Discover the 20 Most Enchanting Anime Dragon Girls You Need to Know!

It’s well-known that anime characters can take on diverse forms and sizes, some of which were unfamiliar in Western cultures prior to the emergence of anime. One such example is the dragon girl character type. Since dragons are one of the most prevalent mythical creatures in Asian art, it’s not surprising that they have found a place in the anime world as well. However, beyond traditional dragons, there’s a unique blend of a dragon and a human female figure known as a dragon girl, which is quite common in certain anime series categorized under isekai. This article will provide you with a list of the 20 top dragon girls in the anime universe.

20. Flatorte (I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level)

A girl resembling a dragon, sporting hair that is a blend of blue and purple, is more than 400 years senior to Laika. At first, she stirred up trouble at the wedding of Laika’s sister due to feelings of jealousy. However, after Azusa stepped in, she agreed to a truce. To honor this agreement, she chose to work for Azusa’s organization rather than take her own life, as part of her religious beliefs.

19. Iris (The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest)

Iris, often referred to as “Iris the Dark Dragon,” is one of the oldest and most powerful female dragons. Encountering Matthias a millennium after their initial meeting, she has taken on the role of guardian for his hidden true identity, honoring his desire for secrecy.

18. Nina Drango (Rage of Bahamut)

Nina Drango is a bounty hunter, apprentice to Leone Favoro, who journeyed to Anatae to make a living. The people of the capital admire her cheerful demeanor. Half-dragon and half-human, Nina boasts extraordinary strength and occasionally transforms into a red dragon when in the company of attractive young men. She is smitten with Charioce XVII, whom she knew as a child, Chris.

17. Maruga (Dragon Crisis!)

During his trip to the seashore, Ryuji stumbles upon a dragon who turns out to be the icy dragons’ royalty. At first, she appears cold and haughty towards Ryuji, but as time passes, her demeanor softens, suggesting a growing fondness. She asks Ryuji for aid in recovering a cursed artifact from George Evans, another Level 10 Breaker, and later helps persuade Ryuji to rescue Rose. Ryujo has known Onyx, the black dragon, since they were young, and they have a deep-rooted connection.

16. Ilulu (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

Ilulu is a dragon that disguises as a human, with distinctive features such as red hair, dragon-like arms, horns, and a tail. She’s about the same age as Toru, but her actions are naive and filled with insecurity due to past experiences. Once she had friendly interactions with humans, but this changed when her parents were brutally slain by them. Convinced of human cruelty by fellow dragons, Ilulu travels to the present world to shatter the bond between Toru and Kobayashi. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to do so, like fighting Toru and inciting Kanna against Kobayashi, she decides to try charming Kobayashi, which too fails.

15. Tomoe (Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy)

Originally called Shen, she is one of the powerful Dragons residing in the realm of the Goddesses. At present, she serves under Makoto’s team within the storyline. Capable of metamorphosing into a massive, azure-colored dragon.

14. Tio Klarus (Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest)

Tiola is a character known for her unconventional nature, often categorized as a masochist, or “M”. Following her defeat by Hajime’s team in the northern mountains of Ul village, she develops a strong allegiance to Hajime, referring to him as “Teacher.” Originally hailing from the Ryujin Clarce tribe, Tiola possesses remarkable magical skills and defense, showcasing incredible strength when transforming into her Dragon form. Even attacks from Hajime’s group only manage to crack her dragon scales. At 563 years old, Tiola commands respect from Yue, although Yue eventually becomes cautious of her unusual behaviors. Later on, Tiola marries Hajime and becomes his third wife.

13. Elma (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

In a transformed human guise, Elma – a female water dragon from the Harmony faction – presents herself as a young woman with raven-black and violet-tipped hair, piercing blue eyes, and skillfully hides her horn and tail while she’s at work. She stands as Tōru’s adversary in the realm of dragons, not due to personal grudges but because of their opposing factions. Although they both hold considerable power, Elma lacks Tōru’s ability to open dimensional portals.

