The Great Dragon is a magical creature introduced in Season 1.

Overview

The Great Dragon is one of the most powerful creatures to have ever existed. From its fiery breath came the Dragon's Flame, the creating force of the Magic Dimension. Its resting place is the Vortex of Flames.

Appearance

The Great Dragon looks like a reptilian creature with a long serpentine body. It has only a pair of forelimbs in the Cinélume dub but in the Nickelodeon Specials and as from Season 5, it is seen with a pair of forelimbs and a pair of hind limbs. It possesses mustache-like tendrils above each nose and eyes and there are horn-like projections on its lover jaw. On each side of its head is a large triangular horn-like frill.

The Great Dragon's color is orange with a yellow aura around it, which gives its body a fiery lava-like look.

Pre-Series

The Great Dragon created the Magic Dimension with the Dragon's Flame and eventually rested on planet Domino. Darkar, a being of pure darkness who absorbs energy and possesses opposing energy, was created at the same time, as well as the Water Stars, the extinguishing force of the Dragon's power.

In "Mission at Cloudtower," after the Trix had stolen the Ring of Solaria, Bloom finds a book explaining its origins. The Winx learn that it is an important and valuable object passed down through generations of Solarian royalty, partly created by a spring of light born of the Sacred Fire created by the Great Dragon, but this does not explain why the Trix are so eager to have it. After this, Bloom meets with Faragonda in the hopes of uncovering the secrets of this mysterious dragon. Faragonda explains that in the beginning, there was nothing. Then, out of the deep darkness, a dazzling light appeared; the Great Dragon.

Then, with his fiery breath, he created a multitude of different worlds and spread life, light, and heat across the universe. Eventually, he became exhausted and chose to lie down and rest in a place called Domino. Bloom adds that Stella told her that Domino is a cold, dark, and unfriendly place, but Faragonda says that it used to be a happy and prosperous place before dark forces attacked Domino and put out the Dragon's Flame once and for all; the Magic Dimesnion has not been the same since.

When Darkar tried to gain control of the Ultimate Power, he sent his servants, the Ancestral Witches and Valtor, to claim the Dragon Fire from Domino, therefore causing the planet's destruction. When all the inhabitants of Domino disappeared in the final battle between the Company of Light and the Ancestral Witches, the whole Magic Dimension thought that the Dragon's Flame had been extinguished, until the Trix stole it from Bloom and revealed to her that it was still burning inside her, since she was its Guardian. This was confirmed when Bloom openly used the Dragon's Flame in the final battle against the Trix.

It is revealed that when the Great Dragon created the Universe, a small part of its Fire mixed with the Darkness, creating a kind of dark Dragon Fire which the Ancestral Witches found and fashioned into a man they raised as if he were their own son and named him Valtor.

It is possible that the part of Darkness which mixed with the Dragon Fire from which Valtor was created was in fact a small piece of Darkar's darkness, since it was stated that both the Shadow Phoenix and the Great Dragon both were born in the original void before the beginning of Time, which possibly means that they were born together at the same time, since in the first episode of the second season, Professor Wizgiz said, that in the Magic Dimension everything and every magic power has an opposite, also implying that opposite powers are created together.

Magical Ablities

The Great Dragon's power is called the Dragon Flame, which is also the source of Bloom's powers. It is the power from which the whole Magic Dimension and all magic was created and is said to be limitless. It cannot be extinguished except with the Water Stars, which are said to be its magical opposite. The full powers of the Dragon Flame have never been seen in the show.

Trivia

• The appearance of the Great Dragon is similar to those of Chinese Dragons.
• Throughout the series, many magical artifacts and creatures that have been described as having powers either equal or more powerful compared to the Great Dragon's Flame have appeared.
  • Season 2 had introduced the Ultimate Power which was sealed off in a dimension separate from the Magic Dimension known as Relix. It was thanks to its legendary power that caused Lord Darkar, the Shadow Phoenix, to be drawn to it. Also, the perfect balance of good and evil forces (the flames of the Great Dragon and Shadow Phoenix respectively) was necessary in opening a portal into Relix through the union of the Codex quadrants.
  • Season 6 introduced the Beast of the Depths which, according to Icy, was more powerful than the Dragon's Flame.
• In the 4Kids dub, the Great Dragon is female.
