Dragons were sentient creatures that roamed freely in the land of Alagaësia. They were the mounts and life-long companions of the Dragon Riders. Apart from werecats, spirits and Lethrblaka, dragons were the only known intelligent non-humanoid species. There are currently only four known dragons left in Alagaësia: Shruikan, Saphira, Thorn, and the green dragon egg in Galbatorix's possession. Glaedr was the only other dragon known to be alive during the Rider War, but he was killed by Murtagh and Thorn and now resides in his Eldunarí which is in Eragon's possession. Hundreds of years later, the race of dragons were restored, and the Riders returned to Alagaësia.
