List of All 25 Dragon Type Pals and Where to Find Them

Dragon is the smallest element in Palworld and the one that hits hardest. Twenty-five Pals carry it — tied with Electric for the thinnest roster in the game — and they average more base attack than any of the other eight elements. This is the full list with every Dragon Pal's stats, elements and spawn count, plus what Dragon beats, the fastest Dragon mounts, all 10 Dragon alphas, the breeding combos, and how to farm Dragon Radiant Gems.

All 25 Dragon Type Pals

Twenty-five of the game's 288 Pals wear the Dragon element, and twenty of them are dual-element — only Elphidran, Quivern, Xenogard, Silvegis and Jetragon are pure Dragon. That matters more here than on any other element, because the second half decides what else can punish a Pal that already folds to Ice. The four Dragon/Water Pals are the softest targets in the element with three weaknesses each — Ice, Electric and Grass — while the three Dragon/Dark Pals are the strange ones that take extra damage from Dragon itself. The Attack column below is the higher of each Pal's melee and ranged base value, and Dragon leads the game at 115.8 average attack, with Fire second at 113.0 and Neutral last at 98.1.

196	Xenolord	Dark / Dragon	120	130	120	No wild spawns
202	Jetragon	Dragon	140	115	120	No wild spawns

Nine of the twenty-five never spawn in the open world at all. Six of those are alpha bosses you fight at a fixed point on the map, and the other three — Blazamut Ryu, Xenogard and Xenolord — come from raids, which is covered further down. Aegidron has the highest defence of any Dragon at 140 and ties for third-highest in the game, while Jormuntide and Jormuntide Ignis share the element's top attack at 150.

Dragon Type Strengths and Weaknesses

Dragon has the cleanest matchup profile on the Palworld type chart: it counters exactly one element and exactly one element counters it. What makes that narrow trade valuable is which element it beats. Dark is the biggest roster in the game at 70 Pals and it is where the hardest fights live, so a Dragon attacker is the answer to a whole chunk of the endgame. The cost is that Ice shuts your Dragon down just as hard, and 38 Pals carry Ice.

The third row is the trap. Bringing Jetragon to a Dragon alpha feels right and plays terribly — you get greyed numbers on every hit. Read Super Effective and Resistance Explained if you want the full chart, and remember the bonus keys off the move, not the Pal: a Fire Pal holding a Dragon skill still punishes Dark.

Best Dragon Pals for Combat

Dragon is the best combat element in the game and it is not especially close. Four of the fourteen S-tier combat Pals on our Palworld tier list are Dragon, and five of the fourteen S-tier overall. No other element puts that many names in the top bracket off a 25-Pal roster. The two Jormuntide forms tie the highest attack in the element at 150 and both are melee bruisers with 130 HP, so they are what you send at something you want dead in a hurry.

Pal	Tier	Class	Attack	HP	Defence	Why Bring It
Jormuntide	S	Melee	150	130	100	150 attack and 130 HP, the joint-highest attack in the element. Rides on water and covers Watering Lv 7 at base.
Jormuntide Ignis	S	Melee	150	130	100	Same 150/130 frame with Fire on the other half, so Grass targets take a bonus too. Kindling Lv 7 back home.
Blazamut Ryu	S	Melee	150	105	125	Learns Magna Crush, a 700-power melee move nothing else gets. Raid-only, and worth the slabs.
Shaolong	S	Ranged	135	140	120	The best all-round Pal in the game — 135 attack, 140 HP, S-tier mount and Watering Lv 8.
Jetragon	A	Ranged	140	115	120	140 attack plus the fastest ride in the game, so it fights and travels in one slot.
Orserk	A	Ranged	130	120	115	Dragon/Electric covers two matchups, and its partner skill stacks attack on whatever is beside you.
Eidrolon Ignis	A	Ranged	130	115	120	130 attack with Blazing Beam at 700 power, and it is the #5 fastest mount.
Xenolord	A	Ranged	120	130	120	Owns four exclusive Dragon skills including Omega Laser. Dark/Dragon, so bring Ice cover.
Aegidron	A	Ranged	125	105	140	140 defence is the highest in the element — the one you send into a fight you expect to lose slowly.
Relaxaurus Lux	A	Ranged	120	120	110	The earliest A-tier Dragon most players can breed, and its missile saddle unlocks at Tech Lv 48.

