Who are the Dragon Aspects in World of Warcraft Dragonflight?

The World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion boasts new zones, Dracthyr Evokers, talent updates and so much more. The expansion is also shining a light on the Dragon Aspects. The original Dragon Aspects include Alexstrasza, Neltharion, Malygos, Nozdormu and Ysera. Wrathion, Kalecgos and Merithra are also entwined with their stories.

Alexstrasza the Life-Binder is of the red dragonflight in World of Warcraft. She is also known as the Dragon Queen. This is in addition to being the guardian of all life on Azeroth and the leader of the Dragon Aspects.

She was a proto-dragon alongside Malygos, Neltharion, Nozdormu and Ysera. Imbued with powers to protect Azeroth, these proto-dragons were transformed into the Dragon Aspects. Together, they fought against the corrupted proto-dragon named Galakrond. Alexstrasza later brought the other Aspects together to defeat Deathwing, which required the Aspects sacrificing a lot of their power.

In Dragonflight, players get to help Alexstrasza and the red dragonflight in the new Waking Shores area.

Neltharion was the Aspect of the black dragonflight, but he was driven to madness by the Old Gods. The Old Gods include C'Thun, N'Zoth and Yogg-Saron, who are physical manifestations of the Void. The Void is a primal force in the World of Warcraft universe.

After the Old Gods corrupted Neltharion, the dragon took on the name Deathwing the Destroyer. When Deathwing failed to enslave the other dragonflights, he aimed to shatter the world. Deathwing met his defeat after the other Aspects and their allies fought against him. He fell into the Maelstrom rift and was destroyed by the Dragon Soul. The Dragon Soul was created to harness the power of the different dragonflights.

Wrathion, also known as the Black Prince, is the son of Deathwing and a black dragon who is uncorrupted. His goal of protecting Azeroth can be described as ruthless at times. Wrathion worked with World of Warcraft champions to save Azeroth from an Old God. N'Zoth, the Old God, was significantly involved in the corruption of Neltharion.

Currently, Wrathion aims to continue protecting Azeroth. Wrathion also has a new story to go alongside his involvement in the World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion. This story is The Vow Eternal by Christie Golden.

Nozdormu is the Aspect of the bronze dragonflight. He was tasked to safeguard time itself. After the fall of Deathwing, Nozdormu lost a significant portion of his power. The bronze dragonflight Aspect also foresaw himself being corrupted and leading the infinite dragonflight made up of corrupted bronze dragons. His future self, Murozond, was defeated by champions of Azeroth.

World of Warcraft fans can join Nozdormu in a series of videos where he talks about Dragonflight lore.

Malygos was the Aspect of the blue dragonflight in the World of Warcraft universe. He was the guardian of magic, ruling his dragonflight alongside his mate. Deathwing used the Dragon Soul to destroy most of the blue dragonflight, resulting in only a few eggs left. Malygos later met his defeat in the Nexus War, which was a battle against mortals who used magic. After his defeat, Kalecgos led the blue dragonflight.

Kalecgos, also known as just Kalec, guides the blue dragonflight. He also became the Aspect of Magic after he helped take down Deathwing. During the Nexus War, Kalecgos opposed Malygos' crusade against magic users. Later, Kalecgos joined the Kirin Tor, which is made up of the most powerful mages.

In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, players get to help Kalecgos in the new Azure Span location.

Ysera was the Aspect of the green dragonflight. Also known as The Dreamer, she was tasked to watch over the wilds from the Emerald Dream. The Emerald Dream refers to a spirit realm in World of Warcraft. When Ysera woke up within the Emerald Dream, she was known as The Awakened. Like the other Aspects, she later fought to defeat Deathwing as well.

Due to the corruption of the Old Gods, Ysera fell into the Emerald Nightmare and was put to rest. Later, Ysera's soul ended up in Ardenweald forest within the Shadowlands realm. She also got resurrected and bound to Shadowlands.

Merithra is the daughter of Ysera. After Ysera got put to rest, Merithra took up the mantle to lead the green dragonflight. She played a role in the War of the Shifting Sands, which was a conflict that also involved the Old God known as C'Thun. Currently, Merithra is still guiding the green dragonflight.

In the new World of Warcraft expansion, the Ohn'ahran Plains area is known as the former home of the green dragonflight.
