## Other Dragons

### Spectre Dragons

The unnamed Spectre Dragons are twin infant Dragons looked after by Issei and the others, originally as a single egg given by the former Dragon King Tannin. It was first mentioned in Volume 9 when Tannin asked Issei and the others to look after a rare ***Spectre Dragon*** egg, as the air in the Underworld was not suited for hatching it, to which they agreed. The egg was later delivered by Crom Cruach, much to everyone's surprise. The egg was also seen in Volume 9, being looked after by Ophis.

The hatched Spectre Dragons were seen in True Volume 3, each of which were around Ophis and Megumi respectively, at the Grigori establishment, after Ophis sensed the mixed energies of hers, and Megumi's. They were described by Issei as very beautiful, snake-like dragons which were said to be quite small compared to the egg, with scales of the seven colors of the rainbow, also earning them the name as the "*Rainbow Dragons*".