Following numerous failed attempts to get Tōru back to the dragon realm and her own inability to go back, Elma opts to adopt the human identity of Elma Jōi and collaborate with Kobayashi. In this human world, she learns about life under Kobayashi’s tutelage. This decision not only helps alleviate their personal conflict but also ensures peace in the new environment for both Kobayashi and the preservation of harmony in the new world. Elma is known for her tenacity, drive, and diligent work ethic, yet she often grapples with decision-making and has a fondness for food, particularly sweets, which she can’t resist when tempted by delicious treats.

12. Milim Nava (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

Milim Nava, famously referred to as the “Destroyer,” holds the title of the True Demon King and is one of the mightiest characters in the series “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime“. Being the sole Dragonoid, she is often perceived as a tyrant because of her overwhelming power and temperamental nature. Born to Lucia and Veldanava, the Star Dragon King, Milim is their daughter and her birth, forbidden among True Dragons, left a profound impact on her father, draining much of his powers due to the inheritance of most of them by her.

Following the heartbreaking loss of Veldanava and Lucia, Milim found herself alone, with just her father-made pet dragon as her only companion, as she was orphaned at a tender age and had not yet reached physical maturity. Her mind retained an innocence typical of a child. Tragedy struck again when her beloved dragon was slain by a nation coveting Milim’s power. Enraged and driven to seek vengeance, Milim embarked on a destructive rampage. In the heat of her uncontrollable rage, she engaged in an extended conflict with Guy Crimson, ultimately turning once prosperous lands into a barren wasteland. The conflict came to an end when the Fairy Queen Ramiris intervened, managing to pacify Milim by absorbing her powerful aura and Guy’s magic. In doing so, Ramiris transformed herself into a Demon King.

11. Mink (Dragon Half)

Mink is a creature that’s part draconian, resembling a youthful girl with wings. She boasts immense power and agility, making her incredibly tough to defeat. Among her many traits, she has an intense fondness for Dick Saucer’s concerts and dreams of attending them. Beneath her extraordinary being, Mink yearns for nothing more than to live as an ordinary girl.

10. Tear Lightning (Unlimited Fafnir)

Teardrop, or ‘D’ girl, enrolls in the Brynhildr class and declares herself Yū’s spouse, convinced he is a dragon. Tranquility in her life is shattered when a dragon cult led by Kili torches her home and slays her parents. At first, she takes pride in being a dragon after receiving praise from the cult, but encountering Yū alters her viewpoint, inspiring her to live as a human. She views Iris as a rival for Yū’s affection, vowing not to be outdone by her.

9. Quetzalcoatl / Lucoa (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

As a passionate moviegoer, let me share my take on this intriguing character: I’m speaking about none other than Lucoa, formerly known as Quetzalcoatl, the Observer faction dragon who was once an Aztec goddess… until a scandalous incident with her sister tarnished her divine image. In human form, she is a captivating woman, characterized by her blonde locks, striking heterochromia, and notably voluptuous physique. She’s wise beyond her years, friendly, and often provides guidance to her companions, all while embracing life with a casual, laid-back approach. However, when it comes to delving into her past, she prefers to keep things under wraps.

In an unusual turn of events, Lucoa meddled with a summoning spell, leading her to live alongside the young magician Shōta, disguised as his “summoned entity.” The humor and embarrassment in their relationship stem from Lucoa’s tendency to flaunt her human form, causing awkward situations between the two.

8. Eco (Dragonar Academy)

Eco is a unique companion who transforms into a small human girl, and although she harbors feelings for Ash, she treats him as her servant, displaying a stubborn demeanor due to her pride. She acknowledges that Ash is her master but vehemently denies it, afraid that submission would reduce her to a mere pet. Eco perceives Ash’s affection as transcending the boundaries of a pet-owner relationship. With her powers, she can access Dragweiss, granting Ash magical armor called Ark and an Ark weapon imbued with elemental energy.

