Dragon

Dragons are the mystical creatures in the Madan no Ou to Vanadis series. According to most folklore, it is one of the powerful mystical creatures who has powerful elemental powers. They also live in secluded areas in Brune and Zhcted and are greatly feared and respected by both kingdoms.

Overview

Dragons are one of the most powerful beings in the land, and also one of many rare mystical creatures. Depending on the types and elements, they have variety of shapes and sizes, including their powers. Most of the dragons inhabited in remote areas in Europe and it was rarely seen by anyone even in the wild. Dragons do not like the smell of human (even for a tamed one), thus they seldom appeared in front of human eyes, or approaching to populated areas such as cities.

As most of the parts, most dragon were durable and even it's vulnerable parts (such as eyes) are too tough to be injured. Anything that attack upon them would immediately break the weapon and not even a powerful weapon could even harm it. Because of it, the materials itself was too difficult to process, ranging from nails and fangs to even its scales. The nails, fangs, scales, no matter what, were difficult to work. Blades would shatter, hammers would break. Even if heated for tens of days, these parts were remained unscratched.

Dragons and the Viralt (Dragonic Tools)

Because of their tough durability, dragons were considered as materials for the Vanadises' Viralts (Dragonic Tools), which are considered as sacred, and were given to the first Vanadises by the Black Dragon King. Each of these weapons has their unique personality as well as elemental powers. Only Vanadises' Viralt, Tigre's Black Bow and Durandal (The Sword of Invincibility, that can match against the Viralts) can defeat the Dragons.

However, Tigre did manage to kill a young dragon (Earth Dragon) with various techniques and resources from the forest, although the dragon wasn't fully grown.
