Dragons

Throughout the story, dragons have often been the greatest threat, rivals, and allies to the protagonist, due in part to their strong presence within the Great Elroe Labyrinth. It is suspected that there are four main varieties of dragons, each based on the four primary elements wind, water, fire, and earth. It has been implied that the respective power of the species may follow a similar order. Dragons aligned to other attributes such as light or ice are also known, although they might be rarer than the basic elements.

Earth dragons in particular have had a great impact in the story due to their presence in the Bottom and Lower strata of the Great Elroe Labyrinth. Most of our knowledge on wyrm evolution and skills is from the fire wyrms of the Middle Stratum.

Introduction
All dragons are born as wyrms, and only become full dragons after evolving several times. Becoming a dragon results in the creation of a new species, of which the individual is the only member: appraisal of Feirune gives her species as Light Dragon Feirune, despite receiving her name from Shun.

Although wyrms are considered to be sub-dragons, some can be just as strong as their evolved relatives.

Skills
「Fire Wyrm LV10」」►「Fire Dragon LV10」►「???」

「Dragon Scales LV10」►「Imperial Scales LV10」►「Divine Scales LV10」

All wyrms have a Wyrm skill, and with the exception of Feirune, all dragons have a Dragon skill.

As the Fire Wyrm skill increases in level, it grants new abilities:
 * Level 1: Fireball Breath
 * Level 2: Heat Wrap
 * Level 3: Life Exchange. Recovers HP by consuming SP; Dragon Scales
 * Level 4: Flame Breath. Spews flames over a wide range.
 * Level 8: Flame Wrap. Wreathes the user in an intense blaze, improving physical abilities.

Before level 10, Light Wyrm grants the Humanification ability, which gives the user a human body to match their mind.

The Dragon Scales skill is awarded by evolution to Catfish and upgraded to Imperial Scales in Gunesohka. The only known holder of Divine Scales is Araba at level 32.

The Dragon Scales skill causes scales to grow over the creature's body, increasing its defense and resistance abilities by directly interfering with the composition of magic. . Imperial Scales is simply a stronger version of the same effect.
