Dragon

are considered the pinnacle of Phantasmal Species. They have members in all three classes of Phantasmal Species, and they are considered to be the greatest species within each corresponding class. 
Due to there being Magical, Phantasmal, and Divine class Dragons, they have been involved with mankind since before the Age of Gods, and left many legends in the field of Thaumaturgy due to having freely intermixed with humans in the past.
==Attributes==
 
Dragons are creatures that generate Magical Energy merely by breathing, their lungs acting as spiritual worlds, and they possess traits from other types of monsters. It is possible for a human to have the blood of a Dragon, whether induced artificially like King Arthur or from having Mixed-Blood like Elizabeth Báthory. Simply having their blood within them grants humans high level Magic Resistance able to easily dispel Magecraft from the Age of Gods, and King Arthur has a Magic Core that far surpasses the Magic Circuits of humans. 
Differing from the Magic Circuits of regular humans, Artoria Pendragon and Siegfried when he was alive have a granted by their Dragon blood. Its capacity is far greater than any human can achieve. While a Magus' body can be considered a machine which creates Magical Energy, Artoria's Magic Core acts as a factory which creates Magical Energy.
Gray also gets a Dragon Magic Core after Artoria is summoned as Saber in the Fifth Holy Grail War, with the summoning affecting Gray's body due to her nature, and turning her more into a perfect clone of Artoria.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 10: case. Grand Resolution (Lower) 
Dragons and humans are generally incompatible with each other, but, while Dragons are creatures that devour humans by simply existing,Fate/EXTRA CCC - Gilgamesh Route - Chapter 5: Iron Maiden Princess conflicts between them are for the most part caused by humans taking action first in order to gain something. Those who attack humans first would generally be looked down upon.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Gilgamesh Route - Chapter 5: Iron Maiden Princess - Elizabeth Bathory's Venus Statue 
Dragons possess language referred to as that can facilitate Magecraft like the construction of Golems, or even a labyrinth that functions as a Magical Workshop if they use their stockpiled treasures, though Gilgamesh notes that the creator Dragon being knowledgeable enough to do this is a praiseworthy but rare sight.Fate/Grand Order - Gilgamesh Interlude III: Law of Heaven Dragons have an inherent ability to sense the destiny of others by looking at them, and use this skill to choose their mates.Fate/Grand Order - Melusine's Valentine's Day scene
Dragons are essentially giant lumps of Magical Energy, and as such can absorb other sources of Magical Energy to grow stronger. The Elder Dragon encounter by Chaldea Security Organization with Gilgamesh was considered to have more Magical Energy than an A-rank Servant and may possess more power then the Evil Dragon Fafnir, who is considered the "ultimate dragon" by Martha.Fate/Grand Order - Orleans: Section 6 One Thing After Another Dragons can even consume and absorb other Dragons to drastically raise their power and their size, enough that they are able to support the manifestation of a Singularity akin to a Holy Grail. However, cannibalistic Dragons are considered to be very rare, and though they are powerful such Dragons possess little intelligence.Fate/Grand Order - Georgios Georgios Interlude - St. George
Dragons each have an attribute, and their strongest weapon, , capitalizes upon it by using their breath to spread it excessively over the wide area of effect as a torrent of Mana. Red Dragons carry flame, blue Dragons carry thunder, black Dragons carry acid, and Elizabeth Bathory carries soundwaves. There are also white Dragons, gold Dragons, silver Dragons and green Dragons, however it is unknown what kinds of breaths they can produce. The damage value, according to a certain rulebook, is the same as the constitution value of the Dragon. Due to having a constitution value which transcends that of humans by far, it is not unreasonable to think of a single Dragon being able to destroy a whole country when equally spreading the damage from its breath throughout a whole army.
Dragons can apparently see the "lines of fate", and at least some like Typhon consider that to mean there is no true free will, as they go where the lines tell them to be cast and do what they are told. Fate/Grand Order - Event: Castle of White Sky, Castle of Black Night - Chapter 18: Criminal, Sinful, Evil
There are different types, the western Dragons being considered demons and the strongest of the Phantasmal Species, and being treated as divine existences and invincible beings that do not even need to fight. The Chinese Dragons do contain a rough spot, a below their chins, that when touched, causes them to rage and devastate the earth with their rampaging power. It shows that even such perfect existences also display a deplorable side. 
