Dragon Breeds by Country

The dragon breeds listed in the following sections are listed in increasing order of their weight; larger breeds appearing after the smaller breeds, unless marked with an asterisk, which indicates the size is unknown, and the placement guessed from existing information. Also note, this is only a list of where the dragon breed originated, not a complete list of where it can be found.

A more detailed list of Dragon Breeds by Weight can be found on Dragon Weight Classification. Another page, Dragon Breed Physical Characteristics, lists the known descriptions of every Dragon Breed in the Temeraire series.
