Black Dragon
Hmm... Think there's a Black Dragon Slayer? Or even a "Dark" Dragon Slayer? Or could it perhaps just be Metallicana? Baithin 16:54, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

1 element doesn't mean on dragon
Could there be many fire dragons or iron dragons and many fire dragon slayers so could rogue and sting be fire and iron respectively?

White Dragon and Shadow Dragon names
In regards to the dragons "Vicelogia" and "Skyadrum," I have just figured out name translations that make more sense for both of them.

First, their names are spelled バイスロギア (Baisurogia) and スキアドラム (Sukiadoramu) in Japanese, respectively. Looking at the raw Japanese scans where Igneel mentions the dragons, these katakana names are written alongside kanji in the form of furigana. バイスロギア is written next to 白竜, which means "White Dragon," while スキアドラム is written next to 影竜, meaning "Shadow Dragon." For proof, take a look at this image (while it lasts).

Second, let's take a closer look at their names. The バイス in バイスロギア was transliterated as "Vice." But it is also a transliteration of the word "weiss" (or "weiß"), which is German for "white." Seeing as though this is the White Dragon we're talking about, I find it makes more sense to call this dragon "Weisslogia." Similarly, I have found that the スキア in スキアドラム is most likely translated from the classical Greek word for "shadow," "skia" (or σκιά). So the name of the Shadow Dragon may very well be "Skiadram" (or "Skiadrum" if you'd rather).

I hope this proves to be helpful. Immblueversion (talk) 18:19, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
