The different tribes are Red, the life dragons, ruled by Alexstrasza; Green, the dream dragons, ruled by Ysera; Blue, the magic dragons, ruled by Malygos; Bronze, the time dragons, ruled by Nozdormu; and Black, the earth dragons; formerly ruled by Neltharion, before his betrayal of the other for aspects and his ascension to the lofty title of Deathwing.

• The Breath of Fire series of role-playing video games made by Capcom, have their story revolve around the recurring hero, Ryu, who is a Light Dragon, who needs to defeat the Dark Dragons and ultimately, a goddess by the name of Myria, who is an enemy of the dragons.
  • In the third game, nothing is mentioned of a war between the Light Dragons and the Dark Dragons, only of a war between the Brood (the race of dragons) and the goddess Myria (or Tyr).

Onyxia is a major dragon boss and requires a multiple-man raid consisting of 20+ separate players, all working together with a certain plan of action designed to hopefully defeat her. Almost all the dragons depicted in the game are about five times the height of a player and are massively powerful elites, which means each one is a type of boss and therefore much harder to kill than a normal creature. The other dragons in the game are smaller, pocket versions of the full size dragons, called whelplings. These are much easier to kill and are not bosses at all. If one is lucky enough to kill the right whelpling, in some cases the loot collected from the dead creature can include a whelpling pet (which can be summoned to fly alongside the owner of the pet at will), which is extremely rare on the game and can be sold for several hundred gold.
• The Elder Dragons are the main antagonists in the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. According to the lore of the game, the Elder Dragons have been sleeping for centuries and have now awoken to unleash a cycle of destruction upon Tyria, the world in which the game is set. Each dragon has its own minions, and some of them are associated with an element. For example, Primordus, the dragon of fire, controls the Destroyers; Jormag, the dragon of ice, controls the Icebrood; and Mordemoth, believed to be an earth dragon, of whom little is known about other than his name. Other dragons include Zhaitan, the undead dragon, who controls zombie-like creatures known as the Risen; Kralkatorrik, the dragon of crystal, who controls crystallized creatures known as the Branded; and a Deep Sea Dragon of whom little is known about other than his existence.
