Dragon

**Dragon** is an enemy and category of boss in *Elden Ring*.

## Overview

Paltry, mortal descendants of the Ancient Dragons who once ruled the Lands Between. They did not inherit their ancestors' command over lightning, and are instead vulnerable to it. They typically possess large wings in the place of front limbs. They have lost the stone scales possessed by their ancient kin, which can now be used to cause them mortal harm.

Dragons are the offspring of Greyoll, a vast Dragon who dwarfed all who stood before her. Greyoll, along with some of her children, escaped the Scarlet Rot by settling on the plateau in the north of Caelid, which became known as Greyoll's Dragonbarrow. However, Greyoll appears to have succumbed to the rot, and can no longer take flight.

Dragons became the prey of hunters. Their hearts in particular were sought after by those who practiced Dragon Communion, who gained overwhelming power by consuming them. Those who partook in Dragon Communion would eventually become Magma Wyrms, cursed to crawl the earth upon their bellies.

* Flying Dragon
* Glintstone Dragon

### Variant Description

Dragons who settled in northern Caelid with their mother, Greyoll. They surround the colossal Elder Dragon, who is now too decrepit to fight.

There are seven red-eyed Flying Dragons surrounding Greyoll. Greyoll will lose 20% of her health with each Dragon killed, meaning that killing five will cause Greyoll to die.
