• Cunning: Purple icon, have better special attacks.
• Swift: Blue icon, have better speed.
• Furious: Red icon, have better attacks.
• Protector: Green icon, have better health + defense.

The abilities a Dragon has access to is connected to their type. Many Protector dragons, for instance, can heal other dragons.

Each type is strong / weak against another. The guide below represents this. It can be accessed from the My Dragons menu.
