Good Dragons and Evil Dragons

It’s not yet known if dragons are a figment of our imagination or they exist in reality. Innumerable stories and fables have been spun around them and very recently, online dragon games have also depicted them in various shades. Dragon myths and stories have always depicted colored dragons in bad light and metallic dragons in good light. While the former are known to be sly and harmful, the latter are known for their virtues and affinity towards humans. It is only from the dragon myths and dragon stories that we’ve been able to paint the beings with a black, white and grey shade which has become characteristic of them.

Good Dragons

After the quintessential favorite pet, dogs, metallic dragons are known to be the closest to humans according to dragon tales and myths.

Dragon tales tell us that golden dragons treasure their collection of artworks containing paintings and cultures. Considered to be fierce protectors of humanity, golden dragons use chlorine gas or fire cones as their breath weapon against evil forces! Very intelligent and always hungry for knowledge, gold dragons morph themselves into humans often only to share their knowledge. Their worst rivals are the red dragons whom they defeat gracefully to spread positive energy in the universe.

Similar to the good golden dragons are the copper dragons. Found in lairs and caves surrounded by lofty mountains, dragon books tell us this kind prefers wit to combat. Much like humans, they love entertaining their visitors though they might get offended if the guests are not sufficiently impressed with their humor.

Bronze dragons are the most righteous and honest among all good dragons, almost to a fault, which is why they consider the evil blue dragons to be their biggest foes. Myths and stories tell us that bronze dragons refrain from killing living beings or even enemies and they use their breath weapon to send away their evil enemies – the bad dragons – to a remote island where they cannot possibly harm other creatures.

Much like the golden dragons, silver dragons also morph themselves into humans and elves only to spend more time in their company. They consider the evil red dragons to be their worst foes as the territories of their lairs often overlap. However, unlike the other good dragons, silver dragons don’t go out of their way to bring justice to the universe. They wait for humans, elves and other good dragons to ask them for help.

Evil Dragons

Chromatic or evil color dragons are often considered to be vile, vain and vicious and one of the worst foes of humans. They are represented by colors such as red, black, blue and white.


Red dragons live close to towns where they can accessibly hunt their prey – beautiful maidens and young elves are their feast! Myths about red dragons tell us they love to wreak havoc on anything that moves. They regard all other bad dragons as inferior to them, white dragons being their worst victims of humiliation! They manipulate other dragons to either become their slaves or be killed. Known to be smooth operators, red dragons hoard enormous wealth and possess the skills to assess the value of their wealth at a glance.

Second most dangerous to the red dragons are the black dragons. They have long protruding horns emerging from the sides of their ears and projecting forward, which they use as a weapon along with their fierce acid line breath. They kill aquatic animals and other terrestrial creatures mercilessly.

Filled with the breath of lightning, blue dragons are known to misguide travelers in deserts and feast on camels. Dragon stories tell us that blue dragons possess magical skills to make ‘lesser’ creatures easily hallucinate. They burrow themselves in sand and their large horns are mistaken for desert rocks, a trick which they use in the deserts. White dragons, on the other hand, are known to be menaces of snow deserts. Known for their razor-sharp memory, the evil dragons waste no time in hunting down and brutally killing ‘lesser creatures’.
