Traditional dragon
True dragon
Magical dragons, also known as traditional dragons for their connections to magical traditions, and sometimes known as true dragons,1 are members of a broad classification of the most powerful dragons, including arcane, divine, occult, and primal dragons.2 Some scholars have also associated at least one of these terms with the draconic families (which are sometimes known as septs3): the imperial, esoteric, outer, planar, skymetal, and primal dragon families.45
Magical dragons all share certain traits:
- a steady growth in power and intelligence over time36
- innate magic36
- apex physical strength and agility3
- efficient physiology3
- a predilection toward hoarding wealth6
Magical dragons typically have four legs, two wings, and a tail.3[citation needed]