If you are only building one, make it Shaolong. It is the single S-tier Pal that is S-tier at everything — 135 attack, 140 HP, the #3 fastest mount and a Lv 8 base job — so it never sits on the bench. Blazamut Ryu out-damages it but costs a raid to obtain, and Aegidron trades 10 attack for 35 defence, which is the right swap when a fight is long rather than sharp.

The Strongest Dragon Attack Skills

Only 23 attack skills carry the Dragon element, the fewest of any element — Dark has 45 and Neutral 35. The upside is that the good ones are very good: five Dragon moves sit at the game's 700-power ceiling, all on a 30-second cooldown, and four of the five belong to exactly one Pal each. Power only compares inside a class here, so read the melee entries against melee and the shots against shots.

Meteorain is the one to chase. It is the only 700-power Dragon move that more than one Pal learns, and eight of them do, so it is the realistic way to put a capped Dragon hit on a team without owning a raid boss. If you would rather bolt Dragon damage onto a Pal that was not born with it, Dragon Skill Fruit: Dragon Meteor gets you 600 power on anything — the full set is in List of Dragon Skill Fruits.

Best Dragon Mounts

Twenty-four of the twenty-five Dragon Pals take a saddle — Orserk is the only one that does not — and Dragon owns the top of the speed charts outright. Jetragon is the fastest mount in the game at 3300 sprint, and ranks 3, 4 and 5 are Dragon too, so four of the five fastest rides in Palworld are Dragon. Ranks below are out of all 115 rideable Pals.

Pal	Rank	Mount Type	Sprint	Stamina	Saddle Tech Lv.
Jetragon	#1	Flying	3300	110	Lv. 79
Shaolong	#3	Flying	2800	100	Lv. 77
Eidrolon	#4	Flying	2750	130	Lv. 68
Eidrolon Ignis	#5	Flying	2750	130	Lv. 76
Jormuntide	#11	Water	1800	150	Lv. 40
Blazamut Ryu	#33	Ground	1200	190	Lv. 55
Xenogard	#40	Ground	1200	250	Lv. 41
Aegidron	#43	Ground	1100	300	Lv. 79
Astegon	#44	Flying	1100	300	Lv. 39
Chillet	#58	Ground	1050	100	Lv. 11
Chillet Ignis	#59	Ground	1050	100	Lv. 40
Silvegis	#65	Ground	1050	280	Lv. 60
Dinossom	#70	Ground	1030	130	Lv. 24
Dinossom Lux	#71	Ground	1030	130	Lv. 34
Azurobe	#78	Water	1000	160	Lv. 24
Azurobe Cryst	#79	Water	1000	160	Lv. 27
Jormuntide Ignis	#83	Ground	1000	150	Lv. 59
Relaxaurus	#87	Ground	1000	200	Lv. 45
Relaxaurus Lux	#88	Ground	1000	200	Lv. 48
Quivern	#92	Flying	950	220	Lv. 38
Quivern Botan	#93	Flying	950	220	Lv. 45
Elphidran	#104	Flying	800	130	Lv. 20
Elphidran Aqua	#105	Flying	800	130	Lv. 32
Xenolord	#111	Flying	660	300	Lv. 66

Speed is not the only axis. Aegidron and Astegon both carry 300 stamina against Jetragon's 110, which means they cross the map without a single landing while Jetragon is stopping to breathe. Early on, Chillet is the one that matters — its saddle unlocks at Tech Lv 11, decades before anything else on this list, and 1050 sprint is a huge upgrade over running. The full ladder is on the Palworld mount speed list and Best Flying Mounts.

Best Dragon Pals for Base Work

Dragon has no job of its own the way Electric owns power generation, but it does put four Pals at the Lv 8 ceiling in four different jobs, which is as many as any element manages. The catch is size: most Dragons are L or XL, so they eat base space and food, and a couple of them are better used as a mount than as a worker.

