Dragon family
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
Dragons are vulnerable to the Dragonsbane and Dragon Slayer swords, 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.
