A Dragoon is a thin, dragon-like creature with silver and purple skin. Its hands only have two distinct digits, while its feet have three long, purple toes each. It also has a thin, purple tail and sharp, white wings with purple tips lined by spikes resembling those on the Nobody symbol. The Dragoon's real "face" seems to be a small, black area in what seems to be its neck, while its draconian "head" acts as something of a helmet. This "helmet" sports a jagged, open mouth at its end, lacks eyes, and is lined by thin spikes. The Dragoon's upper body and "neck" are covered in magenta straps. There is also a white Nobody sigil on its left thigh. Like all Nobodies, Dragoon's have astounding levels of flexibility. It wields a long [[Nobody Lance|lance]] as a weapon.

The Dragoon is based on the ''Final Fantasy'' [[finalfantasy:Dragoon|job class of the same name]]. This in turn was named after the real life [[wikipedia:dragoon|cavalry]] used by the 17th and 18th Centuries armies in Europe and even in the American Revolution. In addition, the "Learn" Reaction Command is used by [[finalfantasy:Blue Mage|Blue Mages]] in the ''Final Fantasy'' series in order to mimic monster abilities.