Pal	Best Job	Level	All Jobs	Why It Works
Aegidron	Mining	Lv. 8	Mining 8	The best miner in the element and one of the best in the game. XL, so plan the space.
Orserk	Generating Electricity	Lv. 8	Generating Electricity 8, Handiwork 3, Transporting 4	The highest electricity rating any Pal has — one Orserk staffs the biggest generator alone.
Shaolong	Watering	Lv. 8	Watering 8, Gathering 5	Watering Lv 8 plus Gathering Lv 5, on the best all-round Pal in the game.
Jetragon	Gathering	Lv. 8	Gathering 8	Gathering Lv 8 is real, but you will want it saddled and airborne instead.
Jormuntide	Watering	Lv. 7	Watering 7	The reliable farm waterer once you have beaten the level 55 alpha.
Jormuntide Ignis	Kindling	Lv. 7	Kindling 7	Kindling Lv 7 runs a full furnace line without help.
Blazamut Ryu	Mining	Lv. 7	Kindling 6, Mining 7	Mining Lv 7 and Kindling Lv 6 in one XL body — two stations, one Pal.
Astegon	Mining	Lv. 7	Handiwork 3, Mining 7	Mining Lv 7 with Handiwork Lv 3 as a bonus, and it flies.
Silvegis	Lumbering	Lv. 6	Lumbering 6	The only Lumbering Lv 6 in the element.
Eidrolon Ignis	Kindling	Lv. 6	Kindling 6, Transporting 6	Kindling Lv 6 and Transporting Lv 6 — the most useful double on the list.
Quivern Botan	Planting	Lv. 5	Planting 5, Handiwork 2, Gathering 4, Mining 3, Transporting 4	Covers five different jobs, more than any other Dragon.

Orserk is the standout and the reason to keep one even though it cannot be ridden: Generating Electricity Lv 8 is the highest rating any Pal has in any job, so it staffs a large generator by itself instead of the pair of Lv 4s you would otherwise need. Quivern Botan is the opposite pick — nothing it does is elite, but five job types on one body means it fills whatever gap your base has that day. Cross-check any of them on the Palworld work optimizer.

Where to Find Dragon Pals

There are 2,458 Dragon spawn points on the map across sixteen Pals, and they are lopsided: Dinossom Lux alone accounts for 573 of them, nearly a quarter of the element. The desert around Duneshelter is the densest Dragon ground in the game, and the Sakurajima and Feybreak clusters carry the rarer variants. Every row links straight to that Pal's pins on our Palworld interactive map.

Pal	Main Area	Share	Pins	Map
Dinossom Lux	Duneshelter	22.2%	573	Open map
Quivern	Land of Absolute Zero	12.5%	423	Open map
Dinossom	Eastern Wild Island	18.3%	262	Open map
Elphidran	Cinnamoth Forest	26.4%	261	Open map
Azurobe Cryst	Feybreak Shipwreck	17.4%	259	Open map
Azurobe	Sealed Realm of the Swift	18.1%	199	Open map
Chillet	Icy Weasel Hill	33.3%	117	Open map
Shaolong	—	—	63	Open map
Quivern Botan	Cherry Blossom Crossroads	57.6%	59	Open map
Elphidran Aqua	Sakurajima: West Coast	43.6%	55	Open map
Chillet Ignis	Moonflower Tower Entrance	69.2%	52	Open map
Relaxaurus	Ascetic Falls	15.8%	38	Open map
Orserk	—	—	33	Open map
Eidrolon Ignis	—	—	26	Open map
Jormuntide Ignis	Wildlands Floodgate	52.4%	21	Open map
Relaxaurus Lux	Hill Entrance	11.8%	17	Open map

Three of those rows have no single home region — Shaolong at 63 pins, Orserk at 33 and Eidrolon Ignis at 26 are scattered thinly enough that opening the map is the only sensible way to hunt them. At the other end, Chillet Ignis puts 69.2% of its spawns around the Moonflower Tower entrance and Quivern Botan puts 57.6% at Cherry Blossom Crossroads, which makes both of them a single trip rather than a search.

All 10 Dragon Alpha Bosses

Ten Dragon alphas stand on the map, and for six of them the alpha is the Pal — Jormuntide, Astegon, Silvegis, Eidrolon, Aegidron and Jetragon have no ordinary wild spawns, so the boss fight is the only way to catch one. They also spread across the whole level curve, which makes them a decent progression checklist on their own.

