Dragon

Dragons are mythical creatures in the Fairy Tail Series. Dragons are intelligent beings that apparently live in solitude not wishing to meddle in human affairs. This lifestyle makes most people think they don't exist. They are extremely powerful creatures, so powerful that a form of magic had to be created to combat them. Each dragon seems to control a variety of the elements.

Despite their destructive nature, dragons seem to care for humans to the point where they raise orphaned human children as their own. While raising the human, they teach them Dragon Slayer magic to make the human more like them.

On July-7-777, all of the dragons disappeared one day and went to an unidentified uninhabited region for reasons unknown. Apparently, they are waiting to defend the humans from Zeref as a couple dragons were seen worrying about his return.
