Dragon Slayer

For the Magic see Dragon Slayer Magic.

Dragon Slayers (ドラゴンスレイヤー Doragon Sureiyā) are people who use Dragon Slayer Magic, a form of Lost Magic.

Description
There are "Old-Style" Dragon Slayers, the true practitioners, who learn from dragons and "New-Generation" Dragon Slayers, who implant Lacrima crystals into themselves, although it is only an imitation of the actual Magic, according to Cobra, though this has yet to be proven true, as he may have made this up to confuse and insult Natsu. Dragon Slayer Magic has limitless functions in Edolas, and is valued as a priceless resource for everyday uses.

Old-Style Dragon Slayers
Dragon Slayers who have been raised by a Dragon and been taught their abilities.

New-Generation (Artificial)
Dragon Slayers who have Dragon Lacrima implanted into their bodies.
