Dragon

Dragons (ドラゴン) are a race from Tales of Zestiria and Tales of Berseria.

Description
When a seraph or a malak is exposed to malevolence due to lacking a pure vessel, they turn into a drake (ドラゴンパピー), which as is exposed constantly to malevolence may evolve into a fully-fledged dragon. Drakes are invisible to humans with the lack of resonance, manifesting for them as a raging tornado for example, but a dragon is visible to anyone regardless of their spiritual aptitude. Drakes and dragons alike appear as four-legged, winged lizards, able to use magic artes. A dragon's sighting is considered to be an ill omen.

Tales of Zestiria
In Tales of Zestiria, a legend has it that a dragon lives on Rayfalke Spiritcrest. In reality, Eizen, Edna's elder brother lives there as a dragon who kills anyone who comes to the mountain. During the second battle at Glaveind Basin, the surge of malevolence causes the local seraph to turn into a mighty dragon, Tiamat. Sorey, Rose, and the accompanying seraphim fight her, and during the fight Hyland and Rolance join forces with the Woodsmen and aid the Shepherd and his group in the battle with the dragon. During the pre-final battle, Heldalf armatizes with Maotelus assuming a form of a lion-dragon hybrid that is ultimately severed with Siegfried.

Tales of Berseria
In Tales of Berseria, Innominat is depicted in Innominat's Book as an eight-headed serpent, a creature similar to a dragon. The shrine in which he lies dormant also appear to host it, both things hinting that Innominat's true form is an eight-headed serpent. During her escape from Titania, Velvet Crowe fights with a drake that Oscar Dragonia created with the help of one of his malakhim and devours the creature, using its power to blind Oscar on his left eye. Zaveid's lover, Theodora, have turned into a dragon after they took orphans under they care and was affected by the malevolence they generated due to their horrible experiences. When Velvet seals Innominat, Laphicet assumes the form of a great white dragon, known as "Dragon of Light", and assumes the name "Maotelus" that was given to him by Eleanor Hume when she first made pact with him. Eight hundred years later, Eizen fights with that time's Lord of Calamity and saves the world from destruction by devouring him and turning into a dragon. He later comes to Rayfalke Spiritcrest where he lives from that moment onward.
