True Dragon

True Dragons are the Highest tier Divine Monster Spirits, and are considered the strongest beings in the world, superior to both a True Demon Lord and Awakened Hero.

They are beings "perfect as one," especially durable, spiritual life forms, so they have no attachment to their physical bodies, they only take those forms to respond to the desires of religions or similar (or also for convenience).

Birth
True Dragons are immortal and unblemished beings made of pure energy and formed by sentient beings’ prayers. They are basically god-like beings that represent and embody some aspect of nature.

After a True Dragon is born for the first time, it can never be killed. Even if the individual itself is killed, another True Dragon of the same natural characteristic will be born anew somewhere else. That new True Dragon will not have the memories of the previous but simply understand its nature of existence right after birth.

There have been only two exceptions throughout the story:

Spoiler Alert!


 * One is when Velgaia ingested and fused with the Zero's core. This suggests that even if a True Dragon cannot be killed, its natural characteristic/essence can be transformed into other forms.
 * Another is when the World itself feels it necessary to remove the existence of a True Dragon. Naturally, this isn't simply limited to True Dragons but to any being that violates fundamental rules of the World's System.
 * Another example would be Rimuru's evolution into an Ultimate Slime. By fusing with the energies produced by Veldora, he became an existence that could be referred to as a True Dragon but retained all memories of his previous life as Satoru Mikami, and his previous existence as a demon slime.

Relationship
Although the True Dragons refer to each other as "brother" or "sister", they are not blood-related in the biological sense.

"White Ice Dragon" Velzado
Partner of Guy Crimson, Velzard is known to be second in birth as well as in power from Veldanava. She is prideful and haughty. She was incredibly jealous when Veldanava respected Guy and gave him important roles instead of paying attention to her.

"Scorch Dragon" Velgrynd
Partner of Rudra Nam Ul Nasca, Velgrynd is the fastest Dragon in existence. Her very essence is that of 'acceleration' and 'high momentum'. Although slightly hot-headed, she is very compassionate, especially to her allies and family.

"Storm Dragon" Veldora Tempest
The (second) youngest of the original four True Dragons. He is connected with Rimuru by an agreement and was known to frequently rampage here and there. known to act very childish. Veldora is also Rimuru's closest friend.

Rimuru Tempest

He became a comparable existence to a True Dragon (Ultimate Slime) after eating and analyzing the magical power of Veldora in his fight against Velgrynd. He is also a partner and best friend of True Dragon Veldora Tempest.

Trivia

 * In the Light Novel, Milim Nava is considered a True Dragon and the youngest of four beside Velzard, Velgrynd, and Veldora. While in the Web novel she doesn't since Rimuru is the 5th True Dragon instead of the 6th.
