Dragonair is a long, serpentine {{wp|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with sky blue scales and a white underside. It has a rounded snout, oval purple eyes, and a small, white horn on its forehead. On each side of its head is a small, stylized wing, which is white and curves into a swirl at the base. Three blue, crystal orbs adorn its body: one on its neck and two on its tail.


Dragonair emits a distinct, gentle aura that can be felt by humans. As seen in [[PK04|the anime]], it is able to make its wings grow to large sizes in order to fly; it otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the orbs on its neck and tail, allowing it to change the weather. Dragonair's entire body emits light whenever it affects the weather. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|lakes}}.
Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. As seen in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', it can make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a "divine Pokémon" since ancient times by agricultural peoples. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits pristine seas and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|lakes}}. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude. It is said that a person who sees a Dragonair at the start of a year will be healthy for the whole year. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonair is known to channel power and change the weather even while it sleeps.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>


==In the anime==
In [[Generation II]], Dragonair and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Clair's Dragonair]]====
[[Clair]]'s Dratini evolved into a Dragonair in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''.


====Other====
===Evolution===
Dragonair first appeared in the [[banned episodes|banned episode]], [[EP035]], as a Dratini the [[Kaiser|warden]] of the {{safari|Kanto}} was protecting. Over the 30 years since Kaiser last saw the elusive Dragon-type, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into Dragonair. It also had a child Dratini.
Dragonair evolves from {{p|Dratini}} and evolves into {{p|Dragonite}}.


In ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]'', a Dragonair was living in a lake that [[Mr. Saridakis]] once planned to build a luxury resort on.

===Origin===
===Origin===
It appears to be based on {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. It also appears to look like a snake, its tail even resembling that of a {{wp|rattlesnake}}. The wings on its head resemble those on the sandals and hat of the Greek god {{wp|Hermes}}, and its long, snakelike body may be a reference to the snakes on his scepter.

The wings on its head resemble those on the sandals and hat of the Greek god {{wp|Hermes}}, and its long, snakelike body may be a reference to the snakes on his {{wp|caduceus|scepter}}.


Dragonair may also be based on the ''{{wp|Korean dragon#Imugi|imugi}}'', a proto-dragon resembling a snake and lives in water or caves, much like Dragonair. After an ''imugi'' lives a thousand years, a jewel (called a ''Yeouiju'') will fall from the sky. If the ''imugi'' catches it, it will become a true dragon. The jewel on Dragonair's neck might also be a reference to the Japanese folktale, ''{{wp|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter}}'', in which the princess Kaguya-hime challenges her suitors to bring her back some items, including a colored jewel from a dragon's neck.

The jewels on Dragonair's neck and tail might also be a reference to Chinese dragons' associations with pearls, specifically, the {{wp|Eight Treasures|flaming pearl}} often placed under dragon's chin which symbolizes prosperity, power, immortality, thunder, and grants wishes.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Dragonair may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''air'' (referring to its ability to change the weather or to its ''air'' of grace and majesty) or ''debonair'' (referring to its graceful appearance and flying). It could also refer to a "lair", the traditional home of a dragon.  
Dragonair may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''air'', ''debonair'', or ''lair'' (traditional home of a dragon).


Hakuryū could be taken to mean 白竜 (white dragon). Hakuryu was also the name of the dragon-like companion of {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}/Cho Hakkai from the legend of the {{wp|Journey to the West}} in Buddhist lore.
Hakuryū may be derived from 白竜 ''hakuryū'' (white dragon).
