Dragons are one of, if not the most powerful creatures in the show. They are usually reptilian creatures that have incredibly powerful abilities and are not to be messed with. While few are seen in the show, they are one of the most respected species in the show, as they are much higher up on the food chain, even higher than humans. They are also usually royalty or leaders of groups, and legends say that if one were to be killed, someone extremely powerful would arrive not too long later and drag the killer down into their own personalized Hell.
Canonically, there are very few dragons left in the world as overhunting for their magic powers and properties has led to the vast majority of them going nearly extinct, only preserved from extinction thanks to the efforts of UXW. One group of these dragon hunters includes relatives of Steve, who had hunted the Ender Dragon's species to near extinction, with the only one left being trapped in the End due to nobody knowing how to open another portal back without killing the dragon.
It is currently unknown how or why dragons came into being, but UXW believes that they, too, were a creation of God that humanity took for granted for centuries.
There are canonically 22 known living dragons (not including separate forms of UXW or robot dragons).
The Dragon Holocaust was an event that started on March 12, 2019 and ended on March 20, 2020. During the event, every group of humans started to hunt the remaining dragons for several different reasons. Some wanted revenge, others wanted to see what would happen if they killed some dragons. Once UXW heard of this, he attempted to stop them but was banished to The Void by Robo-Weapon, where he would spend the next year figuring out how to escape since his powers were either dulled or completely nullified. While UXW was gone, Robo-Weapon led the charge against dragons, hoping to extinguish the flame keeping UXW's status as "Protector of Dragons" valid. Once people stopped believing UXW would help them, he would be seen as a true threat across the universes and Robo-Weapon could finally kill UXW without anyone being any wiser. However, UXW managed to escape The Void by using his own intelligence and abusing the properties of SOUL manipulation and teleportation present in The Void. Once he saw what had happened, he destroyed every dragon-killing weapon on Earth and hid the dragons someplace safe, and he then decided to train himself to detect any dragons being hurt or killed at any moment in time and space. This plan worked, and most humans from that point forward were too scared to even attempt to kill a dragon since they knew UXW would give them "a fate so much worse than Hell."
