For the related 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
Dragon Slayer Magic was, as the name implies, originally used for slaying Dragons. Each Dragon Slayer uses their form of Magic, just like each Dragon is a master of their own element. A Dragon Slayer also has the ability to eat their own element; doing so also rejuvenates them. They tend to possess superior senses to that of normal humans, in smell, sight and hearing.

There are three generations of Dragon Slayers, The First Generation, the true practitioners, who learn from Dragons, The Second Generation, who have Lacrima crystals implanted into themselves, although it is only an imitation of the actual Magic, and The Third Generation that's the combination of both previous generations. Dragon Slayer Magic has limitless functions in Edolas, and is valued as a priceless resource for everyday uses.

It seems that, for some reason, all Dragon Slayers of an advanced "level" share a weakness in motion sickness. At lower "levels" this isn't such a problem as shown with Gajeel prior to the year X791, riding on the Super Mage Giant Phantom MK II and the ship to Tenrou Island with no problem. However, after three months of intense training, he became vulnerable to motion-sickness.

First Generation
Dragon Slayers who have been raised by a Dragon and been taught their abilities.

Second Generation
Dragon Slayers who have had Dragon Lacrima implanted into their bodies.

Third Generation
Was explained by Lector that this generation of Dragon Slayers have been raised by a Dragon, been taught their abilities and have also had Dragon Lacrima implanted into their bodies.
