Dvagon
Dvagons (JP: ドフゴン) are the Level "0" Basic Breed of the Dragon family, introduced in What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?.
Like all Basic Breeds, Dvagons can only move left and right, and can regenerate from around 125 HP. Like most Dragons, Dvagons create Guano when fed, which paralyses heroes that step on it and can be eaten by Omnoms. Dvagons are placed with their brethren at the top of the food chain, eating anything but runeborn minions.
Unlike other "Basic" Dragons, Dvagons can only be created by repeatedly regenerating a Dragon until it reaches 1-4 mana or getting lucky with a Treasure Chest or Fossil. The former can easily be performed through repeatedly culling of a regular Dragon without feeding it; two strikes of a freshly spawned dragon will cull it, and then doing so again will spawn a Dvagon. If a Dvagon dies while it has 0 mana, it will not regenerate, making this effectively the only way they can die other than being slain by a hero.
As the mana deficiency implies, it is offensively weak and often overwhelmed by heroes up-close. However, it's much faster than normal Dragons - nicknamed the "Mach-Daddy" in No Heroes Allowed! - which makes them slightly better at covering long corridors and easier to feed with weaker monsters.
Originally designed to be a punishment for poor mana maintenance, in What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 onwards, the Dvagon gained its own side-branch to the Dragon family; if a Dvagon dies with at least 75 mana, it will turn into a Long Dragon, which can eventually be upgraded into a Hydra.
The Dvagon is a Level 1 purple block in No Puzzles Either, obtainable only via the Mine. While it has lower Attack than a Dragon, it can be upgraded into a Long Dragon; its final form, the Hydra, is the strongest Dragon family member in the game.
In-Game Descriptions
What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!?
- Taxonomy: Drago suinae
They look, sound, and feel like dragons, but they definitely don't smell like them. And luckily, they don't taste like them either. These guys came in handy during the Beef Prohibition Era, and people still eat them to this day. Dvagon Rinds, anyone?

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2
- Food: Everything but Badman
- Predators: N/A
- Mutates to: Classified
Its meat tastes like pork, making it very popular. There has been much debate recently over whether or not they are related to Dragons, which has led to civil unrest in Netherworld resturants. I, for one, don't care as long as they continue to taste great.

No Heroes Allowed!
- Food: Everything except Overlords and the Runeborn
- Predators: None
- Regeneration: Yes
Debates rages throughout the hells of the Underworld Academy about how these beasts can be considered "pure", since pure species normally come about through mutation. Still, dragons, as ever, love to be different, and despite the dissenting voices, Dvagons are indeed a pure species. Holy-water-induced purity has thrown another spanner in the works recently though, and it looks like the debate could continue for some time yet.

Etymology
Dvagon is a corruption of Dragon, effectively being a deformity of the upper breed due to a mana deficiency. This follows the Japanese name, being ドフゴン dofugon, being an ever-so-slight misspelling of ドラゴン doragon.
The Chinese name, 多拉貢 Duōlāgòng, appears to be a phonetic transcription of dragon, further contrasting with 龍 lóng, the Chinese name for the Dragon.

Trivia
- In No Heroes Allowed!, Dvagons are said to arguably be a Pure Breed, adapting to starvation, though it also argues that Pure Dragons may invalidate it. This logic is followed in No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either!, where the Dvagon is categorised as a Basic Breed.
