Dragons are fire-breathing Megabeasts. Cannot fly. Immune to magma (and is not harmed by being immersed in it), and presumably immune to fire. Breathes out a jet of "dragonfire", which can still injure things that are immune to normal fire (dragonfire is, however, a blockable attack if its victim is using a shield). Some creatures are immune to dragonfire (needs confirmation).
Defense Strategies
As the above line states, Dragonfire can be blocked if the victim is using a shield, and it often will be. Dragons are also massively powerful in melee combat, so they can be hard to take down without a good military. Possibly the best defense is to use piercing weapons like crossbows and especially spears and hope you get lucky and hit a vital organ which can bring it down immediately.
Domestication
Irregularities, Bugs, and Future Plans
Dragons have been observed to occasionally wear some armour (breastplates, greaves, leggings and boots). This armor is specified as "Large [metal][armor type]" and gives the dragon the same protection as any other species might get from it. It is possible to equip Dragons, Hydras and Bronze Colossi with any armor type in the arena.
