Red Dragons (炎竜 Reddo doragon?, lit. "flame dragon") are a species of dragon in the manga Delicious in Dungeon. One eats Falin at the beginning of the manga, kick-starting the plot.[1]
Anatomy and Appearance[]
Red Dragons are four-limbed creatures with a long pointed tail and lizard-like snout,[citation needed] and as per their name, are red in color.[2] They are covered in extremely protective scales which are as strong as steel and resistant to magic and weapon damage.[3] Their skin is incredibly thick.[4] They have two pairs of horns on their head, one pair that curves round towards their mouth and one that points straight back.[5] They lack wings[5] but have the ability to breathe fire. They can do this by clicking their tongue and igniting the fuel stored in their bodies, then exhaling.[6] The fuel is typically the indigestible parts of their meals, like bones and fur,[7] as well as oil.[8] The burns left by dragon fire are apparently different to normal fires.[9] In addition, male dragons have a small protrusion underneath their chin, while female dragons do not.[10]

Behavior and Weaknesses[]
Dragons are the apex of all living creatures.[11] Scaled dragons like Red Dragons are invulnerable against most forms of both magical and physical attack due to their extremely strong scales.[3] In addition, magic cannot be used inside their stomachs.[12] They do, however, have a weak point on the underside of their neck where it is possible to land a killing blow.[3] Mithril weapons are useful in this situation as they are able to cut through dragon scales.[13]
Dragons are said to spend most of their time in slumber to maintain their large bodies and thus take a while to digest their food.[14] Red Dragons in particular are said to wake approximately once a month to hunt[15] and tend to swallow their prey whole, retaining what they cannot digest as fuel for their fire breath.[7] The top speed of a Red Dragon is approximately 60 kilometers per hour (about 37 miles per hour);[16] however, they are considered to be not very agile.[17]
Male Red Dragons are known for being territorial.[10]
Culinary Usage[]
Red Dragon meat can be roasted and their tails boiled in soup.[18] The meat is fairly tough and chewy, but has a rich taste and powerful aroma.[19] Their scales can be used as baking trays.[20]
Red Dragon has been used in the following dishes:
