History Characters / WarcraftTheDragonflights

** The succession crisis in the uncorrupted Black Dragonflight is leaving them divided and at each other's throats, with Wrathion and Sabellion's attempts to one-up each other in the bid for Aspect tying up manpower and resources, instead of unifying quickly to bring themselves back to strength and provide much needed aid in the fight against the Primalists and Incarnates. Not to mention that the other flights, while acknowledging the flight is uncorrupted now, are still distrustful of their manipulative and power-hungry natures that were left over from their corruption, which the power struggle isn't doing this reputation any favors. This especially doesn't do Sabellian any favors; his merit to claim the title is backed by seniority and prior leadership skills over his flight, but his loyal service to Deathwing, the fact he ''was'' corrupted (unlike Wrathion) and lingering doubts that he's as purified as he says he is is why Alexstrasza didn't end the matter of who the Black Aspect should be then and there.

The Scalecommander of the Dark Talons, Cindrethresh leads the dracthyr who chose to ally with the Horde. She has red scales.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Her dracthyr form is female and is referred to as "her" in the text of an early Waking Shores quest, but her visage form seen in Valdrakken is male and has a different voice to match, and is visibly shorter then a player dracthyr in visage. Possibly she would be considered genderfluid in human terms, but overall it doesn't seem to be something the dracthyr really worry about.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: One of his many victims was a group of proto-dragons who attempted to betray their kind to him.

The only still-living consort of Malygos, Haleh takes after the former aspect by trying to upholds his values of regulating magic.

* {{Workaholic}}: Haleh, ever since her departure from Malygos' side following his descent into madness, has been at work ensuring no dangerous magical artifacts can be found in Winterspring. She won't stop in this work until she goes a hundred consequtive days without a cursed artifact causing trouble: She's only managed 41.

* FallenHero: Formerly one of the Dragon Aspects, Malygos eventually turned his back on the world, concluding that destroying all races of Azeroth was preferable than allowing them to continuing their abuse of magic.

* HaveANiceDeath: He will taunt you endlessly every time he hands players their asses, ''a lot more'' than most other bosses do. Each phase has ''multiple'' lines that he uses for killing a player, and he has nine total.

* LargeHam: Another one voiced by Creator/CamClarke, some may find him sounds like a blood elf. Of course he says many lines [[PunctuatedForEmphasis with added emphasis]].

* CreepyChild: He's conniving, cunning, orchestrates the fall of the corrupt Black Dragonflight, and disguises himself as a goateed human male. And he's only a baby dragon...

** The Green Dragonflight are the guardians of nature and the Spirit World. They breathe noxious gas.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Using the Dragon Soul to defeat Deathwing for good stripped the aspects of their incredible power and infinite lifespan... though as mentioned just below, it went even farther by rendering all of them, not just the aspects, sterile. This trope has been reversed by ''Dragonflight'' with all of the Aspects resume their duty and regained their power, as well as birthing new eggs again.

* DyingRace: Initially, after the events of ''Cataclysm'', all dragons on Azeroth have lost the ability to lay eggs for reasons still unknown. Black Dragons in particular are down to just Wrathion, Ebyssian, and Sabellian, all egg-laying black dragon females (even if their species-wide sterility would make it moot now) were killed back in ''Cataclysm''. ''Dragonflight'' seems to ignore this however, though many of the flights are few in number and recovering, newly laid eggs can be seen at the Ruby Life Pools to help them be nurtured and grow, any mention of the sterility subplot is [[AbortedArc completely absent]], suggesting it was either quietly retconned or fixed offscreen. The Black Dragons' plight still remains as Sabellion's brood only has a handful of females left in it, but still have enough genetic diversity to safely reproduce and rebuild, and the hatching of the first clutch of Black Dragon whelps is a major cause for celebration in the flight.
* ElementalEmbodiment: Proto-Drakes and dragons by extension descend from elementals who avoided being imprisoned in the Elemental Planes - and like Titanforged under the Curse of Flesh - gradually became creatures of flesh and blood. The Primalist schism comes from those that chose the elements over order.

* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:After his plot with the Infinite Dragonflight is foiled, he flees the Dragon Isles to pursue his own agenda, leaving Fyrakk in charge of the Primalists still on the Isles.]]
