Dragons are a highly advanced alien race that have settled on Avalice.
Appearance
The Dragons in Freedom Planet are based on the Dragons from East-Aisan Mythology, looking like the commonly depicted snake-like Dragons with four legs, horns on their heads and mustache-like whiskers. However, sometime before they were stranded on Avalice, they became anthropomorphic and smaller in height, but still slightly taller than the average Avalician and retaining the long tails, whiskers and horns.
Earth Dragons
Earth Dragons are shown to have brown bodies and golden horns. They have little variation in appearance.

Attributes
The Dragons not only pocess high physical power and intelligence, but also stated to be faster than the average Avalician. Due totheir chimera-like nature, they are capable of mix-breeding with other species, allowing them to inherit various animal traits. For example, Water Dragons have fish-like traits, such as fins that allow them to breathe underwater and swim more efficiently.
Due to the century-long breeding with the Avalicians, the present day Dragons have lost many of the visual traits the Ancient Dragons had, while still retaining the horns, whiskers and/or claws. Genetic defects at birth have also occurred - for instance, Lilac's fin ears are undeveloped, leaving her mostly deaf and in need of hearing aids. She is also incapable of breathing underwater, though she is still able to swim and hold her breath for an extended period of time (longer than Carol & Milla).
