{{Infobox/Archetype/StartShow card image|Blue-Eyes White Dragon|"[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", a Dragon monster.}} '''Dragon''' (ドラゴン ''Doragon'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]s. It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''. == Overview == Dragon monsters primarily represent mythological dragons from various cultures. They typically appear as serpentine, reptile, or avian beings that symbolize chaos, both either evil or good, fierceness and intimidation. Due to being one of the most prominent Types in the franchise, Dragons come in many shapes and forms, from the typical bipedal [[wikipedia:European dragon| image name = TridentDragionEuropean dragon]]s, such as "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" to the traditionally-TF04serpentine [[wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Chinese dragon]]s, such as "[[Divine Dragon Ragnarok]]", to everything in-JPbetween and beyond. From [[Series 9]] onwards, Dragon monsters also encompass human-VGdragon hybrids that add draconic features to human forms, representing either humans with draconic powers or dragons transformed into human forms.pngExamples include "[[Dragon Core Hexer]]", "[[Fallen of Albaz]]", and "[[Dragonmaid]]" monsters. Dragons primarily come in [[DARK]] or [[LIGHT]], although there are Dragon monsters for all six primary Attributes. Dragons have a strong association with the [[List of unofficial terms#Boss| image size boss monster]] role in decks and deck themes; there are many high-Level/Rank/Link Rating Dragon monsters with high ATK (rivalled only by the [[Machine]] type) and powerful effects, and several multi-type themes have Dragon monsters as their ace, such as "[[Judgment Dragon]]" in "[[Lightsworn]]" or "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]" in "[[Infernity]]". Due to its prominence, Dragon-focused themes come in many playstyles, from simple Aggro-Beatdown tactics to Burn. ==Dragon-focused Decks=====Dragon Fusion Decks=== {{See also|Blue-Eyes|Dragonmaid|Branded| image caption Despia}}Historically, various Dragon Decks often focus on getting Fusion Monsters like "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]", "[[King Dragun]]", "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]", and sometimes even "[[Dragon Master Knight]]" or "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to the field. Usually "[[Dragon's Mirror]]" or pre-[[Errata]] "[[Future Fusion]]" is used to accomplish these tasks. Though in later years, several [[Fusion Summon]]ing-based Dragon Decks or supports were introduced, which allows a large degree of hybridization between these themes.===8-Axis=== {{See also|Galaxy|Photon|Tachyon|Danger!|Horus}}8-Axis is an [[Xyz Summon]]ing-focused Deck which involves around exploiting a large number of generic [[Rank 8 Monster Cards|Rank 8]] Dragon [[Xyz Monster]]s along with other generic Rank 8 Xyz Monsters for their main plays. There are several variants of 8-Axis decks, though most of them consists of various easy-to-summon [[Level 8 Monster Cards|Level 8]] monsters to quickly summon Rank 8 monsters as soon as possible.===Dragon Link==={{InfoboxSee also|Gandora FTK|Rokket}}Dragon Link is a Deck focused on using various generic Dragon support, in particular [[Link Monster]]s requiring generic Dragon monsters as materials, to bringing out boss monsters as consistently as possible. The deck originated from a version of [[Gandora FTK]] that used Dragon swarming engines and [[Guardragon]] Link Monsters, evolved into board-building decks based on Dragon swarming and Dragon [[Link Monster]]s (including Guardragons), and as of Series 12, primarily takes the form of "[[Rokket]]" decks that focus on Dragon swarming. ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/Archetype/ExtendedName''[[OCG]]''=== | kanji <div class="columns" style= ドラゴン"column-count:3">* [[Aether]]* [[Amorphage]]* [[Armed Dragon]]* [[Blue-Eyes]]* [[Borrel]]* [[Bystial]] * [[Curse of Dragon (series)| romaji = DoragonCurse of Dragon]]* [[Divine Dragon]]* [[Dracoverlord]]* [[Dragonmaid]]* [[Dragon Ruler]]* [[Evolzar]]* [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] * [[Gaia the Dragon Champion (archetype)| english = Gaia the Dragon Champion]]* [[Guardragon]]* [[Hieratic]]* [[Materiactor]]* [[Rokket]]* [[Sangen]]* [[Starving Venemy]]* [[Starving Venom]]* [[Tenpai Dragon]] ; Mixed* [[Albaz Dragon]] * [[Chaos (series)| french = Chaos]]* [[Clear Wing]]* [[Cyberdark]]* [[Destruction Sword]]* [[Dracoslayer]]* [[Dragunity]]* [[Duel Dragon]]* [[Felgrand]]* [[Fusion Dragon]]* [[Galaxy]]* [[Horus]]* [[Majestic]]* [[Malefic]]* [[Odd-Eyes]]* [[Pendulum Dragon]] * [[Rebellion (archetype)| german = DracheRebellion]]* [[Red-Eyes]] * [[Red Dragon Archfiend (archetype)| italian = DragoRed Dragon Archfiend]]* [[Rose Dragon]]* [[Signer Dragon]] * [[Stardust (archetype)| korean Stardust]]* [[Supreme King]]* [[Synchro Dragon]]* [[Xyz Dragon]]</div> === 드래곤 ''Deuraegon[[Rush Duel]]''===* [[Blue-Eyes (Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes]]* [[High Tech Dragon]] * [[Red-Eyes (Rush Duel)| portuguese Red-Eyes]]* [[Strike Dragon]]* [[The]] ==Appearance in media== Dragão Dragon is a very prominent Type in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime and manga series. Typically, the main character's rivals would use Dragon (or Dragon-like) monsters to varying degrees in their Decks, usually as signature or boss monsters. The following characters use Dragon monsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. {| spanish style= Dragón"width:100%" | arabic style= تنّين"vertical-align:top" | |chinese = 龍 ==Manga===;''Lóng / Lung4[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

This last one is one of the most powerful Archetypes in the game; even after becoming Limited on the [[January 2014 Lists]], they were still a power to be reckoned with, as each dragon could offer support to Decks of its corresponding Attribute, giving them more consistency. The release of "Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon" sealed their destiny and made them become Forbidden.
=== Dragon Revival =Icons==Perhaps the easiest way to play Dragons, this deck focuses on sending powerful dragons These are icons used to represent the graveyard with cards such as "[[Dragon Ravine]]"/"[[Dragon Shrine]]" and "[[Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon]]", then proceeding to revive them with cards such as "[[Soul Charge]]" and "[[Return of the Dragon Lords]]". Many support cards for this deck exclusively support [[Normal Monsters]], as a result, it is often best to play this deck with [[Dragon]]-Type [[Normal Monsters]]in various video games. Due to the extreme ease with which a player can swarm the field with high-level They all depict generic reptilian dragons, [[Xyz Monsters]](Rank 7-8) are highly recommended in this deck.Cards such as [[Decoy Dragon]] and [[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]] are useful as both can summon any Level 7 or higher Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard.

==Trivia==* Outside of the Dragon Type, the [[Sea Serpent]] and [[Wyrm]] types are also thematically focused on draconic monsters, being themed after sea dragons and [[wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Eastern dragons]]/"spiritual" dragons respectively. == In other languages =={{GameplayIn other languages| fr_name = Dragon| de_name = Drache| it_name = Drago| pt_name = Dragão| es_name = Dragón| ja_name = ドラゴン| ja_romaji = Doragon| ko_name = 드래곤 | ko_rr = Deuraegon| tc_name = 龍 | tc_pinyin = Lóng | sc_name = 龙| sc_pinyin = Lóng }} == See also ==* [[List of Dragon-Type monsters]]* [[List of Dragon-Type support cards]]* [[List of Dragon-Type anti-support cards]] {{Card types}}
