Dragons

 are flying beasts encountered by Darren Shan and Harkat Mulds. They were created by Darren's friend, Alan Morris. There were originally at least five who guarded the Lake of Souls. Darren, Harkat and Spits Abrams had to overcome them to get to the lake. Darren and Harkat first encountered the big male dragon with a purple head. Then Darren, Harkat and Spits see the entire family including two infants and two females. One had a grey head, the other white and including the big male.

They later rule the future when humans, Vampires and Vampaneze die out.

The Stone of Blood comes from them and is the brain of a Dragon.
