Overview
The Dragon is a massive flying boss creature and variant of the Wyvern species. It excels in combat with high damage output and extreme resistance to most forms of damage. Players tame it primarily for aerial dominance and raiding, where its ability to destroy structures makes it a top-tier offensive mount. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

TamingOpen calculator
More about taming the Dragon
The Dragon must be tamed via knockout using ranged weapons. The most effective food is Raw Prime Fish Meat, providing the highest affinity. Raw Mutton also works nearly as well if Prime Fish Meat is unavailable. Use Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts to sedate it, and immobilize with a Chain Bola to reduce movement. Taming takes around 15 minutes with optimal settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
The Dragon is highly resistant to Mining Drill Harvest, taking -100% damage, making it immune to that damage type. It is weak to Spike Wall attacks, which deal +400% damage, and to Melee DmgMetal RaidDino, which hits for +55%. Explosions and Instant HurtDinos also exploit its vulnerabilities. Focus on Health and Melee Damage for optimal performance.
Can break Thatch, Wood, and Stone. Build at least in Metal.
