===Dragon King===
The dragons in Skylanders are evidently ruled by a King who resides in the realm of Dragon's Peak, a place considered special to dragons because whichever sits on the Dragon's Throne becomes the new king. Ramses is the current Dragon King, having ruled over the lands with peace and harmony for centuries.

====Dragon Politics of Dragon's Peak====
In the past, the dragons used to vote for their leaders, but their political system became so complex that no one could understand it. Even the act of voting became difficult for most dragons, and those who wanted to rule had to campaign and make speeches, a system that nobody in particular liked - so they finally just said, forget it. Whoever sits on the throne is King. Luckily for the dragons, the first to do so was Ramses. Not only was he the quickest to sit down, but he happened to also be the most qualified to lead.<ref>''Skylanders: Giants'' Official Strategy Guide - Q&A, page 245</ref>
 
===Rite of Passage===
According to Spyro, all dragons must take the paths of [[Fire]] or [[Water|Ice]] and Brains or Brawn at the Dragon Temple before they reach adulthood, representative of their personalities.

World: Skylands
Appears in: Skylanders franchise

Dragons are one of the native species of Skylands. They come in all shapes and sizes and are closely connected to the elements. Younger dragons are highly adaptive to their surroundings, making the way they are raised a key factor in determining their adult forms, powers, and personalities. Many dragons also tend to be pranksters.[1] It is mentioned in many of the dragons' biographies that they tend to be outsiders, but despite being shunned by those around them, they possess a strong sense of responsibility or purpose.

Abilities

Although the known trait for dragons is their ability to breathe fire, each dragon Skylander puts their own elemental twist on this talent.[2] Dragons live for hundreds of years, as evidenced by Ramses, who ruled over his land for centuries and is still alive to this day. Dragons possess powerful magic, which makes them immune to mind control, and this power can even be used to reverse the power of the rogue Ancient, Brain.

Purple Dragons, like Spyro and Malefor, are a rare species of dragon associated with the Magic element, which allows them to harness the power of the other elements. There are also many other species of dragons, such as Water Dragons, Snow Dragons, Bone Dragons, and many more, each with their own unique abilities.

Realms

One of the notable realms inhabited by dragons is called Dragon's Peak, also known as the Island of Scalos, where the oldest and largest of their kind reside. Another dragon realm is the Dragon Temple, far above the mainlands of Skylands, where according to Spyro all the dragons in Skylands live in "dubious" harmony with the Sheep.

Since few dragons other than the Skylanders are encountered elsewhere, dragons may very well be one of the rarest species in all of Skylands.

Culture

Dragon King

The dragons in Skylanders are evidently ruled by a King who resides in the realm of Dragon's Peak, a place considered special to dragons because whichever sits on the Dragon's Throne becomes the new king. Ramses is the current Dragon King, having ruled over the lands with peace and harmony for centuries. Some feared that Vathek, an Undead dragon and Ramses's evil brother, may one day try to steal the throne. However, when Vathek eventually claimed the throne himself and ruled as king of Dragon's Peak, he was soon thwarted by the Skylanders.

Malefor also carries the title of Undead Dragon King; however, it is unknown if it is related to the throne of Scalos.

Dragon Politics of Dragon's Peak

In the past, the dragons used to vote for their leaders, but their political system became so complex that no one could understand it. Even the act of voting became difficult for most dragons, and those who wanted to rule had to campaign and make speeches, a system that nobody in particular liked - so they finally just said, forget it. Whoever sits on the throne is King. Luckily for the dragons, the first to do so was Ramses. Not only was he the quickest to sit down, but he happened to also be the most qualified to lead.[3]

Rite of Passage

According to Spyro, all dragons must take the paths of Fire or Ice and Brains or Brawn at the Dragon Temple before they reach adulthood, representative of their personalities.
