3!!Prehistoric Dragon
4[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4a87ce12_3013_4cfc_8f99_4eb7826a3335.png]]
5The first of the dragons that the mockumentary focused on. The Prehistoric Dragon lived long before the humans appeared, back to the time of the dinosaurs. Its size rivaled even that of the T-Rex and it is the largest of the dragons. Like most other prehistoric creatures, the Prehistoric Dragon went extinct after the K-T Event.
6
7'''Known Individuals''': Young Male, Mother, Old Male, Competing Male, Female.
8* BreathWeapon: Its fire breath. It is a dragon, after all.
9* GiantFlyer
10* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Presumably, given that no record (fossil or otherwise) of the dragon was ever found.
11* PlayingWithFire: It is a dragon, after all.
12* PrehistoricMonster
13* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Unlike most depictions of dragons, it actually only has 4 limbs as it lacked front legs.
14
15!!Marine Dragon
16Like the Prehistoric Dragon, the Marine Dragon also exist as far back as the dinosaur times. Like the name suggests, the Marine Dragon inhabits the ocean rather than the land. Unlike the Prehistoric Dragon, it escaped extinction of the K-T Event due to their marine habitats.
17
18'''Known Individuals''': Lone Male/Female.
19* KrakenAndLeviathan: Obviously of the "Leviathan" variety.
20* OurDragonsAreDifferent: It is actually a sea monster.
21* SeaMonster: In fact, human encounters with Marine Dragons may actually be the inspiration for sea monsters in various myths. The website states that it could grow up to ''two hundred feet long''.
22* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Due to a genetic mutation somewhere along the line.
23* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It was never told what the final fate of the Marine Dragon was. Given the fate of all dragons shown, however, it most likely went extinct.
24
25!!Forest Dragon
26As the climate stablized after the K-T Event, the dragons soon recolonized the land. The Forest Dragon ended up inhabiting the bamboo forests of China. They mainly hunted the large mammals that was abundant in the forest.
27
28'''Known Individuals''': Lone Female.
29* BreathWeapon: Its fire breath.
30* NotQuiteFlight: Unlike the other terrestrial dragons, its wings are rather minuscule and only good for gliding rather than flying.
31* OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's implied to be the basis of the Chinese Dragon.
32* PlayingWithFire: It regained this ability after it was lost by the Marine Dragon.
33* TigerVersusDragon: A literal example. [[spoiler:The dragon won]].
34* TreeCover: This is their method of hunting, given that their habitat is a dense forest.
35* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Given that it descended from the Marine Dragon.
36* VoiceChangeling: Can use its hydrogen reserves to modify its voice so that it sounds like other animals. It first uses it to sound like a wild pig so that it can get close enough to a herd of them to strike. When a tiger scares them off, [[spoiler:it changes its vocalizations to those of an injured pig to lure the ''tiger'' in for the kill]].
37
38!!Desert Dragon
39
40The phylogenetic tree of the dragons shown depicts a line related to the Forest Dragon called "Desert Dragon". It is never elaborated upon in the show, however.
41
42* TheGhost
43* TheMissingFaction
44* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Though given turkic legends, it can't had been a much better fate than the Mountain Dragon's.
45
46!!Mountain Dragon
47[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1de80141_d2d0_482d_b569_f27b93a45d18.jpeg]]
48The other terrestrial dragon that came after the K-T Event. They had traditionally roam large areas of land in search of large herds of game. Human civilization had forced these dragons up into the highest mountains, hence the name Mountain Dragon. The Mountain Dragon was finally driven into extinction by the humans.
49
50'''Known Individuals''': Female, Male, Daughter.
51* BreathWeapon: Like all the other terrestrial dragons.
52* GiantFlyer
53* OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's implied to be the basis of the European Dragon.
54* PlayingWithFire: Well of course.
55* ReluctantMonster: They are infamous for stealing human cattle, but it is only an attempt to feed themselves.
56* VertebrateWithExtraLimbs: Given that it descended from the Marine Dragon.
57* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While the Mother and daughter are both killed by humans, the fate of the male is unknown.
