World Dragons are a collective position and role certain dragons are given to act as protectors of the Magical Community in various corners of the globe, generally apportioned by countries in which they live. They are governed by the Dragon Council[1] and serve The Order of The Dragon.

Dark Dragon[]
- Main article: Dark Dragon
While not a Council-appointed World Dragon, upon deciding to become evil, the individual known only as "The Dark Dragon" is the only dragon to have claimed the entire world as his domain. With the stated goal of destroying the Dragon Council[3], and seizing control of magical communities of the entire world as part of his plan to destroy humanity[4], he is arguably the only "true" World Dragon.
His current location is another dimension where he should remain trapped for the next thousand years[4].
Trivia[]
- Most of the Dragon Council members appear to be former World Dragons themselves, implying that a qualification to become councilor is to first be a World Dragon.
- In "Being Human" Haley stands up for Jake and states, "HEY! When was the last time either of you were the American Dragon?! Well, as the little troll girl currently filling the position, let me tell you it's stinkin' hard! I can't imagine it doing it two more days, let alone two more years!", with Jake being 13 when he started training (14 in the episode), it is implied that a dragon only has the obligation until they are 16.
