'''Dragons''' are a sapient species within the [[cosmere]]. Originally, they came from [[Yolen]], but can now be found, though apparently in small numbers, on other worlds.{{wob ref|4410}}{{wob ref|14441}} They are one of Yolen's three native species, alongside humans and [[Sho Del]].{{wob ref|9676}}
 
==Characteristics==
Dragons are intelligent and inherently ageless.{{wob ref|2655}}{{wob ref|3074}}{{wob ref|58815730}} They arehave athe uniqueability raceto shapeshift,{{wob ref|2655}}taking andon atthe leastform oneof individualdifferent isspecies, amongincluding thehumans; oldesthow beingsmuch ina thedragon can shapeshift depends on an cosmereunknown factor.{{wob ref|94512076}} TheyWhen arethe notdragon necessarilyis largetransformed, inthere size,is andno theyapparent havesign that it's not the abilityspecies toit's shapeshiftpresenting as.{{wob ref|26557171}} IndividualTheir dragonsshapeshifting maymethod beis abledifferent to take the formthat of differentthe species[[kandra]], includingeven human.{{wobif ref|2655}}{{wobthe ref|12076}}result They are able tois flysimilar.{{wob ref|11737148}}
 
In their reptillian form, they are not necessarily large; at least some are smaller than [[sandling]]s, though others can be as large as a [[chasmfiend]].{{wob ref|2655}}{{book ref|sa4|80}} They have four legs, as well as a pair of massive wing, which allows them to fly. Their skin is covered with pearlescent scales, as well as silvery streaks that run along their body. Despite their nonhuman form, they are still able to speak with humanoid voice.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
==Known individuals==
There are two confirmed dragons to date. One is [[Frost]], who is still living on Yolen.{{wob ref|3679}} He has some relationship with the [[Seventeenth Shard]] and is the the recipient [[Hoid's]] [[Letters#The First Letter|letter]] on the threat of [[Odium]] and is the author of a [[Letters#The Second Letter|response]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}}{{wob ref|2682}} The second known dragon is [[Koravellium Avast]], the original Vessel of [[Cultivation]].{{wob ref|14441}} According to Hoid, she is the only dragon on Roshar and prefers to hide her form.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
 
== Presence in the Cosmere ==
It is possible that one or more dragons have already appeared in published works in another form, but readers would not have been able to identify them.{{wob ref|7171}} Brandon's comments regarding ''Dragonsteel'' indicate that there were once numerous dragons,{{wob ref|7273}}{{wob ref|4410}} but it is not known how many survived until the events of the [[Stormlight Archive]].
{{for|:Category: Dragon (cosmere)|a list of known dragons}}▼
 
Two dragons are known to exist, both of them still alive since the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]]. One is [[Frost]], living on Yolen.{{wob ref|3679}} He has some relationship with the [[Seventeenth Shard]], and actively correspons with [[Hoid]] while the latter is on [[Roshar]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|26}}{{wob ref|2682}} Though not a worldhopper, he has significant knowledge of the [[cosmere]].{{wob ref|3679}}
==Cosmere role==
Frost is not a [[worldhopper]] but he has significant knowledge of the cosmere.{{wob ref|3679}} He is older than [[Hoid]]{{wob ref|945}} which means he was alive during the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]], although it is not clear if he was actually present at that event. He is still alive.{{wob ref|3074}}
 
The other is [[Koravellium Avast]], the original Vessel of [[Cultivation]], though she prefers to hide her true form, even when speaking to other Shards.{{wob ref|14441}}{{book ref|sa4|114}} She is the only dragon on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa4|80}}
The Second Letter's author refers to a nonintervention policy, which Brandon has confirmed as applying to Frost.{{wob ref|4214}} Frost knows Hoid well and calls him "friend"; he also appears to have personal knowledge of the original [[Vessel]]s of the sixteen [[Shard]]s. He refers to past interference having caused "destruction" and "nothing but pain" and urges Hoid to stop causing chaos. If other dragons are alive, it is not known if they share Frost's knowledge or his position.
 
It's possible that other dragons are also around, but they have not revealed themselves.{{wob ref|7171}} How much other inhabitants of the cosmere know about them is unclear. On [[Nalthis]], dragons are part of the local mythology, with the phrase "dragon's nest" referring to a highly dangerous place.{{book ref|wb|17}}{{wob ref|1346}} On [[Roshar]], dragons are effectively unknown to its modern-day inhabitants.{{book ref|sa4|80}} It's possible that they were known in the distant past, as there exists old artwork depicting dragon-esque creatures.{{file ref|Oathgate Locations.jpg|text=Oathgate Locations}}
The [[Nalthian]] [[Dedelin]] refers to [[T'Telir]] as a "dragon's nest".{{book ref|wb|17}} Brandon has stated that Nalthians are a highly cosmere-aware society{{wob ref|1711}} and that there is a reason that dragons are part of Nalthian mythology.{{wob ref|1346}}