7. Kuro (Restaurant to Another World)

Among many powerful ancient dragons from another realm, Kuro is one who wields the force of death. Her being simply exists in proximity to any living creature, inevitably leading to their demise. To avoid unintended destruction, she exiles herself to a shattered moon. However, curiosity leads her to find an entrance to the Maw, a place unknown to her due to her isolation. In this new environment, she encounters chicken curry and, being unfamiliar with human customs, consumes a great deal of it. To settle her debts, the Chef employs Kuro as a waitress at their restaurant. Through mental communication, Kuro shares thoughts, and occasionally transforms into a young, dark-haired elf.

6. Laika (I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level)

As an ardent moviegoer, I’d rephrase it like this: I’m a 300-year-old shapeshifter dragon maid, resplendent in red hues. Initially brimming with arrogance, I took on the task of testing Azusa’s might. However, the outcome wasn’t what I expected – I was bested. In the wake of my defeat, I humbled myself and became Azusa’s first apprentice and household helper.

5. Grea (Manaria Friends)

In a nutshell, Grea is a unique girl who’s half-human and half-dragon, often feeling out of place among dragons. Eager for change, she joined the Mysteria Academy of Magic to immerse herself in human ways of life. At first shy, her bond with Anne aided her in finding self-assurance. While it’s not explicitly mentioned, Grea seems to have unspoken romantic feelings towards Anne, her cherished companion at Mysteria Academy.

4. Zefiris (Scrapped Princess)

In the world of Providence, there exists a formidable, non-physical entity known as Zefiris – the last Dragon left on Earth. Born during the Genesis War, she shares similarities with the Peacemakers as an artificial intelligence. Initially, Zefiris offers aid to the Casull family, offering intel about assassins targeting Pacifica. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Zefiris holds a grudge and maintains a bond with Shannon, addressing him as her master. As the narrative develops, Zefiris finds herself torn between adhering to a 5,000-year-old plan, questioning its ethical implications and the cost of lives for a higher purpose, contrasting sharply with other Dragons’ perspectives.

3. Rose (Dragon Crisis!)

A young dragon named Rose, who initially could only say “Ryuji,” was once under the control of the criminal group known as “Fang.” She was discovered by someone called Ryuji at her birth and he named her Rose because of a rose-like mark on her left hand. Although she exhibited hostility towards others, especially concerning her necklace, she developed a strong bond with Ryuji. This bond led to questions about Ryuji’s feelings for her, and some dragons mistakenly believed them to be partners due to a confusion surrounding the “Engaged” ritual that Ryuji had performed with Rose.

2. Tōru (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

Toru is an extraterrestrial dragon, belonging to the Chaos group. In her human guise, she sports long, platinum-blond hair with red tips and enlarged red eyes that sometimes remain even when not in her full dragon form, which includes her horns and tail. Frequently mistaken for a cosplayer, Toru wields a variety of spells, one of them being the ability to open dimensional portals. Despite her sunny disposition that masks a certain innocence, she is intensely smitten with Kobayashi and yearns to prove herself worthy as Kobayashi’s companion. Toru openly declares her affection and occasionally tries to slip fragments of her venomous dragon tail into Kobayashi’s meals. Initially wary of humans, encountering Kobayashi shifted her perspective, though she still exhibits a hint of arrogance, requiring Kobayashi on occasion to correct her.

1. Kanna Kamui (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid)

Kanna Kamui, a youthful dragon girl and ally of Tōru, was sent away from the dragon realm for a while due to some mischievous antics. When she transforms into human form, she appears as an elementary school-aged child with hair colored white and lavender, blue eyes, and is renowned for her extraordinary adorableness. Though she’s older in her dragon shape, Kanna shows behaviors typical of a child, characterized by curiosity, playfulness, and a fondness for cute items. She harnesses energy from electricity, storing it using her dragon tail as a plug into outlets. Initially skeptical of Kobayashi, Kanna eventually forms a strong bond with her, viewing her as a maternal figure. Attending Oborozuka Elementary School, Kanna revels in being around ordinary kids while concealing her true dragon essence. The character is based on Kannakamuy, the thunder spirit from Ainu folklore in northern Japan.
