Dragon

Dragons are beings who can appear human or anything they wish to be. The dragon Ferrovax appeared in Grave Peril, and the slain dragon Siriothrax was discussed in Proven Guilty. Except for their immense power, very little is known about them.

Description
According to Harry, dragons are supposed to be big with scales, claws, wings and so forth. According to Ferrovax, they can appear as anything they wish to be.

Grave Peril
In Grave Peril, the Dragon Ferrovax attended Bianca St. Claire's masquerade party as a Roman legionary.

Michael Carpenter reports that he slew the Dragon Siriothrax when he rescued his future wife Charity.

Proven Guilty
In Proven Guilty, after Molly Carpenter was abducted by a Fetch, sitting in the upper pews of the balcony at Saint Mary of the Angels, Charity Carpenter told Harry the story of how Michael rescued her from Siriothrax. She had been traded to Siriothrax by Gregor in exchange for power.

Word of Jim
According to Jim Butcher there are two types of dragons, distinguished by their spelling: Dragons "large D" and dragons "little d".

Dragons (with an uppercase D) are elemental forces of the cosmos in the more Asian sense of the concept, semi-divine beings who were once given authority over various portions of the mortal universe, and who were responsible for their orderly procession.

The dragons (with a regular lowercase d) are like the general concept of dragons, but they are essentially nothing but emissaries and servitors created in the image of the real thing. There are not nearly as many as there were in the past.

Both kinds of dragons almost universally resent humanity for usurping the balance of power in the world.

There are only two Dragons left as of the present day, the third having been killed by Michael Carpenter. Besides Ferrovax, the other surviving Dragon is named Pyrovax.
