'''Dragon [[Monster Families|Family]]''' (Japanese Katakana: ドラゴン Romanji:''Doragon'') refers to {{MFamilies}}s in {{DQSeries}} that take on forms of traditional Western and Eastern dragons, [[:Category:dinosaurs|dinosaurs]], [[:Category:snakes|snakes]], and [[:Category:turtles|turtles]]. Occasionally, dragon-shaped {{MFamilies}}s or pallet-swaps are classified as members of the {{Aquatic}} or {{Beast}} families. Additionally, this family is referred to as the Beast family in {{DQMCH}}.

The shapes and capabilities of dragons within the series are as varied as in real-world mythology, but these monsters typically have the ability to breathe fire and many possess skills that can {{Poison}} and cause {{Envenomation}} towards enemies. 

==Effective weapons and skills==
Dragons are vulnerable to the [[Dragonsbane]], [[Dragon Slayer]], [[Dragon claws]] and [[Dragonlord claws]] weapons, and as of the ninth game will take an additional 10% damage from any sword. The [[Dragon Slash]] skill will deal 50% more damage to dragons.
