Igneel

==Summary==
Igneel was a Dragon known as the Fire Dragon and the Fire Dragon King, and was the father of Ignia and foster father of Natsu Dragneel. He stayed hidden within Natsu in order to eventually fight against Acnologia, the battle in which he would lose his life. He, along with four other Dragons, sealed his soul inside his Slayer foster child's body with the Dragon Soul Technique for several reasons: one was to prevent Natsu from turning into a Dragon like Acnologia by creating antibodies to prevent the Dragonization process; and the other was to allow Igneel's wounded soul time to heal by absorbing Ethernano so that he could reemerge and defeat Acnologia once and for all, like the other Dragons planned to do. He was later killed by Acnologia in their fight during the Tartaros Arc.

Weaknesses: Weak to Dragon Slayer Magic. Igneel should suffer from motion sickness as a result of being a Dragon, which causes him to become severely nauseous while riding transportation. Igneel cannot eat the fire created from his own Dragon Slayer Magic to replenish his stamina.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic: Igneel's specialized Dragon Slayer Magic that revolves around the use of fire; he taught this Magic to Natsu. Igneel uses his Magic in the same manner as Natsu: for melee purposes, he shoots out large breaths of fire to impede or damage his opponent. He relies heavily on melee combat, using his fire to empower his strikes. This fire should be capable of burning magic akin to Natsu and Atlas Flames Magic.
*Fire Dragon's Roar: Similar to other Dragons and Dragon Slayers, Igneel has shown the ability to use his element in the form of an attack coming from his mouth. In Igneel's case, the attack takes the form of a large-scale destructive fire breath attack capable of destroying the surrounding area in a massive explosion.
*Fire Dragon's Iron Fist: Igneel hits the enemy with his fist cloaked with flames; this attack is powerful enough to blow even the Dragon King, Acnologia, away.
*Fire Dragon's Claw: Igneel ignites his feet in flames, thereby increasing the power of his kicks.

Dragon Soul Technique: Igneel uses this ability to conceal his soul and Magic Power inside the body of his foster son Natsu, which preserves his life force as well as provides antibodies for the Dragon Slayer to prevent the process of Dragonification. This ability was also used for Igneel to be able to travel 400 years into the present time.
