'''Dragon Family''' (Japanese Katakana: ドラゴン Romanji:''Doragon'') refers to monsters in [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]] that take on forms of dragons, lizards, dinosaurs, snakes, or turtles; however, some dragon-shaped monsters would be classified as [[Aquatic family|Aquatic]] or [[Beast family|Beast]]. Usually, these monsters have the ability to breathe fire and many possess skills that can envenom enemies. In the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Monster]]'' series of games, Dragons are one of the main families. They possess high attributes, though they grow slowly.

'''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.

Dragon Family (Japanese Katakana: ドラゴン Romanji:Doragon) refers to monsters in Dragon Quest series that take on forms of traditional Western and Eastern dragons, dinosaurs, snakes, and turtles. Occasionally, dragon-shaped monsters or pallet-swaps are classified as members of the Aquatic or Beast families. Additionally, this family is referred to as the Beast family in Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart.

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[edit]

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.
