| Description = [[:category:Dragons|Dragons]], [[:category:Wyverns|wyverns]] and [[:category:Wyrms|wyrms]] are often confused by adventurers young and old. Typically slightly larger than most wild wyverns, but smaller than wyrms, dragons are currently only known to naturally inhabit three areas of [[Vana'diel]] - one in the Middle Lands and two in the Near East – with those located in the Near East being of the more dangerous Dahak subspecies. Unlike their wyvern and wyrm cousins, dragons have a tendency to behave like members of the lizard family, such as detecting by sound, and use area attacks that neither [[:category:Wyverns|wyverns]] nor [[:category:Wyrms|wyrms]] use.

Not surprisingly, [[Dragon Scales]], [[Dragon Heart]]s and [[Dragon Meat]] can be obtained from the defeated animal. Also not surprising is the value of these items, given the rarity of the animal they derive from. The scales can be used in armor, while the [[Dragon Blood|dragon's blood]] can be extracted from the heart and used in a number of synthesis recipes. The meat is a real delicacy, and in the hands of a talented chef, can be prepared in a number of scrumptious ways.

==Historical Background==
:::''Taken from [[:Wikipedia:Dragon|Wikipedia]]''
<blockquote>The various figures now called dragons probably have no single origin, but were spontaneously envisioned in nearly every different culture around the world, based loosely on the appearance of a snake and/or large bird of prey and possibly fossilized dinosaur and Tertiary mammal megafauna remains. 

They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing long, typically scaly, bodies; dragons are almost always portrayed as having large eyes, a feature that is the origin for the word for dragon in many cultures, and is often (but not always) portrayed with wings and a fiery breath 

Although dragons (or dragon-like creatures) occur commonly in legends around the world, different cultures have perceived them differently. Chinese dragons (Simplified Chinese: 龙; Traditional Chinese: 龍; pinyin: lóng), and Eastern dragons generally, are usually seen as benevolent, whereas European dragons are usually malevolent (there are of course exceptions to these rules). Malevolent dragons also occur in Persian mythology and other cultures. 

Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many Eastern and Native American cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and rivers. In some cultures, they are said to be capable of human speech.</blockquote>

The Final Fantasy XI dragon is more like an asian dragon. They are long serpent like creatures which possess the scales of a carp, horns of a deer, feet of an eagle, the body of a snake, a feathery mane, large eyes, and can be holding a pearl to control lightning. They usually have no wings. Imperial dragons that were sewn on to silk had five claws (for a king), or four for a prince, or three for courtiers of a lower ranking. The dragons were bringers of rain and lived in and governed bodies of water (e.g lakes, rivers, oceans, or seas). Asian dragons were benevolent, but bossy.
