Known Dragons
Maleficent's Dragon Form
Maleficent is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. She is a powerful sorceress who, amongst her other dark powers, has the ability to transform into a dragon. When Prince David was assigned to put a golden egg containing bottled true love inside the belly of a beast residing in a castle, he discovered that the 'beast' was Maleficent. Maleficent then transforms into a dragon and attacks David. However, he manages to get the egg in through one of the gills in the dragon's neck and escapes. When the Dark Curse hits, Maleficent is trapped in her dragon form and resides underneath Storybrooke. When Emma Swan goes to retrieve the bottled true love, she goes to the underground caverns underneath Storybrooke, armed with her father's sword. She battles Maleficent's dragon form and manages to stab the dragon in the stomach, causing it to burst into fire and ash and die. Maleficent is resurrected and kept alive, due to a spell in the underground cavern so that Maleficent can guard the trigger. Later, Maleficent joins Rumplestiltskin, Ursula and Cruella until she enlists Emma to find her daughter Lily.
But when Lily was leaving her and Storybrooke, and since Emma failed her, she enlists Snow White and David to help find her instead, and both were successful. Afterwards, they arrested Isaac Heller for what he wrote and made them do to hurt the couple. She is portrayed by Kristin Bauer van Straten.