Of the many Dragons, there exist a type known as . True Dragons are more akin to concepts than actual creatures due to being born of an abundance of a particular Human idea, such as Fafnir embodying Greed and Vritra embodying Drought. Considered both great lizards and formless demons all at once, defeating a True Dragon requires a person to commit all of one's being and ability to it; if a person can't pull up every single bit of strength built up in their life, the True Dragon will win and kill them. However, although a Dragon Slayer remembers killing their Dragon, they will struggle to remember how they exactly succeeded. Both Sigurd and Siegfried, when asked as to how they killed their Dragons, struggle to remember how and merely state that they were desperate to survive and forget anything else. For to face a Dragon is akin to telling the story of your whole life; describing the broad strokes is easy, but the finer details are hard to grasp.Fate/Grand Order - Christmas 2020: The Glorious Path to Santa Claus ~The Sealed Christmas Present~" 
Deinos are considered at least part-Dragons.Fate/Grand Order - Deinos unit traits. Whether the Dinosaurs of Proper Human History are also considered part-Dragons is unknown.
The Dragon of Albion was the last in the world. Modern Dragons are just animals, the result of the left behind by Dragons who emigrated to the Reverse Side of the World, and have adapted the Dragons' lifestyle while maintaining their own way of life and their own . Pureblood Dragons no longer exist in the world, besides Albion's corpse that is.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain - Part 2 Prologue Servants, the Heroic Spirits of the Human History, are by themselves considered to be super existences. Amongst them, there are those whose Saint Graph are on different level, and the ones who have the highest levels even amongst the most exceptional ones are called Grand Servants. By those standards, Da Vinci states that Albion would be something like a Grand Class among all exceptional Dragons. Unlike Gods and Deities whose existence were given shape or even birth upon being observed or believed by others, Albion is a super existence that is alive since the very beginning of the world, a transcendental life form that possesses over 4.6 billion years of data within itself.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain - Section 18
The Dragon Typhon, although not quite a Dragon Kind, can be considered a early progenitor of Western Dragons and purely a monster-shaped phenomenon that he can be classified as a Pure-Blooded Dragon like the Dragon of Albion. Typhon is God-killing concept first and foremost, a Dragon second. The Dragon (phenomenon) that exists to deliver judgement to the Gods. The Dragon (mechanism) that exists to guide others to commit sins. The Father of Monsters, similar to Echidna and Tiamat, and the start of the family tree that includes the Nemean Lion, the Colchis Dragon, Ladon, the Gorgon sisters, and some Giants. A monster similar to the Machine Gods, that through contact with Earth's environment was given the essence, shape, and characteristics of a Dragon. Amongst the greatest and most famous of Divine Beasts, Typhon is "more super weaponish" than a living being and is still capable of interfering with the real world, his corpse still sealed even into the modern day beneath . Fate/Grand Order - Event: Castle of White Sky, Castle of Black Night - Chapter 17
In the British Lostbelt, there also exists a Dragon-shaped variant of the Moss called , created by Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya in the shape of Albion as "What once was" using the magical elements left by Albion's rotting flesh that had turned into a lake of the most foul substance in the Lostbelt, the same substance as Moss, along with 8,000 years worth of grudges of the northern Fairies massacred in the Summer War at the same place, brimming with hatred for Fairies. The Magical Energy of this Moss Dragon was so great that it exceeded that of the Calamity of Norwich.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain, Section 18
The is a unique creature found only in the Seventh Labyrinth of Caubac Alcatraz. Made using Dragon Fangs and Bones, it is a Golem that resembles a Dragon that, although considered a fake member of Dragon Kind, boasts similar incredible power to the Dragons found in legends all around the world. Its entire body is endowed with overflowing Magical Energy, its physical characteristics are similar to a snake, reptile, and bat mixed together and its four strong legs are covered by scales with the hardness of heavy metal armor. It is a great beast with a core resembling a Magical Energy powered nuclear reactor. In addition, its fiery Flash Breath is almost-instantly deadly, its magical resistance is considered extremely high, its limbs are stated to be indestructible, and its Magic Core can be used as a interim core for a Heroic Spirit.Fate/Labyrinth - Monster Encyclopedia, Translations by You
Humans and other species such as Giants and Homunculi are capable of turning into Dragons through different methods such as the Evil Dragon Phenomenon, which transforms those who exhibit overwhelming greed into a Fafnir dragon.Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky SilverFate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Gotterdammerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century, Chapter 2 Vortigern became a Dragon by drinking the blood of the White Dragon of Britain, lost his humanity, and become the very will and avatar of Britain to fight against King Arthur. Kiyohime transformed into a fire-breathing serpent over being despair, grief and resentment over being betrayed by Anchin. However, this does not mean she has inherited the blood of a dragon. Kiyohime cannot recall having ever mixed with the blood of dragons, so such an event could only have been a "wild delusion born of deep yearning for her beloved." The transformation was the result of pure obsession that "can be considered a representation of her sheer tenacity" and a "relentless, mistakenly-held obsession towards the man who lied to her."Fate/Grand Order material II - Kiyohime, p.156-161, translated by You at Beast's Lair.
