Dragon Types from Fiction

Dracos Nobilis (from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett)

These dragons only exist if you believe in them. Though there have been individual occurrences of these dragons appearing, the main group of these dragons is to be found at Wyrmberg. It has been suggested that these dragons evolved from swamp dragons, and retreated to the imagination when they got to the point where reality wouldn't support them anymore.

Great Wyrms (from the Deverry series by Katharine Kerr)

The great wyrms were once hunted by humans, but after the surviving dragons fled, the humans forgot about them. These dragons are cold blooded, and as such, live near a heat source, such as a underground volcanic caves, so that they don't freeze during winter. The dragons always move out before a volcanic eruption, probably because their sensitive hearing allows them to hear that the volcano is close to erupting. The name of a great wyrm holds the power to bind it to the users will.

Gylarians (from the 'Dragon of the Valkyr' comics by Steve Simshauser)

Gylarians are a race of space-faring dragons. The 'Dragon of the Valkyr' comics were published by RAK Comics Group (a division of R.A.K. Graphics, of Akron, Ohio).

Pernese Dragons (from the Pern books by Anne McCaffrey)

These dragons have been genetically engineered from a small flying creature that looks like a dragon. They were created to protect the people of Pern from a threat called thread. The Pernese are a group of colonists from earth. Dragons choose a rider just after they hatch, and are born knowing their name. All dragon names end in 'th'. Gold and green dragons are female. Bronze, brown and blue dragons are male. There was a white dragon once, but he was an exception to the rule.

The dragons can breath fire and teleport from between places and times. The place that they go to during teleporting is called between.

Swamp Dragons (from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett)

Swamp dragons are small and live in swamps. When they get excited, angry or frightened explosive gas builds up inside them, and sometimes they explode. This is a good survival trait for the species as a whole. Any predator that has had a swamp dragon blow up in front of it is likely to avoid them. Sadly it is a poor survival trait for the individual swamp dragon.

The Dragons of the Dragon Paths (from 'The Dragon Paths' by Frena Bloomfield)

These dragons call people to them telepathically. They want company; someone to talk to about the world. They remember a lost world that they use to live in. They long to return there, but if they leave where they are they will spread plague and destruction in their wake. They are only kept at rest by a guardian - someone who can listen to their minds without going mad. In 'The Dragon Paths' the old guardian has died, and a new one must be found.

Quicksilver Dragons (from 'The Death Gate Cycle' by Weis and Hickman)

Quicksilver dragons live in the High Realms of Arianus. These dragons are unpredictable, and intelligent. They have long, slender bodies, no wings, and silver skin. Despite the lack of wings, they fly well.

Wyrmberg Dragons (from the Discworld books by Terry Prachett)

The dragons of Wyrmberg are created from the imagination. Wyrmberg is an up-side-down mountain that exists in an area of high magic, which is why dragons can pass from the imagination into existence. The further away from Wyrmberg the dragons go, the more translucent (and less 'real') they get.
