The Legendary Dragons are three ancient Knights who used to live in the Dominion of the Beasts, and answered Ironheart's call to defend Atlantis. Dartz transformed them into Dragons to weaken them. Their names come from the ancient philospher Plato's workings.

In the Waking the Dragons arc of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba each receive one of the three Legendary Dragon cards: "The Eye of Timaeus", "The Claw of Hermos" and "The Fang of Critias", respectively.

Although the Dragons are widely believed to be Spells, they were played in the Monster Card Zone in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

These cards are very unique, because "The Eye of Timaeus" can fuse with other monsters to create new monsters, while "The Fang of Critias", when activated, can fuse with Trap Cards to create monsters that possess similar effects to the Trap it fuses with. By tributing another monster, "The Claw of Hermos" can fuse with it to create Equip Cards, which are then immediately equipped to a monster.