Alpha	Level	Elements	Attack	Location
Aegidron	Lv. 79	Dragon / Ground	125	Alpha location
Jetragon	Lv. 70	Dragon	140	Alpha location
Eidrolon	Lv. 69	Dragon / Dark	125	Alpha location
Silvegis	Lv. 62	Dragon	110	Alpha location
Jormuntide	Lv. 55	Dragon / Water	150	Alpha location
Astegon	Lv. 55	Dragon / Dark	125	Alpha location
Dinossom Lux	Lv. 47	Electric / Dragon	90	Alpha location
Azurobe	Lv. 40	Water / Dragon	100	Alpha location
Elphidran	Lv. 30	Dragon	80	Alpha location
Chillet	Lv. 11	Ice / Dragon	100	Alpha location

Chillet at level 11 is the earliest Dragon in the game and the one worth a detour — it is a mount at Tech Lv 11 and an easy fight. Jetragon at level 70 is the wall at the other end, and Aegidron at 79 is the highest-level Dragon alpha on the map. Bring Ice to all of them; the full route is in Alpha Pal Hunting Route.

The Three Dragons You Cannot Catch in the World

Three Dragon Pals have neither a wild spawn nor an alpha marker. Two are Summoning Altar raids that need slab fragments assembled into a slab, and the third turns up at meteorite crash sites — which is also the only reliable way to farm Meteorite Fragment.

Pal	Elements	How to Get It	Guide
Blazamut Ryu	Dragon / Fire	Summoning Altar raid — offer Blazamut Ryu Slab, built from 4 fragments, for a Lv 55 fight	How to Get Blazamut Ryu
Xenolord	Dark / Dragon	Summoning Altar raid — offer Xenolord Slab, built from 4 fragments, for a Lv 65 fight	How to Get Xenolord
Xenogard	Dragon	Spawns at meteorite crash sites; capture one and breed it after that	Meteorite Event Guide

Xenogard is the easiest of the three by a wide margin and the one people miss. It has 130 defence, the second-highest in the element, its saddle only wants Tech Lv 41, and it drops 5–12 Meteorite Fragment per kill. Once you own one, it breeds true with itself, so a single capture solves it permanently.

Dragon Eggs and Breeding

Eggs are colour-coded by element, so a Dragon Egg always hatches something off this list. Dragon is the thinnest colour in the wild nest pools at 13 Pals, which means nest-running for a Dragon is a genuinely bad rate — but the Huge Dragon Egg roster is the largest of the ten Huge egg colours at 15 Pals, so when one does drop it is usually worth the incubator slot. Breeding is the better route for almost everything here.

Parent A	Parent B	Child	Child Element
Relaxaurus	Sparkit	Relaxaurus Lux	Dragon / Electric
Elphidran	Surfent	Elphidran Aqua	Dragon / Water
Dinossom	Rayhound	Dinossom Lux	Electric / Dragon
Jormuntide	Blazehowl	Jormuntide Ignis	Dragon / Fire
Chillet	Arsox	Chillet Ignis	Fire / Dragon
Quivern	Lullu	Quivern Botan	Dragon / Grass
Azurobe	Frostplume	Azurobe Cryst	Ice / Dragon
Eidrolon	Suzaku	Eidrolon Ignis	Dragon / Fire

Those eight are exclusive combos — the pairing overrides the normal breeding maths, so it produces that child and nothing else. Chillet plus Arsox is the cheapest one on the list and both parents are low-level catches, which makes Chillet Ignis an early Dragon almost anyone can get. Six Dragons refuse to be bred from anything but themselves: Orserk, Xenogard, Blazamut Ryu, Shaolong, Jetragon, Xenolord — you have to obtain one first, then pair it with a second of its own species. Run any other pairing through the Palworld breeding calculator first.

How to Farm Dragon Radiant Gems

Dragon Radiant Gem is what awakening a Dragon Pal costs, and the maths is steep: 50 gems plus 10 World Tree Holy Water make one Dragon Awakening Crystal. Only Dragon Pals drop the gem, every one of them at a 100% rate, so the whole problem is finding a Dragon you can kill repeatedly. Spawn count decides that, not drop rate.

