The Dragon has been imprisoned for 20 years in the caves. When Merlin comes down to ask for advice the dragon often makes up riddles for Merlin to solve. When the dragon is clear on what Merlin must do Merlin sometimes ignores him. Once when the dragon told merlin not to save the kings life when Morgana was going to kill him, he went ahead and saved the king anyway.

One time when Arthur was dying Merlin asked the dragon how to stop him from dying. The dragon said that he had to go faraway to a place to find out how to transfer Arthurs death to himself, but instead his mother started dying. Then Merlin went back to the caves and yelled at the dragon for tricking him, he also said he would never let the dragon free. Enraged by this the dragon tried to kill Merlin. But he escaped. Later Merlin came back pleading for more advice and all was forgiven.

The dragon is a very wise and old dragon. He is precognitive (can see the future). He also has a strange sense of humour, he likes to laugh at inappropriate times. He also has many more psychic abilities.
