Biography

Past

At some point, the Dark Dragon was born of a nation, but no one knows who he is or where he came from, other than he has great dark magic. He also recruited Councilor Chang to be part of his plans for world domination. In 1975, The Dark Dragon battled Lao Shi, the Chinese Dragon, but was defeated by him. This made Lao Shi the first dragon to ever defeat The Dark Dragon.

Present

The Dark Dragon appeared twice in the first season, attempting to offer a deal to Lao Shi's grandson, Jake Long, in whom he seems to have an interest. It is a chance to join him in conquering the universe. However, Jake refuses and defeats him with help from the Australian Dragon named Fred Nerk.

He is shown to be in league with Councillor Chang, a member of the Dragon Council and the one responsible for his battle with Lao Shi in 1975.

The Dark Dragon reappears in the second season when Chang was intending on resurrecting him. In the end, she did succeed in resurrecting him and infusing the Dragon of Darkness with more dark powers. He then kidnaps Lao Shi, to blackmail him into joining him and his minions. However, Jake defeats him with help from his friends and family, and he is seemingly killed when he gets crushed by rocks. However, he survives the crash, and he grabs Jake with his tail, hoping to take his archenemy with him through the portal. In the process, Rose cuts the tip off the Dark Dragon's tail, which gives Jake and Rose the chance to escape. However, the Dark Dragon was not so lucky and remains trapped in another dimension for 1,000 years.

Trivia

• Dark Dragon was declared the most evil being in the Magical World while The Huntsman was declared number #4.
  • Despite this, the Dark Dragon has an excuse for his behavior as opposed to the Huntsman, as the magical creatures were forced into hiding by the humans.
  • He resembles Maleficent's dragon form from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, as well as the Prince Aragon's dragon form from Danny Phantom and Malchior from Teen Titans.
• The Dark Dragon may be the reason the Huntsclan formed in the first place.
