s.

"[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" has been associated with the ===Other Signer [[Crow Hogan]], as seen in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DDragons's - Episode 095]].

An interesting thing to note is that the female Signers have [[Level]] 7 Dragons, while the male Signers have Level 8 Dragons.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"! Monster !!

The [[{{Main|Majestic}}"Majestic]] Dragons " monsters are upgraded forms of the Signer Dragons, temporarily granted to their users by the [[Crimson Dragon]]. "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", summoned are the only Signer Dragons to have been given this power.

They tend to have multiple powerful effects, currently being some of the strongest of all [[Synchro Monsters]]but, but as they are balanced out by returning themselves temporary upgrades, they return to the [[Extra Deck]] during the [[End Phase]] while reviving [[Special Summon]]ing their previous base form from the [[Graveyard]].

There are 2 {| class="Majesticwikitable" style=" forms; text-align:center"! Monster !!

===Synchro Dimension counterparts===In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Opening [[BELIEVE IN NEXUS]] originally confirmed the existence what was later revealed to be the [[Accel Synchro Monsters|Accel Synchro]] counterpart/evolution of "| [[Stardust Dragon]]." Thus far, Stardust's counterpart ("[[Shooting Star Dragon]]") is the only confirmed Accel Synchro evolution of a Signer Dragon. However, Jack's new ace monster "|-| [[Red Nova Rising Dragon]]" ("|| [[Red Dragon Archfiend]]'s" counterpart/evolution), is not an Accel Synchro, but uses a method called "|-| [[Double TuningPower Tool Dragon]]" to achieve evolution and is in the same power range as Shooting Star. Both monsters were released in [[Starstrike Blast]]. Their || [[ATK]] seems to be their original counterparts' [[Majestics]] forms' ATK - 500 (Majestic Star Dragon's ATK: 3800 - 500 = 3300 (Shooting Star Dragon's ATK)) (Majestic Red Life Stream Dragon's ATK: 4000 - 500 = 3500 (Red Nova Dragon's ATK)). Also their [[DEF]] is equal to the ATK of their original forms.|}

==Duel Dragons=={{main|Duel Dragon}}In the [[File:PowerToolDragonRGBTYu-Gi-ENOh! 5D's (manga)|''Yu-URGi-1EOh! 5D's]] manga, the Signer Dragons do not appear.pngInstead, a similar series known as the Duel Dragons is featured, and it is used by the modern [[Duel Priest]]s. Many of them are slightly redesigned Signer Dragons: "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon (manga)|Ancient Pixie Dragon]]", "[[Moonlight Dragon Black Rose (manga)|250pxBlack Rose Moonlight Dragon]]", "[[Blackwing Dragon Black Feather (manga)|Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon]]", "[[Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend (manga)|Hot Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and "[[Stardust Spark Dragon (manga)|Stardust Spark Dragon]]". There is no [[Duel Dragon]] counterpart of "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]"; "[[Power Tool Mecha Dragon (manga)|Power Tool Mecha Dragon]]" appears instead. All the Duel Dragons and their variations have been released in the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''.

==Playing Stylestyle==There are various kinds of playing styles for each dragon, especially "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]". All of the dragons (except "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]") have no specific [[Summoning Conditionscondition]] and are easily s, making them easy to [[Synchro Summon|Synchro Summoned]] onto the [[Playing Field]].

===Synchro Monsters=Trivia==* The initial Signer Dragons ("[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Power Tool Dragon]]", and "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]") were all designed by [[Kazuki Takahashi]]. Takahashi's illustrations also included an early concept of "[[Life Stream Dragon]]", albeit one that differed considerably from the final version.<ref name="duelart">''[[Duel Art]]'': Model, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Monster Designs</ref> * In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, despite the fact that "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon (anime)|Ancient Fairy Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend(anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]", and "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]" fought against the "[[Earthbound Immortal]]s" in the past, the [[Crimson Dragon]]* did not awaken the true form of "[[Majestic Star Life Stream Dragon (character)|Life Stream Dragon]]" in the present when [[Leo]] was Dueling against [[Devack]] (the [[Dark Signer]] with [[Earthbound Immortal Cusillu (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Cusillu]], the same one it had defeated 5000 years prior).  * In the anime, creating perfect new copies of the Signer Dragons seemed to be impossible - when [[Paradox]] stole [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]]'s "Stardust Dragon" by absorbing its spirit into a [[Majestic blank card]], the resulting copy was a black-bordered card with a mirrored image, something that was not observed in any of the other cards that Paradox copied. The hologram of the monster, however, was left unaltered. In contrast, the card copies of "Red DragonArchfiend" that [[Lester]]created were identical to the real card, but the holograms of the monsters itself had yellow, purple, and teal color schemes, instead of the red one of the original. * The Signer Dragons that were used by male Signers are [[Shooting Star DragonLevel]]8, while those used by female Signers are Level 7. * [[DARK]] is the only [[Attribute]] represented by more than one Signer Dragon ("Red Nova DragonArchfiend" and "Black-Winged Dragon"), while [[WATER]] and [[DIVINE]]* are the only Attributes not represented by any of them ("Stardust Dragon" is [[WIND]], "Black Rose Dragon" is [[FIRE]], "Ancient Fairy Dragon" is [[LIGHT]], and "Life Stream Dragon" is [[Formula SynchronEARTH]]). * "Ancient Fairy Dragon" is currently the only Signer Dragon without any upgraded counterpart.