Pal	Gems per Kill	Rate	Spawn Pins	Best Area	Map
Quivern	10–20	100%	423	Land of Absolute Zero · 12.5%	Open map
Elphidran	10–20	100%	261	Cinnamoth Forest · 26.4%	Open map
Quivern Botan	10–20	100%	59	Cherry Blossom Crossroads · 57.6%	Open map
Elphidran Aqua	10–20	100%	55	Sakurajima: West Coast · 43.6%	Open map
Relaxaurus	10–20	100%	38	Ascetic Falls · 15.8%	Open map
Orserk	10–20	100%	33	—	Open map
Jormuntide Ignis	10–20	100%	21	Wildlands Floodgate · 52.4%	Open map
Relaxaurus Lux	10–20	100%	17	Hill Entrance · 11.8%	Open map

Quivern is the farm. 423 pins is more than triple any other gem source you can actually find in the field, it drops the same 10–20 as everything else, and its cluster in the Land of Absolute Zero is dense enough to loop. Elphidran at 261 pins in Cinnamoth Forest is the low-level alternative if the snowfields are still out of reach. Six more Dragons drop the gem as alphas — Jormuntide, Astegon, Silvegis, Eidrolon, Aegidron and Blazamut Ryu — but an alpha is one kill per respawn, so they are a bonus rather than a route. Expeditions pay out too: the World Tree's Forbidden Area returns 2–5 gems on a 120-minute run. Other elements work the same way, and they are all in How to Farm Radiant Gems.

Gear That Boosts Dragon Damage

Two sets of accessories exist for this element and they point in opposite directions. The whistles and batons go on the Pal fighting beside you and raise the Dragon damage it deals; the rings go on you and cut the Dragon damage you take. If you are building a Dragon team, the baton is the single biggest upgrade on the list because it stacks an attack bonus on top of the element bonus.

Item	Slot	Effect	Materials
Divine Dragon's Baton	Pal accessory	Raises the Pal's attack and significantly boosts its Dragon damage	Refined Ingot ×20, Polymer ×20, Pure Quartz ×20, Ancient Civilization Core ×5
Jetragon's Talisman	Pal accessory	Raises the Pal's defence and significantly boosts its Dragon damage	Refined Ingot ×20, Leather ×30, High Quality Pal Oil ×30, Ancient Civilization Parts ×10
Dragon Support Whistle	Pal accessory	Slightly raises the Pal's Dragon damage	Ingot ×20, Horn ×20, Pure Quartz ×20, Ancient Civilization Parts ×2
Dragon Support Whistle +1	Pal accessory	Raises the Pal's Dragon damage	Upgrade of the base version
Dragon Support Whistle +2	Pal accessory	Greatly raises the Pal's Dragon damage	Upgrade of the base version
Ring of Dragon Resistance	Player accessory	Slightly reduces incoming Dragon damage	Ingot ×20, Bone ×20, Pure Quartz ×20, Paldium Fragment ×30
Ring of Dragon Resistance +1	Player accessory	Reduces incoming Dragon damage	Upgrade of the base version
Ring of Dragon Resistance +2	Player accessory	Greatly reduces incoming Dragon damage	Upgrade of the base version

Divine Dragon's Baton is the one to build. It wants 5 Ancient Civilization Cores on top of the ingots and quartz, which puts it behind a few tower bosses, but attack plus Dragon boost on the same slot beats anything the plain whistles do. The ring line matters in exactly two places — Blazamut Ryu and Xenolord raids, where almost everything coming at you is Dragon damage. Both lines are listed with the rest on the Palworld accessories list.

Summary

Twenty-five Pals carry Dragon, tied with Electric for the smallest roster in the game, and the element trades breadth for ceiling: highest average attack of the nine, four of the fourteen S-tier combat Pals, four of the five fastest mounts, and both S-tier support Pals. It counters Dark and only Dark, and Ice counters it and only Ice. Shaolong is the best single pick if you are building one, Chillet is the earliest at a level 11 alpha, Quivern with its 423 pins is where you farm Dragon Radiant Gem, and Jetragon at level 70 is the mount everything else is measured against.
