Dragons, also known as dracha, are a type of Demon. Four specific Dragons appeared in different parts of the Shannara series:
- One appeared in The Elfstones of Shannara at Halys Cut and was killed by Allanon.
- Another dragon appeared in the High Druid of Shannara trilogy, when it was drawn to the darkwand by the flashing lights the staff gave off. The dragon was not killed, however; it last appeared at the end when it was toying with the Moric.
- A third dragon (or perhaps the first to appear, if the books are ordered chronologically) is introduced in the Legends of Shannara duology. It too was attracted to magic light, this time issuing from the Elfstones.
- Tael Riverine rode a dragon in Witch Wraith.
